Rubbing The Lamp

So what’s mixing?

I thought about all you people out there who make records and then I suddenly thought about all you other great readers who don’t make records. This is what mixing a record is:


It’s putting a roof on the house

It’s getting your ducks on a line

It’s straightening the suit and tie.

It’s too late to change anything

It’s pulling focus

It’s completing the jigsaw

It’s landing the plane on the Hudson

It’s rubbing the lamp and hoping the genie appears.

I’ve just seen Ben’s blog and I can’t wait to hear the new Click Five record! I’m going into the studio tomorrow to assist with the mixing of the Farrah record (mostly to make tea for the engineer). I’m really pleased that a last-minute song we wrote called ‘Missed The Boat’ didn’t, er, miss the boat and is going on the album! The crowning moment of the Farrah record so far has to be Mr Ben Romans’ astonishing keyboard solo on the song ‘Heavy Metal’. I giggle every time I hear it. He is one half of ‘Thruster’ our glam-metal side project. We’re looking for a drummer with plenty tattoos, 3 kick drums and a penchant for spandex. We may also need a bass player who has big big hair and looks like a Nordic God and/or Cher.

Hope all is great with you. I’m hoping to get some vlogs from the studio up this week. By the way, all the rest of the band say hi to all you lovely people.
