Thinking out loud

Just came back from my 4km walk. It's about 7.15am Thursday 18 January 2007.
I know this seems silly to be so pedantic about time and dates but I'd like to set the tone for you, also remind myself and check this gismo out.
Came back thinking about the Mandolin I'm looking to buy down here and how I was going to go about learning, playing it and how it would sound on www.bluevalentinemusic.com stuff and finally and most importantly how I would go about singing at the same time as playing it.
Also gave some thought to impending releases on the Figtree label.
After reading a review of some Lime Spiders stuff going back to when we released virtual double A sides.....Slave Girl/Beyond the fringe.....Out of control/Save my soul, it got me thinking maybe, just maybe Blue Valentine should release an EP first up with the first 4 songs from the mooted, virtually recorded album. This would leave us free to concentrate on those songs, get some product out and take more time over the full album, especially seeing as a fundamental change has come over the whole band with the veering towards more Roots music, additions in personnel and the new songs which are flowing......just thinking out loud. I mean who is ever going to read this????!!!!
