Studio Diary: The Weekend, 4th + 5th July; Day 9/10




Day 9: The day I come studio with a goatee

'You look like satan'
'I feel I look like a cop'

is the conversation that ensues when I get to Denis' at 5.30pm on Saturday.

We start mixing Mr A.M. after he shows me Song 4 and tells me I made the Re-Do list. Theo arrives an hour later and the exact same conversation begins. The song is sounding awesome with links to Cairo and Song 3 in sound par tapping. We are all giddy. Mario could not make it today and is coming tomorrow. We make a 'To-Do' list; we have sooo much to do. Theo begins to call me Reno 911 cos hes a dick. Instead of Victory Pubbing it, Theo and I drive to seafront and get Strongbow and Nuts. On this journey we broke the law by driving down a one way road with the possibility of traffic coming around the corner at any moment; was intense. At 11.30 we went to Limassol roundabout and gap song-ed it till 2ish where we scared the bejesus out of a small bird, were nearly mauled to death by a ferocious dog and found a drive-thru sandwich shop/supermarket where one literally pulled up to a window, told the guy what they wanted and he would wander the shop gathering your required condoments.

Day 10: The day I come studio with a moustache

'Now you look like a cop'
'I feel I look like a dick'

is the conversation that ensues.

Mario does bass for Cairo and then we both blitz through our 'Re-Do List'. There are numerous interviews throughout the day concerning Folk Week, Anal is Worth the Wait and Assfarm (the meaning of these will become apparent at somepoint. We also established that a beard grows better every(next)time you grow one. Therefore no matter how old you get in life you always have that to look forward to... eh, how about it! ANYWAY, the songs are sounding great and we split for lunch reconviening at 3.30pm where we do little work on Song 1 then go drink where we intend to discuss the music video. This takes about 2 minutes and we then start doing horrific impersonations of people. We leave early since Theo is 'under the thumb'. Tomorrow again at 10am. Goodnight x
