It’s been a busy weekend.<\/p>\n
In the last few days I have been sent five CDs by bands\/artists, music agents, PR companies.<\/p>\n
Or not.<\/p>\n
I say ‘or not’ because one of the CDs arrived without the sender’s details, without a business card, without a compliment slip, without a briefing note.<\/p>\n
So it might have been sent by any of the above-mentioned people, or it might have been put in the post by a friend of the band.<\/p>\n
Oh well.<\/p>\n
I listen to every CD that is submitted; it would be rude not to. And unprofessional.<\/p>\n
Last night we went to a gig at a bikers pub in the next village. It ended up being a very late night.<\/p>\n
The band – Rock Doctors – are a 70s\/80s covers band. Most of their work was comprised of obvious choice music; The Who, Free, Stevie Wonder, The Band and more.<\/p>\n
The band’s Big Closing Number was Pink Floyd’s ‘Comfortably Numb’.<\/p>\n
It was, without doubt, the best live version of ‘Comfortably Numb’ I’ve ever heard.<\/p>\n
It was even better than Pink Floyd’s own live version, which I’ve heard Pink Floyd perform twice.<\/p>\n
We didn’t leave the pub until stupid o’clock this morning.<\/p>\n
And finally got out of bed just before noon.<\/p>\n
Today has been busy; I came home, have ridden, practised guitar, listened to work, wrote work, edited some audio work, edited some video work, cooked, ate, washed-up, tidied, washed and dried one of Vin’s lightweight rugs and practised guitar again.<\/p>\n
I’m currently watching one of the things I recorded last night (Transporter 3), whilst writing this.<\/p>\n
It is 7.30pm.<\/p>\n
I shall be in bed by 9pm, and asleep soon after.<\/p>\n
Except I will get a phone call around 10.15pm.<\/p>\n
I had quite a choice of things to watch this evening. I have already watched one of the many episodes of ‘Suits’ I have stacked up on my PVR.<\/p>\n
Last night, while I was out, I recorded a bunch of rubbish television, for mindless evenings such as this.<\/p>\n
Transporter 3, John Tucker Must Die, The Princess Diaries, Muppets From Space and an episode each of Dr Who and Winter Wipeout.<\/p>\n
Because when you’re as tired as I am, you only want mindless pap on the television.<\/p>\n
And believe me, I am tired.<\/p>\n
But also good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
