The Widowmaker - new album song titles.





Right, this is an absolute exclusive. Here are the song titles for the new Widowmaker album, due for release in 2011.

These are NOT in the order they will appear on the album:

All This Time

The Number Seven

Things

Go Quietly

Brokenheartedness

Tell Me To Stay

I Better Put You Down

Two Pence Piece

Leave It Out

The Wolf

26 Palms

So there you have it :)

Landlords/Ladies.

Why do I pay £350 per month rent when I don't even get supplied central heating and when I have the audacity to ask my landlady about it, she replys 'you'll have to call the gas board'.

Errrrm:

Dear Wicked Witch of the West,

Despite your actions to try to get me to call, I feel it encumbered upon me to remind you of your duties, considering you receive well over £1200 per month in rent from this house. A 4 minute phone call to the gas board shouldn't be out of the question.

Failing that, it is also a 5 minute ride on your broom.

Regards
Your loving tenant.

The Tallest Man on Earth

...was amazing by the way. A review and pics to follow, but here's a sneak preview.

Gosh I'm so good to you people.

And...breathe.

In an effort to remain calm, I've been attempting breathing exercises throughout the day. However this genius plan was scuppered yesterday when I woke up with what can only be described as a 'stinking cold'. This subsequently moved to my chest and now I can barely breathe. My poor young (27 years old is still young for these little fellas) sinuses are packed with bug, and said bug is making my stress-relieving exercises redundant!!

Of course, I don't actually do breathing exercises, but if I did then i'd be screwed.

Things are rather hectic for me currently. I have what seems like an ever-growing and evolving amount of university work hanging over my head, ready to drop at any given second. With that, I am working at The Sound on mondays, and also writing songs with Dan for the new Widowmaker album (title yet to be decided).

Dan and I are also discussing ideas for new promo shots. I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Alas, I jest of course. I came up with the idea of something along the lines of this, to which Dan agreed:

Obviously with our instruments. But I love how the subjects in those pics always look shocked or scared and the glazed look their eyes have. So maybe something like that, with our instruments (banjo and boots included) surrounding us.

Who knows.

Also, did anyone hear about MC Hammer making a comeback? These new dinosaur comebacks are really getting out of hand:

There is still hope for me yet.
