Day 4 - Crap it's cold

The temperature in this country has reached an unacceptably low level. So much so that you don't actually want to go out. Instead I stayed in and thought about all the great ways that we can get to number one at Christmas. I came up with a grand total of one. Hand out some flyers. Brilliant huh?! I am right up there in the promoting hall of fame for that one.

It snowed a bit today and it made me think that we need snow in the video. Not fake snow, real proper snow like in the Last Christmas video. I think flying (or getting the train in my case) to a ski resort may break our budget of approximately £700 for everything (recording, repro, promotion etc.). Still, who needs an excuse to go to a ski resort? Not me, no sir, which is why I am going to one in less than four weeks time, oh yeah! May be if I write the song before then I can film a video out on the slopes, on my own, with goggles on.

Rehearsal in an unheated portacabin should be a hell of a laugh tomorrow. May be it will put everyone in the Christmas song writing mood. More likely it will put everyone in the 'fuck off down the pub' mood (or to bed, we are getting quite old and all). How very rock and roll!

If anyone's watching T4 act unsigned, Hip Parade are going to win. I called the last one and I've called this one. I have a knack you see. Trust me.
