00050 // 29/10/11

the reasons to be tearful records will be ready very soon so all pledgers will have their exclusives and 7"s in november. once they have all been posted the records will go on sale to everyone else. if any of you didn't already pledge please buy the new record because i need the money. anyway, i played a couple of gigs at the railway hotel this month. first one was on the twelfth playing with son of buff, caleb and sectarian flytrap. setlist went like this:

wwf
happy birthday, richard hell
beautiful mental patient
chelsea hotel #2
if you see her, give her hell
my true geology is not stone but fear
dinosaur egg
marty feldman eyes
there's no smoke without you

then on the seventeenth i played with dave woodcock and tim keech:

wwf
happy birthday, richard hell
if you see her, give her hell
dinosaur egg
beautiful mental patient
i think we might be weirdos
my true geology is not stone but fear
chelsea hotel #2
just like pigpen
island in the sun
marty feldman eyes
there's no smoke without you

i know both sets are a bit similar but i haven't been practicing very much and i can't remember the words to songs at the best of times.

finally, on thursday i was recorded for the shangri-la soup podcast which is broadcasted live but you can still stream or download it from here. also playing on the podcast are tom burgess, dane glasby from the beatroots, owen williams and mick denny. it is recorded totally acoustically so i used my acoustic bass and had to sing a bit higher so i could belt the songs out a bit. also, excuse my horrible chitchat between songs, i'm trying to be a bit more affable and/or entertaining but i'm no good at that stuff. i play these songs on the podcast:

dinosaur egg
pensioners hands
wwf
i love you love me love
beautiful mental patient
my body the temple and i the iconoclast
marty feldman eyes
there's no smoke without you
chelsea hotel #2

once the records and pledges are all posted, the golden boy extended player will be released online. after that i'll finish recording my album weird summer and hopefully release it before the end of the year. if you haven't already, download all my albums and eps and singles from bandcamp (most of them are free) and follow me on twitter if you're into that sort of thing. next gig is fifth of november back at the railway opening for son of buff.
