The Funky Mute

So our time in Bologna is coming to a close... who knows where next.  Woke up at 5am yesterday morning, Thursday 17th, and so spent the first few hours of the morning doing some web stuff, sorting out things on our youtube videos and the website.

The afternoon was spent practising and singing.  Sleep is all over the place at the moment.  The reason I woke at 5am was because I'd fell into a "gone" state around about tea-time and was zonked out on the couch before managing to get to bed at 10.30pm - early for me.  Kate had been "gone" just before it hit me.  Its like you come over all sleepy and have to stop what you're doing and its kind of like a nap but you don't fall asleep, you are almost comatose but somehow still aware of what is happening around you.  Its like the energy demands that the body shut down for a period... I don't know what happens... it can last from a few mins to several hours.


We spent the night doing more work on youtube, soundcloud and the website.  We have hardly recorded a thing during our time in this apartment but that was what we intended so it is all good in that sense.  We did manage to record vocals for "Karl-Marx-Allee" during the week between Christmas and New Year, and also a new version of "Balcarres Street".  "Karl-Marx" now just needs to be mixed while "Balcarres Street" needs some percussion before it can be mixed.
