Luckily, the coach was slightly early getting in to Nottingham, and so I was able to catch a tram home and be home at a reasonable time. Although I have a shit-load of work to get through, I decided to have something to eat and go to bed. I rose at about eleven o'clock this morning, and did a little bit of work in the office. My brother gave me the go ahead to record the audio-book of his novel Whatever Happened To Nathan McKenzie, which I started to do today. To be honest, I have only read half of it, and have had to go back and start again a few times due to the confusing nature of the book. The prologue is recorded, and I'm going to record each chapter as an album track and then put the whole thing on my Bandcamp profile as an album.
This was one of about a million tasks that I have to get through, and today was a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of a day. I managed to make some dents in my ever growing to-do list, and answered several hundred unread emails. At about quarter to six, I suddenly realised that I had a radio show to present at seven o'clock. Not wanting to let the people of Nottingham down, I had a quick shower caught the tram to Bulwell. Our band this week were The Swiines, who played a brilliant set in our ridiculously hot live room. I'd never met them before and I'm pleased to say that they were a great bunch, they were also interested in recording a session for the American show. It was also that time of the month when we welcomed music journalist, (and kicker-offer of the whole 'Nottingham music' shebang) Mike Atkinson to the show. He is always good value and brings such a lot to the show that it's a shame he only turns up in the final hour. With the list of tunes he brings in every month, and his preparation in advance all based on his intricate knowledge of the local music scene, he could quite easily do the show himself. The listeners would have the added bonus of the show being presented properly for a change.
