Jo is...

...sitting at home listening to a recording of one of his own gigs.
...thinking that this is quite possibly very sad.
...thinking that while life has lots of very good things in it at the moment, they're just a little bit too tightly packed for his liking.
...thinking that, despite potential sadness, listening to himself is adding to his determination to rearrange his life a bit and get his musical brain back in gear, fingers and vocal chords back in practice, and get a new song or two penned.

Watch this space, and be expectant. Just perhaps not immediately...

A new gig; a new download

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much to everyone who made it out to last night's gig - was my first in ages, and I had a very nice time. Got a good recording of it too, including the debut performance of new song Hide & Seek/Found You.

The whole show is now available for free download here.

Happy listening!
J

New stuff!

Hey people, new online happenings:

• DLDown has a new Facebook fan page with a proper music player and video capabilities. I'll be using the new one more over the next wee while, and phasing out the old DLDown group. The new page is here - come and be a fan :o)
• New versions of 4 tracks are up now on Myspace and the afore-mentioned new Facebook page. They are Romans 7, Missing, Icarus and new song Lilies & Sparrows. Lyrics can be found, as always, on our lyrics page.

Let me know what you think!

For your alternative listening pleasure...

Here's a couple of great Edinburgh bands I've had the joy of sharing the line-up with over the last wee while. Both have tracks up on their sites which are well worth checking out, or better still go, and catch one of their gigs. Excellent stuff.

The Vacant Tourists
Cancel The Astronauts
