you're a fucking wasp, man, butterflies don't sting

I've got nice and far into a remix for Voices of Masada, which I was finding it hard to stick my head into. They are, and have always been trad-as-you-like, so not necessarily the most instantly compatible music you might imagine for The DeathBoy. But, for dirty doiley-wielders, they have some really good songs, serious ear-worms, which is very much all it's ever about.

I've been working on a remix of "Walk Away" by them, and I think it's going somewhere good.

Raymon may fucking hate it tomorrow, this is the risk we take. :)

So many tiny problems solved. I do declare that I'm getting my hate back.

I've found it terribly hard to write music over the last six months because I was, for the first time in my life, happy. Content.

I am pleased to announce that this has ceased to be the case.

Normal service will be resumed momentarily.

"I've found it terribly hard to write music over the last six months because I was, for the first time in my life, happy. Content."

I can totally understand this. :D

I hope being able to write music again doesn't mean you're no longer happy! You sound, in reality, genuinely happy for the first time, perhaps, since I've known you.

I know what you mean about finding hard to write when you're happy, though, I seem to find it easier to write when I'm slightly miserable. Well, ok, perhaps not miserable-miserable for real, actually; when you are truly depressed it is also very difficult to write anything that you don't hate the day after.

I disagree, I can only write comic songs if I'm anything other than abjectly miserable. When I'm happy, writing sad or even just emotionally frank songs seems self-indulgent. Maybe I only have an ego when miserable!

Glad to hear you've got your musical mojo back, not so pleased to hear that it's at the expence of that contentment thing.
I'd rather you compose somthing that Mike Batt would think was soft than have you go through the angstmill in a state of genuine misery.

Remember. Wasps and anti-histamines don't mix.

I too have regained musical fecundity through misery.
It's about the only worthwhile side-effect I can think of.
Other than that, it all sucks ass.

I dunno man, I think At My Best and Bugs are storming tracks. In fact once I've got a few more tracks under my belt, I think I'm gonna have a crack at the At My Best multitrack.

I belive

That I have watched Mr Sinbad DJ a stonking EBM set not so long ago. He played some good tunes :)
