Back in the studio this week, here’s Glenn, Jim and Richard routining a new song in the control room with MK.

We tend to spend quite a while discussing how we should approach each song at least to start with, ie. what guitars and amps to try and whether Jim or I should man which keyboards, experimenting with different mics etc. We’ve been swapping roles quite a bit on this record.That’s me checking the chart with Mark

Richard’s world, in the midst of trying just about every guitar he owns…and Mark’s. Tuning a ukulele.

the beach (again) It’s been a bit wet and the surf’s been a little big, at least for me – so no surfing so far this week
