The aul' wireless

Hey all


First off. Why is West Wing on telly Orla?! It sucks. Yawn. The aul' wireless is far better than the telly. I just heard John Kelly on Radio RTE 1 saying he's been axed...the best show on RTE Radio. As Paul Woodfull would say..'typical!'
I've been trying to connect another wireless thing to my computer. Arghh. How do I do it? I even went over to Johnny in the macshop and he showed me. I came home full of glee expectant of logging on at my desk...but no. So I have to ring him and he's gonna think I'm a putz.

I'm actually quite handy with my mac G4. I bought it from a guy who'd set it up for music stuff. It has an audiowerk 8 soundcard which I route thru a mackie 12 mixer. I have Cubase SX which I find pretty user friendly. But let's face it...if you want top quality recordings, you got to spend BIG money. But for demos...it works great.

Well. It's been a couple of weeks since the 2 Mexican Pets gigs. I'm amazed we went down so well. We seemed to make an impact. Just for the record, the setlist was

1. Supermarket
2. Magnet Force
3. Mackerel Sky High
4. Stigmata Errata
5. Backpedal
6. Subside
7. If Only Never
8. Where's My Pony?
9. Maccu Piccu
10. Merry Hell
11. How To Have More Fun
12. Used Getting Used.

We got some friends to film the gig in Whelans on the 12th May and it was recorded by Steve Shannon on an 8-track so we will hopefully make a wee film, the product of which I'm sure will be 'downloadable' offa some website the band is connected to...

But you can't beat the aul' wireless all the same.


Evening all
