Greetings Pagan friends on this longest day of the year. Greetings to non-pagan friends for that matter. I don't care much these days. Each to their own. Chris Evans has got me off to a good humoured start by playing great long songs on his radio show this morning. Stairway to Heaven, American Pie, Won't Get Fooled Again, Hotel California... man, the hits just keep on coming. Why do songs that you've heard millions of times before still sound great when you hear them on the radio? It's odd listening to all of these huge seventies monsters back to back. I would comment on it but I don't want to come over like one of those 'people used to write proper songs back then'. But let's face it - people used to write proper songs back then. Music for music sake rather than music for fame sake. I'm here to tell you, you can't listen to fame on your ipod. We should be hanging our heads in shame that we let it get so freaking lame - but you get what you pay for.

Work continues on The Ballad of the Goat Faced Boy. Biggest of my troubles is deciding whether Goat Faced should be hyphenated or not, so as my mother would say, if that's all you've got to worry about, life must be pretty good. Still, it's a valid concern that I'll probably be chewing at all day at the back of my mind. I guess I had better create a page for it somewhere on the site here. That's the problem with not stuffing yourself into a genre hole in your work - you need a lot of tabs on your site for people to find what they're after - but again, as my mother would say...

My mother also used to say "shouldn't you be doing something else right now?" At this moment in time, she would be bang on the money...

Currently listening to: DAD - Help Yourselfish & Smashing Pumpkins - Oceania.
