Now then Mr Fantastic, I do believe that someone has a birthday today. Could it be your good self? I think it is. Hooray!!!! Time to open a bottle of champagne and a bag of salted peanuts. Let’s jump up and down and issue primal screams. Run in circles and pat a hairy dog. Time […]
“Try it again Nelson, but this time try singing in tune and with more feeling.”
“I’m trying Nap, I just can’t get into it until I’ve had a drink.”
“You know it isn’t Miller time until four o’clock Nel, so just try your best.”
“This corset isn’t helping either, I can’t get a proper breath.”
“Loosen it up Nel […]
Readers of Jo Beaufoix’s brilliant blog will have seen her post yesterday. She wrote a rather emotional and heartfelt piece about Napoleon and the positive life-changing effect he has on people. I have to agree with her wholeheartedly (apart from the handsome bit). It was Napoleon who persuaded me to begin blogging and resurrect my […]
I’m going to cheat now and quote Napoleon’s brilliant blog - I am a bit drunk though xx:
“I have just uploaded a few rough mixes of some of the new songs then Nelson and I have been working on. Go to the Nelson Galaxy myspace site and have a listen.
“I hope you like what you […]
I love going to stay at Napoleon’s. It is such a brilliant contrast to that London. It’s peaceful and calm. You can walk down the street without having people constantly getting in your way or hassling you for money and fags or even trying to stab you. I know Napoleon is a little bored of […]
Well, hello there. Happy New Year.
I am back following an extensive couple of weeks recording in Napoleon’s studio. We are going to come up with a cracking album. I really enjoyed my time with Nap, sleeping in the studio with a bottle of vodka for company and various country walks, taking in sheep and small […]
It is a rather bizarre experience for someone of my sartorial extremes to spend a week in a tiny Derbyshire village. It is a small community where everyone knows each other and will discuss deeply personal and medical matters openly in the street. I don’t think it would be too over the top to suggest […]
Yep, it’s me again.
After all this time I am back. I have been very busy in the recording studio. Napoleon and myself have been working on my new album (possibly titled ‘Idiot Fever’). We worked exceptionally hard, laying down my guitar and some vocals. I have had a chest infection so my voice didn’t hold […]
Later today I will be off to the darkest, deepest reaches of Derbyshire, to enter the top class and brilliant recording studio of one of the UK’s best producer/sound engineers; one Napoleon Fantastic. However, before I get there I have the indignity of travelling on the National Express coach. This is always nothing less than […]
I’m right on the cusp of laying down some mean, beefy, shouty, punky, new ravy davy vocals and the worst thing imaginable has happened. No, my trousers have not exploded. I have a cold. It has become a rather vicious little virus and is now in full attack mode. Mucus has begun to seep out […]
