parva doodles on XRP...

word up y'all!!

i hope the world is good with you...

unfortunately i didn't win the band vs. band feature on Gashouse Radio, which was a bit of a bummer, but i quite enjoyed listening to Only the Good and we definitely had some fun in the chat-room...

i did however pick up enough votes to get my tracks into rotation... so maximum thanks to everyone who voted bwoi!! dustin was well up for me sending some new tracks in too, so don't be surprised if you hear more fatbwoi over at http://www.gashouseradio.com 8)

'the patient' was played out on sunday night, in-between RHCP and artist of the week Boog - happy time

right about there, it got a bit freaky-deeky (in a good way)...

because at exactly the same time, it was playing out on XRP Radio too...

and i gotta give big props, love and thanks to those cats over at XRP for their constant support... they've been playing fatbwoi tracks since the release of 'Relentless', and on sunday they played out all of 'Parva Doodles'... hell yes

and dj tizzy, for one, especially seemed to dig it... dog food went down surprisingly well, there was a studio based rendition of the chorus after it had finished, and some crazy ideas for a video...

have to see how that one develops, but i'll tell you one thing for sure...

i'm keeping my clothes on this time!!

but seriously, i'm extremely happy with the way that 'parva doodles' has been recieved... there's been a lot of positive feedback across the board. i never expected it, given its roots as a studio 'doodle'...

thanks

gonna go and watch some near-naked-pleasure-future type sci-fi now, and talk to dudley (still not my cat) about that cat-fart type smell emanating from his general direction...

peace-out y'all 8)

not getting eaten by bears...

following the whole 'Bullet' experience, i think its safe to say that i don't always have the best time of it when it comes to woodland... (but really... how the hell does a mermaid get up in a tree anyway?!)

but i'm aware that this is my dysfunction, and as such have been taking steps to tackle it...

one such step was the scheduling of a photo-shoot with the lovely jo masey, in that most dreaded of locations... nature.

my mission, was simply not to get dive-bombed by a mermaid...

one of the key differences between this and the bullet video being that this time i was dressed... the other, and probably most important was that this time i was armed... i had a guitar! this simple fact opens up two interesting possibilities in the event of mermaid/fantastical creature attack...

1. i could sing at them, hope that the dig the thang-shaking thing (it being a new sound completely unheard in their natural realm) and that i can distract them long enough for something shiny/not me to appear and catch their attention

2. use it as a club... although i love my guitar, so this is very unlikely... i could wield it and make like an angry gaz from supergrass (so i've been told) in the hope that they go away... 

did i feel less 'safe' when my guitar was out of reach?

uhm, yeah... slightly

did i stop me from resting my ass up against a tree and getting down with some nature groove?!

hell no...

i was like [to the guitar] "you sit hear a sec while i space me out some jazzy beats..."

and there was this definite kind of jazz thing going down... well that, and a slightly disturbing feeling of unsure footing... that'll be the logs, and the chips, and the foiliage...

all in it was a lot of fun, you can view the full album via the magic of bookface, here...

and just in case you're wondering what in the devil this mermaids and fantastical creatures business i keep going on about is, well, here's a lil' reminder...

if you go down to the woods today...

peace-out y'all 8)
