Through the help of my own personal technical support and reality administor – Ruaidhri Mannion, i have now equipped my computer with various “useful” programs. As well as this, the corner of my room which holds the aforementioned mysterious internet-housing machine now has some company, with a multi-track recorder and the PODXT Live (heavenly creature that it is). This beautiful little corner of my room has now become known as “Skynet”, as i’m fairly confident it will try and terminate me in the near future.

As the least technically minded of the TSE bunch, i’m finding it all pretty exciting… Who knows next i might even discover what “lol” means! These life changes that i’ve made (melodramatic i know) are all to make sending material back and forth easier… and it also means i dont have to run down and annoy Cav anytime i want to record 2 notes with a bit of delay on them (i’m a simple man with simple pleasures!)

So apart from me finally caving in and joining the 21st century there is also the awesome news of TSE’s interview with Edwin McFee in Hotpress Magazine. I, of course, advise everyone to go and buy a copy as the article is great and as an added bonus there is a lovely wee picture of myself, Cav and Ruaidhri looking very moody and so cool you’d be forgiven if you got frostbite from standing too close (some results may differ.) It’s unfortunate that we don’t have a photo of the four of us yet… especially because Chris adds that more sophitcated level of devilish handsomeness that we previously lacked, but this will soon be rectified.

Right well i’ve probably said enough… my brain is having trouble funtioning now so either skynet has begun it’s attack or i should go to bed.
