Charlie's done a pretty good job of updating you all with recent Arcady news so I won't venture too much in to that. What I will mention is that we've got our hands on the stems for the version of 'Feeling the Glow' that's up on the MySpace and they're available to any of you budding producers who want to have a go at a remix, we're open to anything so just get in touch and let us know if you want them.
Charlie's been getting me into a lot of new music recently, stuff I would never have listened to before. Firstly there is The Cribs new track 'We Were Aborted' which was available to download free from their website for a limited time. It's the first time I've clearly heard Johnny Marr's contribution to the band and while I'm not the biggest Cribs fan it has left me eager to hear the new album, mainly for Marr's contribution though. Then there's Bombay Bicycle Club and their new album 'I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose' which Charlie's already posted about, I'm absolutely loving 'Always Like This.' Also worth a mention are The Temper Trap, an Australian band who I'm not really sure how to describe, click the link and have a listen to 'Sweet Disposition', some really interesting guitar work going on there but it's just a damn good tune!
Also did anyone see John Mayer's version of Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature' at the memorial? If not you have to check this out! A very brave move to not sing, but I think it really shows what great feel and expression he has on the guitar.
Finally, since the most feedback I've ever got from this blog is from when I posted a video of a chimpanzee riding on a segway I thought I'd post another hilarious video but this time one that doesn't exploit animals. Thinking about it, I might make it a weekly thing to stick a funny video up to accompany my posts, not sure what the rest of the band will think of this though, Charlie however has made the fatal mistake of giving me a separate account on this so I can and will post what I want, when I want!
