Figure this out...

It's been a busy month, hence not much activity here.

In the middle of finally moving the rest of my studio and records out of my house: 8 years of accumulated stuff and mountains of vinyl in every conceivable place. My studio was in the loft conversion three floors up and contained an unexpected amount of vinyl stashed under the eaves. I reckon I've moved about 12,000 records so far, as well as crates of CDs, tapes, studio equipment: only 12,000 more to go from the record shelves on the second floor- think I'll be employing a man with a van for the rest...

I'm in the middle of a few things edit-wise, and there's some stuff I've done and not posted - keep your eyes peeled on the blogs I'm linked to for some newbies.

I've something in mind for some of the stuff posted here, will be happening in September, all being well.

I've nearly finished my edit of I Keep Forgetting by Michael MacDonald, but I'm not convinced it's there yet so it'll have to wait till next week.

Here's something I've been playing out for the past couple of weeks -my Jamie Lidell edit. The new album has had a mixed reception, and I think the production's a bit disappointing in places - possibly playing it a bit too safe - but there's no denying the man's got some voice for a skinny white bloke, and he can cut it live: just hope he retains some of the madness of his old live shows now he seems to be heading for the mainstream...
