North For The Winter

So, tracking is done, we’ve got rough mixes, it all sounds rather awesome… but I would say that. Jim and I are now locked in a small room sorting the final mixes, tomorrow we’ll be mastering. If you’re lucky we’ll post some teaser clips as a Christmas present.

I’d like to take the opportunity here to properly introduce Hannah, our new (ish) vocalist. Over the summer we had a bit of a fall out with Chazz*, the short story is that we weren’t clicking as a band; the longer story isn’t suitable for our younger readers. So the super-wicked-awesome Hannah offered to step in and yelp for us. We didn’t really know at the time quite how talented she actually is. She brings with her a bucket load of enthusiasm, the lungs of a free-diver and 1337 violin skills that would make Steven Segal** cry. I’d totally post a picture of her here, but she’d probably get a bit pissy, so here’s a picture of Gary Coleman instead:

She doesn’t look exactly like Gary, but it’s close enough as far as I’m concerned.

Jim and I are heading back to the mainland tomorrow. It’s been a nice 7 degrees here this week, where as back in Hampshire everyone has been snowed in. We spent yesterday on the beach (true story). Jim isn’t looking forward to going home though; he’ll have to leave behind his newly found companion. Who knew that a pyrex jug from the Isle of Wight could capture the heart of an upper middle class Berkshire blue-blood:

The thought of leaving the jug behind reduced jim to a canine like state:

As penance for posting that pic I’ve been told that I have to post a real pic of our loverly Hanners… Sorry!

* Hi there if you’re reading, I know how you like to keep up to date with your favourite people!

** This is not of course possible as he has no tear-ducts.

xmoose cheer to all.
