I know I've let things slide here but TWO MONTHS?

I've had some truly great things happen in that time too. I took photos to prove it, but I didn't get around to actual blogging.

We went to see Frank Sidebottom and he was fantastic. Last time we saw him was about 9 years ago and some of his act was the same. But it's all good and I literally cried laughing at how incredibly lovable and funny he is even with a big papier maché head! I spoke to a friend who knew someone who'd walked out of the gig after half an hour. I felt genuinely sorry that they didn't get him, because they are really missing out...

We also saw Kristin Hersh who was amazing. It's been ages since we saw her last too, but I was blown away by how consistently great she really is. I had a really crap view (being a bit on the short side), so I went to the side of the stage where I had a brilliant view. Not only could I see the whole of Kristin, but just off stage I could see two of her children (who looked identical, but different sizes) and her husband Billy who kept rushing on stage whenever Kristin needed assistance. It was a superb gig which stayed with me for several days (as good gigs should) and I've been listening to her latest album 'Learn to sing like a Star' lots and lots.

Apart from that, work has been just crazy busy. Several changes have happened which means that I can't seem to do anything but work all the time. I do twelve hours at the studio and then come home and do twelve more. I can always get to sleep when I go to bed, but then I'll wake up at 3am and can't get back to sleep, so I end up coming downstairs and doing more work.

I am so looking forward to later this week when I'm taking a short trip to Spain with some friends. It can't come soon enough (although I have tons of stuff to organise before I go).

Bring it on!
