www.fromthebasement.tv

this site is up now... and luckily they have the facts straight about the songs.. so no beef do i have no more.
so thats alright then.
'videotape' i was very proud of. and it doesnt sound like the version that we are working on now..
which is even better...
they are sketches obviously just me on the piano. check it oot.

We are taking a break now

RMx!
For anyone who has heard The Eraser, there are some remixes coming.

Yes.

I got excited. I've been listening through. I mean. There's some freaky shit.

They may start appearing soon. Gradually. Briefly.
Just a taste. And then gone.

On www.theeraser.net

First there is Surgeon's Rmx of The Clock.
This was the one that made me think, we got to start getting these out.
I was chuffed he wanted to do it as think he is a MASTER.
He has turned it into something really hard. And disco.
Well what i call disco anyhow.
It made me very proud.

I hope it gets played in a club somewhere.
Not that i get out much nowadays.


Peace to us all during the festive season.

week offf
i just got sent two really interesting requesting type letters this week ( a blessed week off from recording)

i get these things A LOT

but i wanted to let you know about these ones

becuase they ring bells in my head.. maybe they might with you..

1. www.StopGlobalWarming.org

Join the Stop Global Warming Virtual March on Washington.. dont know how many of you know about this in the US
but at last the issue seems to be everywhere for you as it is in the UK. the idea of a virtual petition in this instance seems like genius to me.

(i have also just finished george monbiots Heat book about global warming... and even though he's a mate of mine i recommend it as the ideal christmas present. well... that is if you dont mind being called a sourpuss or a scrooge. lots of my mates went to see him give talk at the sheldonian theatre in oxford which was very inspiring. if a little terrifying. but then what can be more terrifying than watching the trees not changing colour when they should. ok perhaps i should get out more.
it aint very rocknroll. but i long since pissed all that bullshit away.)

2. http://oceans.greenpeace.org/en/

supermarket demand for fish ( not that i eat fish or meat ) has meant we are fishing to extinction . what i find particularly offensive are the enormous nets they use that drag everything up and well.... just have a read. supermarkets should be made to source their fish responsibly and governments should act in the intersest of our future to regulate for sustainable fishing. not this mass production/destruction shit. i respect peoples right to eat fish. but evertime i watch the guys in the band sitting down to their whatever it is with scales i quietly wonder how its arrived. and what was destroyed and killed or thrown away to get it....

sermon over. sorry.

we had a good week in the studio last week. finally things are growing.

if you are concerned about climate change
if it scares you speechless and wakes you in the night.
if you are bothered about the flooding you keep seeing.
or those high winds.
or that there is something not quite right about the fact you're still walking round in a Tshirt in october.

please find out about the the big ask campaign
www.thebigask.com

we are hassling all MPs in the uk to write to our glorious leader and get a bill that commits us all to reducing carbon emissions 3percent a year. its a start. it has to be law. otherwise its never going to happen. and it has to.

ahem speech over.
weve started the record properly now. starting to get somewhere i think. finally.

love thom

p.s. if you're american and wondering whether this is a load of old crap look at this flashy website if you have time
