Day 2. Song two

03. January 2013 Writing 0
Of course. Song 2 was a good one for Blur. Perhaps it runs in the family cause song two was involved far less self loathing than song one. Still needs final lyrics and perhaps i could pimp the bass a bit further. Speaking of pimps. I ran in to these guys again last week. Love ...

Fail. That was my original post at midnight of day one. Turns out on day three, at breakfast, i realise there’s something to this song. It’ll be finished by end of week… Anyway, what are we doing here? Well, the Furs tour for new year was canceled. Its been a few years since i really ...

Some new music

Here’s a new place where i’m storing ideas and sketches that won’t fit in to Kings & Queens, Whatever’s Next or the Psychedelic Furs box. I’ll be constantly adding things here. Hope you enjoy. Bandcamp or Facebook

Day Thirteen: Manchester (Off)

Here again, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Its been since May 2009 that i really got to play with the Furs. It was here at Starr Ridge Studios. Today I’m back today for some listening and playing… I’ve had a hell of a month. It’s good to see the brothers again. Dinner and ...

Day 34: San Antonio, TX (off)

Bit of a restless bus sleep; burning smells causing stops, rain, waking up with the laptop on top of me, more stops etc… Its good to get to a hotel by 11am. Back in San Antonio after 13 years. I left this place in a bit of a mess last time. Its a great little ...

Final notes

Final notes, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. We’re mixing. Final notes have been made. And its time to commit. Admittedly, this process has been almost a little to hurried because of time/financial constraints but at some point you have to just let things go and accept that perhaps no-one else will hear that ...

Day 39: Home

Leaving Philadelphia, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Currently sitting in traffic somewhere in upstate NY. In a mere thirteen hours I’ll be back home… *** After the goodbyes the day is spent dealing with delays, missed stand-bys, $9 dollar sandwiches, rain, overweight luggage and general busy-ness of airports. Only on the second flight ...
