Another Seaweed Surfshop day today, which to be frank is the only reason I have found time to post. So, don’t mind me. I am only loitering around this site. Lots have been happening in life outside of the realms of cyberspace. Work is about to reach it’s climax this weekend, being the bank holiday and what with hollow promises of sunshine from nothing more than educated guessers, I’m expecting to be kept busy. Also, people from all walks of life are moving and leaving. Caffs, a founding member of musical endeavour in Hand & Face, who plays drums in Marshal Plan is moving to London’s home counties in less than a week, so Liz and Dan, good luck with all you do.

This doesn’t put the kibosh on Marshal Plan necessarily. I’ve been busy than ever producing tracks on my own and I’ve ordered some more bedroom equipment to add some progression to the homemade recordings. But, it may mean that I start writing under a new name from now on. I have a few ideas in my head about different projects and have registered a few new bands to the Hand & Face roster, all which of which will become visible once I finally have some audio to upload.

I want to do some kind of jazz project in the future but that seems way off now and I’m really liking both the electronic/downtempo vibes, as well as the guitar-bass-drums combos that I’m getting out at the moment

I’m having real success at my shuffle today. I forgot to make a playlist but I wasn’t in the mood for single albums (why is it when no one is around, your shuffle is amazing??) so I just pressed the button and today we’ve had:
