Staymaker

We just finished writing a new song called Staymaker. The title is inspired by Thomas Paine as we've both just read a book about him by Christopher Hitchens which I'd thoroughly recommend. We've demoed a working version of the song, but we've yet to put the eyebrows on it. That's us up there 'laying some track'.

The real magic is happening next weekend though when we're recording for real down in That London with our good friend Mental Benn, perhaps for a real life record to come out. We're also going to hang out in Parliament and see Pavement. Which is possibly even cooler than hanging out on a sidewalk and seeing Funkadelic. There's a high five going for everyone who stayed on my wavelength through that sentence.

Oh yeah, we're playing a gig in Nottingham on May 20th at the Golden Fleece on Mansfield Road, which promises to be a hoot because they serve nice beer and everything. I might play my sweet looking Black Lodge Telecaster. I'm an idiot who spray paints guitars to look like things from Twin Peaks.
