Skip The Budgie

I wrote some 'new' music at last! For months I've been saying to myself that I should really get my arse in gear and sort this shit out coz people seem to like it, and although some of my tunes are out there (ie. I've donated 4 to this guy at work, who has an ongoing project to promote new music talent to anyone and big producers and stuff so I thought 'what the hey', and he's been playing it to Massive Attack's producer and other peeps and I've had one song played on the radio. When I say radio I mean a small internet radio station no one listens to and I don't even know which tune they played...), I'm afraid.

{later} ...Just found out that the Internet radio show is called [ d i a l e c t ] and they played my tune in the show on the 11th March. It took me a while to find out which one, since their link to it is broken, but if you go to the Audio Archives and go into /20040311/ there's an mp3 called dave...{/later}

Anyway I've decided to be resolved about getting my 'proper' web site up and running so there'll be somewhere where people can get my stuff, if they like it so much. Since this though, I've had others who never thought I wrote music come and tell me I should do something with it so I'm worrying about (a) copyright and (b) how can I play it live? Should I take my keyboard, guitar amp, guitar, mic and a laptop, and try to play some of the songs? Would I look silly when I've blatantly just pressed play? I've been to gigs like that and they didn't look that silly. maybe I should try to find someone who has a funky electronic drumkit...

All this and more I want to open out to forums and just focus the blog on the madness in SP and developments in the music. at least then it'll be slightly interesting.
