It's probably fair to say that I could do with an injection of glamour into my daily existence at the moment. That, and a reminder that the sun is still up there somewhere. I don't mean Caligula-style decadence or anything. A hot country, a sun-lounger, a tall drink and some decent reading matter would do the trick. For now, the nearest I get to a glam-fix is watching Madmen every Wednesday night.
That said, February, apart from being the coldest month, is also the one when thoughts turn to sunnier prospects, and an end to hibernation-mode seems that bit closer. I even bought a pair of anticipatory flip-flops today from Primark. £1.50 well-spent. There's no harm in being prepared I always say.
On another topic, I've had numerous queries concerning the non-appearance of a new Live at Chéz Sonique set. Apologies music-lovers, but the hold-up is due to a few tech-problems I've been having. One was with my domain-hosting company; their server got hacked and they had to change all the log-in passwords. The email that notified me of this got spam-filtered by AOL (see previous post) so I was offline for a while there when I needn't have been.
Also, most of the tracks I use in the Chéz Sonique broadcasts are digital-transfers from my vinyl collection. The software I use for this went into mutiny mode and caused further hold-ups. Yessir, the machines sure are revolting.
Anyhoo, with a bit of luck I'm now on top of these gremlins so another musical despatch from Chéz Sonique will be with you very soon.
Peace, out.
