Progress – It’s keeps getting deeper!

Inglourious Basterds

This is the first time I’ve actually been waiting in anticipation for a Tarantino flick. I was too young when films such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Jackie Brown were released. As for Kill Bill, I don’t think I saw them until a few years after all the hype.

Old Stuff That’s Actually Quite Awesome

So today I was looking for an old piece of music amongst my many unorganised folders of music sessions everywhere.

That Damn Last Song

So lately I’ve been trying to organise my songs and work out which order I want them to be on the album. This has become quite a frustrating process. I’ve already got my first track sorted out, which is cool. But finding a track to put on the end of the album is starting to [...]
