Blog Marathon!
Well well well, would you adam and eve it? I'm trying to think of an analogy that doesn't involve buses and waiting - but I can't but I also won't be that predictable.
Well, I guess its my turn, as B Diddy (bruce to you !) prefers to present himself as the strong silent type (he's not...)
I quite like writing on this board as opposed to my cell, because I have to be self disciplined for fear of being abused by the rest of the band....
It looks like I got to write this just as the excitement is taking hold - Did anyone hear us on radio 1 last night?!!!
I couldn't believe it! I sent them the demo a few weeks ago, and just on the off chance I checked the email before I went to bed last night, and there it was
"Sorry for the late notice... You'll be on the show between 11 and 1"
Get in! - oh, guess I can't sleep for another two hours then. Natch.
So I immediately turned on the radio - and listened... no....ooh, is that? - no.....maybe now - arghhh WHEN?!!!! And just as I was about to give up all hope - there it was, on my stereo, coming out of the speakers, on national radio! OH FUCK YEAH!!!
I ran around the flat turning all the radio's on, like a school kid who's OD'd on Sunny D...
Now I've heard British Summertime hundreds and hundreds of times - but listening to it over the cackle of radio static was absolutely magical - and there was no one around to hear it with me at 12:35 am on a Wednesday morning.
So our moment of fleeting national fame flittered by and even the rest of the band weren't up to enjoy it. And all I have left to prove it is a chewed up cassette and flashbacks of a 25 year old regressing back to infanthood.
