Friday night went over to Stian's. We drank Greyhounds and worked on a track and talked about Funny Games and August Underground and "mounted" women and Glitch and English ballads

I wrote a sea-chanty ballad about a sinking ship in 4 verses...my version on the right and Stian's transcription of the lyrics on the left. Stian made a basic metronome beat and we recorded the song. And then we did a bunch of overdubs of the vocals. Going to finish the track this week. Stian is a fantastic and generous producer. Hopefully we can parlay this into an EP of ballad songs. I'm down as fcuk, Stian seems down as fkuc, we just both need to not be dumb and rally for the goal. That was Friday. It was a good Friday

"talked about Funny Games" - you're talking bout the movie?

I loved that shit. That like 8 minute single shot with the dead son is epic.
