14th August 2017: Smell Of Steel / Shit Hair / The Suicide Box

Today, I have been recording with an electric double-bass, and afterwards I was left with that lovely smell on my fingertips left over from the steel bass strings. I am grateful for this pleasurable side-effect of an already pleasurable act.

I am grateful for the perverse joy I am getting from my hair being comfortably in the horrible phase between not quite long enough for a pony-tail but long enough it curls up like a ducks backside. It’s perfectly shitty.

I am grateful that my good friend Chris Bean has released his album ‘The Suicide Box’ today. I know it’s been in his mind in various forms over the last few years, and it makes me so happy he’s pulled it all together, with the help of Joe Levi and Mark Fallavollita.
