Hello all. More silence. Sorry! Just finished a period of assembling eight demos to play to the guys, which took up a lot of spare time. Finally got to do this last night, and got a good reaction. We may start looking at some of them soon.

It's always a strange occasion. Something like that, something you create, becomes very personal, and so you're very nervous. This manifested itself in me asking everyone if they wanted heating turned up, and when they said they felt fine, I realised my feeling cold was probably nerves.

The silences at the end of a demo mean a lot, usually, I think, that people didn't really go for a particular track! I say that because the ones where they do, it tends to happen in one of three ways:

1. Mayes starts talking about it at the end of the demo
2. Bean starts talking about it DURING the demo
3. Captain can be heard working out what drum line he'd like to add to it

I don't, historically, have a good record of knowing which of my songs the band or the public are going to like most. Odd. Ones I think are ace people think are fine, but not as good as others I didn't rate so much!

Love to all,

James
