We got the mastered songs back which sound great! Thanks Rueban! Rueben or Rueban? He's a Fence Collective man i'm pretty sure. I've seen him kicking around with James Yorkston outside the Co-Op throwing stones at Coke cans and swearing at old ladies.
Watched 'School Of Saatchi' on TV, terrible. Reminded me of being at Uni doing fine art. Really made me feel ill. It needed to be MORE like X-factor in my opinion. It was neither clever or dumb, it sat right in the middle. Watched my 1st 'I'm a Celebrity' of the series on ITV2. They were trying to have a serious discussion about Jordan's exit. we really needed Paxman in the jungle!

Loads of stuff from last night's dream came true today (including bloody badger guts all over my legs). I seriously believe i can see into the future through my dreams. Can't do Lotto though. Went to an 80 year old's birthday party. I ate 3 puddings and cheese and biscuits, i am now soo fat i have no neck. "Two!! two!! three!! one!! two!!" Ahh i only needed two more barley to win. We played a odd game called 'Pit' that i've never come across before. Basically it's just loads of people shouting numbers at each other and it's LOADS OF FUN! "THREE!! FOUR! ONE!!! PIT!!!"
Soundtrack
Collings & Herrin podcast 91.

OLO songs...done! OLO artwork....done! ALL GOOD, ALL GOOD BABY!! Can't wait for this to come out now!! News on that soon.
Went to Hertford for a night out to celebrate (the above) with a mate. We watched the football and saw a ropey pub band who loved dry ice, TV theme tunes, and guitar solos just a bit too much. We tore up Dominos Pizza! They called the cops on us so we ran out, popped on our half shells and climbed down into the sewers with Splinter and the rest of the gang. Then we watched the final Jedward performance. From this point onwards i'm now OFFICIALLY AGAINST Jedward now they are out and not the underdogs anymore.

A very nice sunny day in Bunto so i went for a drive then later ate a Mars bar. 2 Mars bars in fact! Got called a 'egocentric psychopath' on Facebook. Watched the new Beyonce video with Gaga. Gaga looks more weird than normal cos she actually looks normal! Beyonce is still a big lady. Felt a bit down in the dumps about myself and so on (boring) then just as i was beginning to feel better and began climbing my way out of the pit of doom i found a Hollyoaks hunks calendar on top of my wardrobe..oh jeeez!! "put those six packs away boys before i cut my wrists!"...or i 'll cut you! ahhh, i stumbled across an idea! I turned to Tony Hutchinson and took the scissors to his muscles and began to cut circles. These circles would go on to form part of the artwork for the new OLO songs. Waste not want not, or..waist not want not? Only OLO's will get that bad joke. The song is about kinda about men's weight issues so it worked out perfectly in the end. The calendar was meant to be found on this day at that precise moment. Thanks God! I worked out who the calendar belonged to. She thought she had moved all her stuff out the room...how could you forget Tony! Later i had a random thought 9from God?) to shave my head. I stuck a thing up on Facebook to let friends vote if i should or not and of course they voted YES. I was gonna give it a go myself but my Mum came to the rescue and did a decent job until near the end where she thought she'd leave her mark by digging the clippers in giving me a comedy bald patch. Nice. I stuck some gel in and styled a Jedward for the evening. There was a time when i cared about my hair, that time has gone. I ended up using my freshly cut hair in the artwork too. I glued it to the photocopies of my feet to make hairy feet.

The big news story on Saturday 14th November 2009 was that Bruce Forsyth had the flu.
I'll just leave a gap there.
I'll just leave a gap there.
I had a pretty scary drive to Bristol in my Grandad's car in the wind and rain. I had an iced bun on the passenger seat to keep me safe though. Bought a new phone to replace my old one that's now decided to not show me what's on it's screen. I bought the cheapest piece of crap i could, which turned out to be the crappiest piece of cheap. I hate it! *MASSIVE Christmas hint* I'd love an iphone. I FINALLY collected the last of my Bristol belongings (known as 'crap corner' even now when there is no corner. Even now all the stuff is here in the house, in the loft it's still 'crap corner'). I was amazed how i managed to squeeze everything into the tiny car boot. I even got my old Subbuteo astro pitch in there! I really enjoyed driving round Bristol at night with all the Christmas lights up and all the Saturday night tarts stumbling about. I had the amazing new Hyperdub '5' comp & Hudson Mohawke album on full whack. It was COSMIC! like the film 'Tron'..."all because of cosmic driiiiiver!". Fish & Chip supper and X-Factor in the evening (i'm soo normal!). Found a DIME BAR! Hav'nt had a Dime Bar in years! yeah i remember why now.
Sunday was to be the last day of recording for the new OLO songs (news on those songs will be posted later in the week). It was the first day in our brilliant new practice room. Had a great time and we made big steps towards finishing the two songs. We started at 8am and did'nt finish til 6pm, then we moved onto The Crystal Maze (my old flat) where we continued til 1am with just a short break for a Domino's Pizza & few tins of Stella. It's quite a stressful task this music game. Highlight of the day was when we all recorded our 'Sister Act 2' style backing vocal.."SWAMP THING!!!!!".

OLO DIARY (Nov Part 1)

We got Google Wave. We surfed it. We WIPED OUT!! Arrrrrrggghhhhh!!! 'Back From England' is all about balance. We're all trying to stay on the same board while the sharks nip at our toes. We're nearly home and dry (on the warm sandy beach). Will be finished next week as will 'The Elastic Waste Band' which has been cut from 8mins to 5mins. Its the LOW FAT edit. The creamy full fat version will be on the album. Just sent some info on the new songs to a man who is gonna pop it in a magazine. We might have a new den to hang out in soon.
Regards,
OLO Worms

That gap represents my mind during the hours 7am > 7pm. Halloween really took it out of me. Spent most of the day asleep in a parked car while the rest of my family did their best to try and sell their goods. We were at an art market thing near where Noel Edmonds records his box game. Do you like the box game? I used to. I saw it recently and i wanted to smash the TV with little Noel inside. My postcards and T-shirts got in the way of everyone so they got taken down, ha! Good job really as i was up against a pro T-shirt seller directly opposite our stall. I had 1 design, he had about 50! 50 to 1. If i'd been in a bookies i would have had a couple of quid on me scoring first and him winning 20-1. I had a few vistors pop there heads in the car and scare me which was nice. I was really white and ill and kept dreaming i was in the market fussing about. Earlier in the day i finally cleared all my junk from 'crap corner' from the old flat i used to live in and took it over to another friend's house who now has got her very own crap corner. In fact she's got a whole room of crap! It's pretty impressive. On the drive home to Bunto we listened to 3 hours of Tony Hancock which was great! I really like Hancock, ever since my Grandad introduced me to his TV shows when i was young. My Tony Hancock sad face melted all over my pillow.
