Catholic Guilt

Dear all fellow breakers of new year’s resolutions, and keepers of promises made in post Christmas hue, alike.

Forgive me father for I have sinned, it has been 2 weeks since my last blog entry. That’s it really father. Apart from that I’ve been very good save one or two late nights and a few impure thoughts.

You see recently I have been working with various artists on their records and songs, and trying to find a moment to write songs for me, from me, about me (it’s a narcissistic business this songwriter stuff - more about me) has proven to be more than I can chew, at least with one bite.

I promise, if you accept, that I will try to write to you here more often.

I will fill you in on the projects I’ve been involved in along the way. I am lucky that my job still puts me in a studio and that I still get to make music, even if the light shines slightly off to my side these days. All the ones and zeros that fly through the wires around my body can’t all be there to tell my story. There are other, very beautiful, gripping and important stories I have been privileged enough to have been asked to help tell too. You will know them by the sound of their music.

I am enjoying the new site and all it’s little children (myspace, iLike, reverbnation, facebook) and I am so happy that you have chosen to spend time here. Maise and I have been working away under the hood (mostly Maise of course) and tweaking the pistons of our newly formed engine. I hope you like it and will visit often to oil and fuel it’s pumping arms.

In case you’re wondering, the songs I’ve put up are some writing demos I have recorded, very roughly, over the past while and I’ll keep throwing new ones at you if you so wish. I am hoping to record an EP over the next few months and I’ll keep you posted on that as the plan grows into a boy ready for his first day at school.

For now, I’m off to eat chocolate, stay up too late, smoke, and not exercise.

Love to you all,
Jx
