Resonance date etc

Well.. looks like the Resonance broadcast date has changed again; it will be on Friday 28th July from 5.30 p.m. see www.theorchestrapit.com for details.
In the studio this Thursday to start finishing the CD. Now people are telling me not to learn to scream: isn't life confusing? At least, I will re-do the vocals for some of the songs. I have had to work very quickly for financial reasons, but since I haven't really released a current CD for 20 years, this one better be as good as I can make it! Gina's going to play bass on one of the tracks, and I'm starting to work on the notes for the booklet and phoning round to get prices for manufacturing and so on. I've dug out all my ancient copies of Viz, my Drumatix, everything I think I can sell on eBay to finance it, old bits of equipment (but not, of course, guitars apart from an Epiphone acoustic that troubles my fingers), a sporran made of sealskin that's totally unsound ideologically, unfortunately no Capo di Monte china.
I have handed in my notice at the University of Westminster and will be moving to the University of East London, west to east. I am talking to promoters about gigs in the autumn, talking to the moon about the tides, I can't believe so many things are changing and it's me that's doing it.
Wasn't T in the Park good? It was good last year too, and I think it's probably the best festival. How I wish I could go to see Erikah Badu this Friday at Somerset House.
