Monday 19th August

There are days when I don’t really have anything to write about and today was one of them. Nothing of any real note happened today, as I have been hard at work in my office attempting to finish the final three episodes of Steve’s LP Box and going through my ever-mounting email inbox. There’s a huge amount of new music to get through which was a nice accompaniment to my work. The thing about The Sunday Alternative is that I can welcome all music (all good music that is), and not have to reject people simply because they aren’t from Nottingham.

I have to re-read all of my biographies of David Bowie for the next edition of Moonage Daydream, (it’s a hard job but somebody has to do it), the next one will be immediately after The 1980 Floor Show and in the run up to Pin Ups. There’s the possibility of Jean Genie making a bit of a comeback to do a few editions, which might be interesting although I hope that she can do them faster than I can.

My brother was interviewed on BBC Tees this afternoon about his book, which reminded me that although I have recorded the prologue of his book as an audio book, I hadn’t sent him the file for his approval. I emailed that to him and decided to turn the computer off and watch The Simpsons instead. I’m working far too hard at the moment, with no regard for the time of day. It isn’t in my work ethic to simply do nine until five and knock off, and at times like this when I have something to finish I get worse, working into the late hours and usually seeing daylight before I fall exhausted into bed.
