...I always write that in new diaries or calenders, and without exception the day it falls on is always one where nothing at all happens.
I'm doing a lot of waiting at the moment, or it feels that way. The album is finished, most factors are decided - artwork, track list etc - so now there's 3 months until its heard. In that time my label and the people they hire, will try and give it a fighting chance; gather up some supporters in the media, organize some live dates to coincide with the release, generally give it something to stand up on. Because sadly, despite the artistic creative bit, this remains a business investment for someone.
So I have time on my hands like gloves, I keep on writing songs but I'm pretty confident that I've already written the second album, maybe even the third one (unless the second is a double album...prog). I'm going to start recording more covers at home, maybe try and put a new one on the myspace page every week. PLEASE SEND SUGGESTIONS. If there's something in particular you'd like to hear me sing, I'll try and make it special.
When is a song better sampled? Right here. 'Walk on by' by Isaac is ok, but Wu Tang make it incredible.

Hi Richard - hope you are well and happy.
ReplyDeleteI've liked many of Marc Almond's songs but never really enjoyed his voice - yours is so much smoother and lovelier. So how about doing a cover of "In My Room" or "Black Heart"? Both are on www.myspace.com/marcandthemambas . I don't know if he wrote these himself. They are both suitably sad. ;-)
Hi Richard
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear cover of INCUBUS song ... 'Warning' or 'Drive'.
Can't wait for the album ;)

Any songs from the album "regeneration" by the Divine Comedy. It would be nice. Yup.
