I’m back in Winchester for a 24 hour break from recording. The main point of this post is to say that part 3 of the Europe Diary is now up and running, so go check it out. There are two more installments to go, which will be up when I’ve had the time to write them. Meantime, in Oxford, we’ve finished all the drums for the album, and all the acoustic guitar parts too. Next week we’ll be finishing bass, starting vocals, bringing in cellists and so on. Progress continues to be speedy. I’ve also been plugging the gaps on the Automatic tour with other shows, so cast your eye over the gigs page to see if I’m coming anywhere near you anytime soon. And finally, Ben MD has set up a Kneejerk myspace page, if you care.

I saw Emily Barker play the other day, and she was thoroughly excellent.
