..The other day, in the form of a racket in Jeri's attic. We actually started the whole 'band' thing. And we recorded covers. COVERS!? I know, I even had an idea for a song of our own. But with covers, you can't show them to anyone, upload them to Myspace or anything, coz some PR folk's gunna sue your butt. Maybe it's a good thing no one has heard us yet. When we get better and play to people our own stuff people will be surprised how good we turned out.
Shame we've got quite a long way to go. Jeri's got a few timing issues to sort out, whilst I'm not too sure about my voice. When we played it back after recording my voice didn't sound like what it does in my head and I didn't like it. Anyways we had fun. Jeri's attic is like our own studio, it's fabuloso. She's got a gazillion guitars, keyboards and drums, not to forget the little MacBook where we can record things on.
More recently we made sad noises. Yesterday we cried. My nan, who I knew had 3 types of cancer, seemed to be getting worse and falling asleep lots. My mum came off the phone when I got home and she had been called for the hospice that cares for my nan. Mum told me that nanny only has a few days to live. About an hour later we got a lift in with my aunt and my cousin to see her, for me possibly the last time. She looked so poorly, so pale and tired and small in the bed that grampy had moved downstairs to the living room. She didn't say much and occasionally kept drifting off. Sometimes I could feel the tears collecting in my eyes but I had to swallow them back and put on a brave face, I didn't want her to see me sad. I couldn't bring myself to do that at the end. It was so so horrible saying goodbye when we left coz I knew that when I see her again she'll probably be in a coffin.
On Thursday I'll be watching other people make noises. I'm going to see Air Traffic, who finally after request after request are playing at the Lemon Grove, the student's union at Exeter University. The Wallbirds and Team Waterpolo are supporting. Should be a good night, hopefully.
