I didn't even expect to be making another record
this year. Didn't know what I was expecting to do. However round
about Easter having a bit of time on my hands, I thought I ought
to maybe do another download for the website. Up in Dave's garden
shed, with a little digital eight-track, the kind which young musicians
buy to make their first demos on, we started work. The thing is,
I discovered, a shed and a portastudio is exactly my forte. I've
made perfectly good records with less. We had one mic, my acoustic
guitar, a semi-acoustic bass and my old Rickenbacker. No keyboards,
no proper drum kit--only some beats backed up with a few kitchen
utensils for percussion. Two months later, we've nearly finished
an album of almost brand new songs, most of them written a couple
of days or so before I began recording them
Using classic garage production methods, we slammed things down, often in one or two takes, left them, stuck some reverb on them and mixed them to CD. Very Cleaners from Venus. When I finally air the collection, which I will do quite soon, I will ask myself: "What's changed, since I was last doing this kind of d.i.y thing?" The answer is, everything...but also, nothing. I'm probably a slightly better songwriter and musician, if a slightly less fiery one.
