I had a sudden surge of
activity today and recorded four chapters of Whatever
Happened To Nathan McKenzie? without any fuss. I had tried cheating
and recording some of the shorter chapters out of sequence but soon thought
better of it as the story is confusing enough as it is.
I’ve worked out which six
artists I will be covering for The Shoebox Collection,
one of which will be a rather short one as I can’t find any Internet presence
for them beyond a Facebook page with a last status update posted in 2011. Maybe
they’re all in other bands so a little further investigation is required. I
have sent text messages to the two mobile numbers on the CD, but I don’t hold
out much hope for an answer as the discs are from 2010 and it is very unusual
for someone to have the same mobile number for that long.
The
Woolworths Related Documentary (working
title) has had some shape knocked into it, and I’ve put The Record
Store Day Video (working title) on ice in order to prioritise. My
job list for the next two weeks is to get the final draft finished and organise
how many actors I will need and locations to film in. without wanting to give
too much away (although if you’ve been reading the blog since back when it was
published on MySpace you will have some idea of what I’m talking about) it will
give me a chance to work with puppets, something I have wanted to do since I
was a child watching The Muppet Show
and Sesame Street. I was being semi-serious
yesterday about being a Punch and Judy man; it was one of the things I wanted
to do when I was a child. I also wanted to be a radio presenter, a journalist
and a writer and those came true so the omens are good.
