Something I should have done a long time ago...

Hi Guys!

And gals I suppose to be politically correct.

Gawdddd. What a week. Spent most of it trying to put up my last blog, and to be honest most of that’s old news by now. Many things have happened since then, both in the production of Jenky aid and in general. The most notable event being seeing a gig in Cardiff which cost me just over a hundred pounds on train fare. The gig was only a tenner as well; I feel like I have just been wallet raped by transpennine express. It was worth it, though as I got to see the best band ever and shook the hand of my idol Mr Godfrey, along with meeting some friends I’ve never actually seen in person before.

Anyway, as they say, to business.
Firstly, I have a couple of ticks to make. I’m happy to say I have recorded everything but the guitars onto audio now, and written a bassline. Got my good friend Mr Oliver Baker to lay it down and the beautiful man nailed everything in 1 take. I love working with talented people. So that’s 2 ticks there.

Secondly, I have sorted everything out for the church! 30th of November, 10 days before the release of the final thing, which means I’ll have only a couple of days to mix it all in, so I’m hoping to get the individual vocal recordings done MUCH sooner to allow myself what I have come to know as ‘fail time’ because I never end projects like this without losing some very important file right at the end. Fail time gives you time to rectify this although it shouldn’t happen this time because I think I’m keeping on track with everything. I even bought a pen drive to keep all the files on. I’m so responsible. Yayer. I’d upload a video of me doing a little dance but blogger might try and shove it up my nose again, and I’ll lose another week, so feel free to use your imagination. Maybe this will get you started:


And here’s the list with the new tick, along with the tick for making more lists as I’m being organised for my course now. Good times.

So all that’s left to do is record my legion of guitars and army of nutters that is Jenkinson A; and mix it all together. Then the actual song is done, and I just need to get it on the internet, for which I will require the services of Dr Ben Little from flat 8. Or maybe 7. I can never tell. Either way, he does websites and techy things, so he'll be able to help me make this a download :)

Ooh, also. As a thing. Some people have told me they quite like reading this blog. Woo! So I’d just like you to know that your time is not wasted in vain, I appreciate it very much, and I deeply love you all. As does Funk Snail.

I look forward to next time! Bye!
