Vikki rehearsal - Finishing Clookai project

OK so today I rehearsed with Vikki - we went thru some songs for Sunday's Sandy Denny Tribute - I did my homework on them and anything - Vikki arrived having changed one song to another - we workedthru them - then she felt poorly and had to go home. I wasn't feeing that great myself but I think it was coz I was tired as I had a bad night.

Wanted to do some promotional brainstorming but didnlt have the head for it - I finished the mastering of Clookai's album - listened thru - sounded fine - burned copies for her and label and they are ready to post.

Dropped some posters down to the Musician venue for the new gig on the 25th.

In evening installed wireless router at G's - had some trouble with security setup - needed some manual reading - but then later troubles were entirely caused by me trying to connect my laptop with the rinkydink Acer software rather than the Windows connection thing. Once I'd sussed that it was fine.

Got a call from Neil the Bass - he said he;d heard from Sally Barker that she was interested in recording at his studio with some...theremin - whoyagonnacall? :-)

Tired Head

I'm in one of my post project / post busy week heads - this usually leads to bad sleep patterns and by day vaguely trying to get organized but never doing much of any use. Then eyes wont stay open and I need a nap. Then I fumble around some more etc.... After a few days of this spiral I find it's best to take a sleeping pill and put my burned brain out for the night. It only happens every other month or so. Usually does the trick.

I oughta be fixin up my laptop or doing publicity but my brain aint up to manuals and blurb writing.

I did do some stuff tho -
I made a masterlist of promotional plans (vague) in all the spheres of my active music. I confirmed 2 gigs and sorted a guitarist for Musician venue gig.  I posted the Clookai project off to artist and label.

I then decided I just needed to get OUT of the studio and away fro computers, so I went to 2ndhand DVD store in town and bought some TV (I tend to watch DVDs instead of live tv nowadays) I got My Name is Earl season2, a Mae West, a Neil Simon, a Monkees concert (recent), and a 2disk Spinal Tap. All very cheap.

I also went to the City Gallery to discuss possibility of doing electronic music there - unfortunately I wasn't prepared and had no publicity or samples and being in Tired Head I looked like Alice Coopers older brother. Still she took my name and I remebered another poss electronic venue.

So I did do stuff see?

In the evenign I watched the Monkees concert from about 2000 - sans Nesmith  - fun - luckily lots of good Tork - he was on good form and a good selection of song. Only had to flip on one Jones song.

Now where's that sleeping pill again?
