Jingle Bells!
Well, as mentioned in an earlier posting, I’ve managed to get that Dag Kolsrud record converted to MP3. Took me about a week, but I’ve finally done it. It wasn’t easy, thanks to the fact my laptop wanted to play around with its sound devices, meaning that it didn’t recognise the signal format given from my record deck. A minor annoyance, and one I never experienced with XP in any way, shape or form.
Anyway, onto the record itself. If “synthtastic” isn’t a word, it really should be. The backing track really could have been taken from an unreleased “One 2 Many” track, with the same synthy drums, bass and “trumpets”. The version I have is mostly instrumental, with different sections of xmas songs thrown in for good measure. Well, I say good measure, it all seems a little haphazard, not quite sure whether it wants to be a generic “pop” song, or an even more generic “xmas” number.
It’s not bad, but I doubt whether I’d give it a second glance, or second play, if it wasn’t One 2 Many related.
In other news, I did continue to trawl fkickr to see if I could find any more pictures of myself.
If you thought the sunburn was bad on the last one, take a look at this…
