Our gig on Friday was cancelled (don't worry, they hadn't heard us in advance) so I'm struggling a bit for news this week. I was going to mention UIC Radio but I notice I did that last week. John has now played 2 of my songs ('Money From The Satisfied' and 'Laura Jones'), so that's really good news.
And I've no gigs this week at all, which is extremely unusual for me. Not that I'm upset about that, it's been so busy that it's very much welcomed. And it should give me time to catch up in the studio and on some other jobs. I try and do at least a short session in the studio every day (except on gig days). This sometimes means a quick half-hour blast when I feel about as creative as a major label A&R man. But it's good discipline to work on, because I can still see that mountain of songs on my piano waiting to be recorded.
If you add in the daily myspace updates (my own and the Paradise Street page), gig bookings, band admin, accounts, web promotion for both projects.....then it soon mounts up. So a free weekend is something to really look forward to. I enjoy gigs, but it is still classed as work.
It can be confusing at times. Last week I saw that I was receiving more 'hits' on my first album page than on any other, and it's the only one I'm not currently promoting! And there's been a recent increase. Maybe I should just do less and see if more happens.
With no gigs this week it will be interesting to see next week's blog topics, any ideas let me know.
