SMILE

9 Things that have made me smile recently:

1 - Knowing All Star FC (AC Milan) and their entourage of at last 50 will all be packed into Fratton park's tiny changing rooms tonight, like stinky sardines.

2 - 2.5% worth of VAT savings passed on to the public isn't really going to stimulate anything other than people's knowledge of percentages.

3 - Lucas album's nearly done and we're both looking back and laughing at the recording stories we've inherited, including the argument over kick drum frequencies.

4 - Orange's customer service, so bad it's comical!

5 - Certain people...you know who you are.

6 - Finishing the mixes on new LIGHTS songs.

7 - Sarcastic Gamer podcasts...even though I don't really play video games.

8 - The new K-the-I??? record

9 - Knowing exams will be over in 2 weeks.

A Chaotic life requires a huge smile

The impending life changes have happened, time to MTFU and face up to responsibilities and accept the doom of piss poor bank account balances in one of the worst financial crisis' this country has ever seen...it's great being young, single and tied down to thing's you never fully planned for. But anyway, since my last post the world has pretty much seen history being made - Barack Obama is now president, the world economy is fucked due largely to greed (debatable)and Tottenham Hotspur keep making me feel sick confirming my allergy to them still exists, possibly worse than ever!

Anyways, my year long Lucas project is finally getting there - i heard some rough cuts of the now, Album and to say it put a huge smile on my face is a gross understatement. It's been stressful, joyful, nearly led to huge rock 'n' roll falling outs between members (yes, all 2 of us) but the process has been great, approaching each song as a single entity...i forgot how much effort we put into each song, the results have totally been worth it though.

As for LIGHTS - I didn't win the Audion remix contest but the actual winner deserved it out-right. I had some great feedback from my work which has lead to other things and i'm glad to say, i've actually finished the mix on a few new tracks.
