OMG! So much has happened in the last few weeks!

Good evening, Interwebs. I have been feeling very lazy of late. Hence why this entire blog will be written using a Macintosh dictation program, in which I only have to speak rather than type.

I am starting to get a headache. It really hurts.

On the plus side, my computer is writing all of this, while I merely say it out loud! Is that not the most amazing thing you've heard all day?! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to recognize swear words. Although I think it's a worthy compromise, considering now I can write all my essays just by talking, which I happen to be very good at.

My girlfriend and I are moving in together! I'm sure most of you will say "about time!" As we had been together over five years now, and I'm sure you'd be right. Either way, the flat is absolutely gorgeous - we are living in the basement of a refurbished Victorian house on Trinity Street. One of those lovely little places with halogen spotlights and a fitted kitchen. It comes unfurnished, but that's one of the things I like about it. It means we can make it our own. Taya and Peter's place :)

The rest of the Wobbly Bob crew are also moving house. I saw the place last night. It's awesome! A bit...yellow, but as we all agreed, it's going to make an amazing party venue.

Jay, our drummer, is moving in with Mindtrap Tom (http://www.youtube.com/user/daygloraver), next door to our bassist and producer, Alex.

So many things have happened since I last blogged. We basically rerecorded the wobbly Bob EP, which we will be touring over August (dates to follow). We put so much effort into it this time and we know so much more about recording and mixing too, so once it's finished I'm sure we'll all be very proud of it. Here's the thing though, we have decided to release it on vinyl and download only as most of you already have our CD. With all the download could be like an update for you all in the vinyl could be something special, with lyric sheets, pictures and other awesome goodies!

Alex, Jay and I have also, rather tentatively, started up our own production business, (http://www.myspace.com/happytreefrogproductions), which is already gaining interest from local artists and bands. Just a little plug here we are offering recording and mixing services for both signed and unsigned bands and artists, guitar, bass and drum lessons, and custom length professional quality cables (guitar and XLR) all fairly nominal fees. Get in touch on the myspace if you are interested.

Well, there you have it. A new blog. Now I'm knackered, time for a lie down I think.

Oh, go watch Leon - it's amazing.

Later homies xxx
