Up early to head down to Mill Road to record a radio interview, which will go out 'live' on Friday (when actually I'll either be seeing parents, getting a haircut, or driving to Edinburgh). Another nice interview, this time with the lovely Leigh. The film is getting a lot of attention at the moment, people prefer to talk about that more than Edinburgh. I'm happy to go along with it.
I'm really annoying though, sometimes, I totally get that. Like not giving Matt, the poor flyer designer, enough time to design the fringe stuff. I've known I'm doing these shows for a long time, why did I leave it so late to get the info to him? (basically last week) I think it's because I took my foot off the gas a little, thinking maybe with the stuff that's happening with dad that I won't be doing the fringe after all, but I am now. Anyway, Matt ran out of time, which is understandable, and I got myself all stressed because without flyers you don't have a show. Jules stepped in and bashed out something simple for me - I owe her beer, lots of beer, what a kind and talented lady who happened to have an evening free to help out this writer in distress.
'Stressed to Kill' - that's a future album title, or something.
Worked really hard today, which I appreciate should be the norm, but it was 'proper' work, whilst listening to the 'Make or Break...' show on repeat. Those lines aren't sinking in, bugger.
Performed 'Inadequate Man' around Steve and Claire's house; nice audience. Performance was okay, more than okay - it was polished, but I was on auto-pilot a bit at times, not sure if anyone noticed. There's a lot in my head at the moment - Inadequate Man feels really strong, it's cemented nicely, but could do with a little more life at times.
Got back, Edd has been rehearsing like crazy for tomorrow's show, and has now told me that he can play it after all. What a legend - he's worked so hard tonight on the songs, I'm flattered. I'm still not sure who's in the band tomorrow, but I think we might just get away with it.
