sunshine on a sunny day

i'm sat in the back garden enjoying the rays of yorkshire's sunlight at the moment... suzy is in the hammock reading 'the hidden diaries of marie antoinette... andrew is fixing his bike, and ann is pottering about the garden doing bits and bobs... did some sanding of the windows before but came to the conclusion it was way too hot to be doing any work today... been discovering lots of good 1960's garage bands from the pebbles trash box-set - rogues, shadows of knight, sons of adam, positively 13 o'clock etc... lots of good fuzz/garage/psyche stuff... beat happening hasn't really been off my playlist, the same with mika miko too... wrote down a couple of scenes i want in my television script, one of which includes a man who wears rollerskates but has no feet...

the first cut is the deepest

i've decided to start a new blog... for various reasons i won't be continuing with sounds from the street... mainly because i want a fresh start... i've been working on a new musical project called seabeds... it's a lo-fi indie sound in vain of beat happening... sound good? i don't have my microphone on me at the moment so that's why nothing has been recorded except for the drums on logic pro... there are ideas in my head somewhere for a dark television comedy, gotta write them down or i will never get rich... my lack of motivation scares me... been working on the house at suzys mums, gardening, sanding window frames etc... been swimming a couple of times, gonna keep it up... went to york and saw a lot of old buildings, i love that stuff... more updates soon. peace out and all that jazz. ryan
