a) an inflatable FP to sit at my desk and make it look like I'm awake and alert.
b) a nap.

I am EXTRA SPECIAL EXCITED!!! because I've just confirmed that the special mystery harmony singer at the gig on the 3rd March will be SANDE FROM THE MEMORY MACHINE!!! Still trying to hammer out details, but she's up for it.
So looks like the line-up will be:
-K8 on laptop and guitar and vocals-Frances "Doom" Morgan on synths and drones-Sande on vocals
Are you sure you won't be joining us on some drone Mandolin, then, Ed?

Ed, you can just be mic-ed. If you are feeling insecure about your playing, then just move away from the mic. Honestly, all my songs are based on drones. No more than two chords on any of them. It is not hard.

With all the changes in personnel, ppl from other bands etc, you should prepare a Pete Frame-style Rock Family Tree!

So, basically, the only notes you really need are D and G and occasionally A.
And people say I'm not drone.

I need to get a new chorus pedal. I've tried asking on TSM board but they're not being very helpful. I suppose I might just end up with some crappy Boss chorus just coz I have the ultimate power supply. I've decided that Chorus is urgent and key for all shoegazing.

This afternoon I'm getting this idiot who couldn't even brief me properly about whether he wanted to examine open cases or closed cases (a £10 million difference there) - finally after telling me he wanted to look at open cases, not closed ones, I make the report - but he's still LOOKING AT the old report.
::bashes head against desk::
I'm sure that none of this will make sense to anyone else, but basically 1) if people don't tell me what they want, how can I give it to them? 2) LOOK AT THE RIGHT REPORT, DUMMIE!!! and 3) who ya gonna trust? Huh? impartial MI or people who get paid on commission?
Today I wish I hadn't come back to work. Why can't I just quit and live on shoegazing and cartoon drawing? Oh wait, coz I have a mortgage and Tiffany Glass elephant lamps.

Relax and look at some cat pictures, it will do you a world of good. I kept laughing out loud to the point where people were looking at me. But my colleagues know when I'm having a rough day, I look at cat pictures or something.

Honestly, you don't have to play anything complicated! On a lot of this stuff, what it actually needs is the drone note accentuated - not chords, but literally just a drone, the same note in one or two octaves. The Pop melodies move around this note, but don't bother with those - just play the drone note.

haha i think that's what happened on friday night/saturday daytime... i mean, i NEVER sleep that much. 5-7 hours a night usually, tops.
And that physical "ugh" can turn into mental "ugh".
but it was a physical "yay!" i was all twisty and floaty and FAST and it felt good.

True, but I don't have to think so hard about that.
― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 18:09 (seventeen years ago) link
Honestly, Ed, no scales, no chords. Maybe very limited movement in songs like Noyfriend that have a principle chord and a modulation (that is the G to F natural one) but mostly drone.
I chose all the songs for this set because they are songs that have a very strong drone element - a single note that goes through the whole song. Because I wanted Frances to do super-wubbulation on those notes on the Silver Machine.
