A little lost.

I need to head west and get some sand in-between my toes before the seasons change. I need to look out on water that that shimmers in the summer sun and goes further than the eye can see before the sky is cobalt at 3pm with a sea to match.

 The city is starting to wear me down like a weight on my shoulders I can't shift and I think this feeling has a lot to do with not making music. I have this feeling of being adrift without Incrediboy & The Forget Me Nots as we had 18 months of making something fun and quite often beautiful.

But times change, there are things brewing and directions to be chosen and decisions to be made so watch this space for something new.

No, Girvan in rainy July is no good for paddling around. GIANT jellyfish aside it was a fairly miserable day however just being by the sea calmed me. I could do with some sea today!

How do you tell people that the most loved 'club' night in Glasgow is ending? How do you tell people that the place they feel most at home with the music they love, the people and dancing is to be no more? Well, you start with the most heartfelt letter I have read in a very long time. Here it is in full: Hi It is Monday evening as I write, I'm typing this in my old bedroom in Kilwinning . I came down here to write because I thought I would find it easier. I got the train at 6; I read the Evening Times, nothing doing, I walked from the station, through the town... the first day of the school holidays today, wee guys hiding under the bridges at the river, voices rattling like carrier bags, someone calling me "mister", up the long road to Corsehill and it starts to rain only it's warm out and it smells like summer, and the kids up in Corsehill are still in their shorts and t-shirts. You can see the horizon when you get to the top of the hill and the sky stretch

The best presents I have had all year are CDs brought home to Scotland from Austin, Texas. There are 4 bands that I want to mention but Austin has a lot more to offer. I am not going to write any reviews, make what you will of the bands but I hope you at least tap your feet! I can imagine listening to Hollywood Gossip with driving up the west coast of Scotland on a sunny day and bah-bahing along or while dancing in the heat of National Pop League in June. Perfect indie-pop for the lazy days of summer. http://www.myspace.com/hollywoodgossipband Mary Jo by Brazos is a song that I just can't get out of my head at the moment. I'd love to listen to this song on a PA in a really big hall just to hear the echos of it. Have a wee listen. http://www.myspace.com/brazosbrazos http://www.brazosbrazos.com/ Voxtrot songs are made for indie discos in small darkened halls, listen to them turned up to 11. Go on....you know you want to....... http://www.myspace.com/voxtrot http://www.voxtrot.n

Alice vs Her Own Body - The Fight Back!

So I now had a clinical diagnosis, this internal war raged on and I was given steroids to reduce the swelling of my liver, get my body under control and immunosuppressants to well, suppress my overactive immune system (I would rather have an overactive imagination than immune system it would be much better but hey, can't get everything you want!). I can take on the world! Oh, okay, maybe not...my knees hurt. Do you remember I spoke about being on steroids before? Well, that was a drop in the ocean compared to 18 months of steroid induced highs and lows and side effects. The highs made me feel like I could take on the world! Come on world, I am up for some mischief! This was frankly bollocks, I wasn't fit to take a trip to the shops some days never mind take on the world. The lows/side effects were feeling like I would never get better, having clearly visible shakes, pain, nausea,  gaining weight and having a moon face however the weirdest was becoming more hirsute.
