jelly dogs, lemon puffs, coffee and cakes in liverpool

Vintage aluminium dog and peas jelly moulds up for auction on ebay!

yep, this week we've had a meeting/outing in liverpool doing a bit of discussion and equipment buying ,before our recording practice at dagg studio southport, our 11th week of recording was pretty good! although we lost 11 of the first songs done to a nasty amount of loud hum from one of the mics being too loud next to an amp.. however we managed to re-capture a song and made a few more up.. after which a good few hours were spent in the kew branch of mcDonalds discussing various sorts of things. new ideas include balancing boxes of biscuits atop the heads to see how that affects things, using snorkels, and bringing jelly with us as a sweet energy boosting snack. perhaps eating the jelly through snorkels would sound interesting... also the idea to use some of jason's writing skillis in the form of short 4 line verse formats to use as song lyric inspiration - we've also discussed the possibility of having small runs of vinyl records done in the future that we can sell individually. Dan is also working on some home made music videos but is struggling with cyberlink software and a slow home PC,, i would like to suggest a video including zippy from rainbow trying to serve chips with his big 3 fingered hands to customers in the birkdale 'rainbow' chippy, would be ideal for the song 'zippy's chippy' im sure this could be possible if we asked them about it. (news just found: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/2147604.stm ) biscuits too are a possibility - there are a few of the new songs up, have a look! http://profile.myspace.com/crunchybiscuits
