david sent me a link to this printing place in st peters called rizzeria. basically, they use risograph technology to do their printing. which may not mean a whole lot to you younglings, but when i was in infants school, pre-photocopiers, the biggest thrill you could get was to be asked by the teacher to take their handwritten sheet of paper up to the front office so that the ladies there could run it through their riso to make stencils for the whole class. so then you got to watch them load it into the machine and wind the drum around which made duplicates in wonderful purple ink. if it was really your lucky day, the office ladies might even let you go over and wind the machine yourself. but i digress...
risograph technology, i have just found out, has not actually died out, but has developed alongside photocopiers, though on a much less ubiquitous scale. and it's these new machines that the rizzeria seems to be running with. none-the-less, it is a very economical option for us, and offers up some interesting creative options and so david's design for the album packaging is going to be aimed at using it.
one thing i need in the next few days is lyrics for all the tracks on the album. the ones i've written i can do (of course) but the lyrics the rest of you have written, could you please type them up, proof read them and send them to me so i can compile them all together and send to david? also, anything you would like to have included in the liner notes - credits etc, please send them to me as well.
the last question that has come to me is whether the album should be called 'love on the second stair' or 'love on the 2nd stair'? i don't really have a preference myself, but i think its probably important to resolve it.

I object to '2nd', for obvious reasons.
In answer to a question long ago, I'm leaving for India on the 28th or 29th I think.
obvious reasons? not sure i can spot those, but seeing as it's taken from one of your lyrics, that's probably the best way to make the decision.
'love on the second stair' it is!
Adrian I had an incredibly vivid dream last night, consisting of you being very, very cross with me for the entire dream. And the reason why you were cross with me was because I borrowed a little piece of a clock from you, because my clock was missing it and I wanted it to work. Then you started shouting at me, what are you doing just taking that little clock piece without asking etc. etc.
must be some supressed guilt you're hiding for something horrible you've done to me that i haven't actually discovered yet.
i like 'second' better as well
