Tomorrow, Tuesday 5th June 2007, we are going into a little studio in Dundee to record some of our new songs. And mercy me, I can't wait.
Our first lot of recordings as the new and improved Descartes we're reasonably good, but they were the first songs we really ever wrote together, and we hadn't ever played live so didn't have a clue how things would sound. The nerves are there for all to hear.
BUT THIS TIME!!!! Oh this time, we are ready. Been playing a lot recently, learned to sing a bit (well, more a case of realising that we can't sing, so just screaming things out like caged beasts), and generally spent time writing. We are buzzing, and want to shove these new recordings right up the anus of this gasping scene which really needs a good youthful,energetic kick in the nose.
This week I have also gotten into ....And You Will Know Us By Our Trail of Dead, and Battles. Went out on a mad whim after hearing a ...Trail of Dead song on BBC6 music, bought one of their albums for a fiver from fopp. It took a couple of listens to get right into, but now I'm hooked. Bought the Battles album after hearing from many a source that it is the "new sound". I have no idea what to make of it, not even how to listen to it, but boy I enjoy it. Sounds more like a future film soundtrack than a contemporary music album. Wild stuff.
Peace Out sisters.

I love And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead's old stuff.
I remember hearing Mistakes And Regrets on mtv's show Brand:New at about 2am on a school night used to sneakily stay awake to watch the show. Because it was so different and almost felt like a rebel watching it. Cause it was real music that no one else was talking about at the time.
I couldnt believe how good this stuff was that i was hearing.
So yeah id go as far as saying Trail of Dead's track Mistakes and Regrets changed my life.
Showed me theirs more to life than typical radio/tv pop music.
