> todaY and yesterday <
went up to london last night to ELECTROgogo - mark moore's new night at madame JoJos. met up with Nicky, Anneke, ben, Annabelle and Richard. We all bought Champagne and danced crap. Went to Bar Rhumba and continued. Got the 335 train back to Maidenhead, was very cold, but Mr Hussein the Ace Cab Driver hooked us up. Today I've ben a bit hungover, went and bought a pimpin new KruPs coffee machine and a Brtttta water filer thingie. Also bought SSX 3 for my PS2, been playing it this evening with my mate Martin, and we decided it's a bit shit - totally identical to SSX tricky - the last one, so I'm taking it back 2moro to swap with something. In general, all is well, its good to be back home for a while, looking forward to gettting on in the studio next week and soem serious running and gymnasticz. Here's a scan of the flyer from Cleveland:

HeLLo. Been jogging a lot lately, did 5 miles on THurssday, and 4 on monday and today. Yesyes. Thanks to my new Luke Slater CD helps me runrunrun. TOday i saw a horse and a PHEASANT in the field I ran past! WHooo. A Pheasant. I should have hunted it like Madonna.  Had a good week really, somehow ended up wakign up naturally at 7am all week, and goign out for early runs - my Dad's friend James Brown and Phil the mighty plumber dude have been in and fixed my shower and fittted a bunch of new radiators so my house is now finally veRy waRm. Also been getting a lot of studio stuff done - I'm finishing off tracks for my new album, and it's going really well. I went back and polished off new mixes of "Mercury Skies", "American Girls" and "Faith in Me" so far, got a few more to work on next week but its looking like I'll be all done pretty soon. Nice. OH, Zane Lowe PLayed my "Blandwagon Poos" track on Radio 1 the other day too, and suddenly I've had tonnes more peopel calling up about it, and other production work - wierd.... so much has happened as a result of that track, and it's the one I put the least effort into, Ever - like a total 6 hour rinse out jsut to take the piss... There's some bootlegs appearing everywhere too, on eBay adn all sorts. Nuts. Oh weLL. Was bound to happen. Went up to mark Moore's Electrogogo night on Thursday, at Madame Jojos with heaps of mates, and had a glorious time. Met up with Jensrocker from NYC, her friend Athena who was loverLy, and Detroit, Sarah, Erin, Daisybelle, Annabelle, James, Haled etc etc. WE all bundled over to Bar Rhumba afterwards for Dnb which was fun - except some weird pillmuncher was hassling the laYdeeez so we got a security man to scare him off. Some guy was trying to pickpocket my friend annabelle on Oxford St too when we were looking for a cab, but i clocked him and exposed him to the massives, he wasnt happy adn was very dodgy, but went away. Then we went to Detroits house and drunk his remaining baileys. I ended up back in Maidenhead at 730am after a supercommutertrainride, hurting. oh yeah, found some wikkid thinGz in the internet today, collections of samples fo arnie and al pacino and stuff. do a search on google for soundboard prank calls or something adn you will find... ok, studio nowwww, byeeeee Oh and here's some Pictures from LA a while back my friend Wendy Alas took and emailed over this week:    Oh and here's one Brent sent me, with CobY from DC (of electrotease fame) when we were all at NagNagNag over the summer. Note how mysteriously orange I was... TANorexic indeed. I think that was just after the heatwave, and had been religiously sunbathing in the garden listening to Flock of Seagulls for like 7 days straight...

Stayed in and worked in the Studio all night. Martin, Robbie and SHaz came over for a bit in the afternoOn and Shaz used her mighty SSX3 skilllz to unlock lots of things for me on it on the PLaystation. Finshed off the track this morning, a definite kiLLLLer for the album. Had Challenge TV on all morning in the background adn they started showing old classic gameshows - Crackerjack came on - that old UK kids show from teh 80s, and they had 'live' PAs - THOMPSON TWINS!!!! BOHHH. Love it. DOctoR Doctor was one of my faves as a KiDdie. Some lovely tracks, very much underrated. I think they moved to New Zealand now. KiLLer HairDos too, as usual for the 80s. WhoaH.

No photos today. Hmm, briefly what's been going on? Did kareoke on Sunday night in maidenhead, to "Hey Mickey" with my mate Zoe - we smashhhhed it. The first time i actually knew the words to a kareoke song so coudl do a bit of performing rather than staring nervously at the lyrics. Been getting up way early in time for the guys doing my new radiators and plasterboardkign in my kitchen. Its almost done now, all the radiators are in now and veryyyyy warm. To the point of mashing my brain up. Steve finally brough my Xbox back a couple of days ago too, and i virtually ODd on videogaming, and espressos, so much so i eneded up totally phased out with motion sickenss on some wierd planet adn had to go to bed at 11. Badassss. Beeen running a lot, did't see any more pheasants, but many a bunny, oh and of course evil hell hounds, i hate people with idiot dogs that come and harrass you when you're jogging. i like to be all relaxed and enjoyin gthe scenery when i go jogging, not worryign if some pit bull is gonna end up chasing me and biting my arse. Although, I figure, if some1 looks after their dog enough to take it ou for nice walks in the park then its probably not as mad and bite-prone as a playstation housebound dog. Either way, its still a pain when they come and stress you when you're jogging. Rant over.    Yesterday, I jsut did a few office jobs, made some sound FX for my some school play my mother is vaguely involved in and volounteered me for. had to make the souind of a shooting star (??!!) and a space station alarm or something. Wasn't too hard. Amusing I guess. Then met up with Dan Fresh of Bad Company fame cos he's come back home to Maidenhead for a week or so from NYC - jstu had lunch and talked abotu some musicccy stuff, played some tunes and all that. Then, I jsut worked on some studio stuff in the evening, and made a few freeeky phonecalls to mates with my arnold schwartzeneggger soundbards. Tonight - its the knowledge magazine drum adn bass awards, so ill be going off there later with a whole bunch of mates, should be a laughhhhhh. BOH. Will fill u in 2moro....
