Computerman at Fairview Recording Studios (3/3) By Michelle Dee

(1/3), (2/3), (3/3),

The last music bought by the group reads just as eclectically as expected and includes: News of the World by Queen, American Idiot by Greenday, Best of Ultravox (download) Lost by Manics. One of the tracks on the new Computerman demo is titled Watch More Television, I decided to see how important this message was to the group. Paul says if Computerman ever played on Later with Jools Holland they would never have him playing piano on their songs, though to be fair, he does enjoy the wide range of musical styles Jools promotes.

Mark, on the other hand, claims to not watch television; preferring DVDs instead. He qualifies this by saying he tries to make room at least once a week to watch all three parts of Lord of the Rings. He then proudly announces that he is hoping to pick up the new extended edition that very night. Nassty little televisionses. The whole group agree that Spaced and Alan Partridge were worth rushing home from the pub to watch. In the interests of equality I asked about radio also, as some prefer to listen to the wireless of an evening especially if they don't have TV. Apparently, Nottingham has a paucity of radio shows that would appeal to these cultured individuals, though I did find out you can listen to Raw Talent on the M1 until you get to junction 27. Advice from the group is that, if you are planning to take a trip on a Thursday evening not to pass the aforementioned junction otherwise you run the risk of losing Raw Talent: and that would never do.

As I said earlier some people don't own a TV, sadly Rob doesn't own a radio either so I asked him about books he was reading; being young, intelligent I felt sure he must be keeping his mind active in some way. He didn't disappoint, telling me Neither here nor there by Bill Bryson was the last book he read. The one before that was a George Orwell, it became clear that the group were fairly into literary pleasures and not only was Orwell mentioned again but so was Will Self, Michael Moore and Dave Grohl: Nirvana, Foo Fighters and other Misadventures (there's always one).

I am sure it is a thoroughly engrossing read. Then, to round of this tour de force of literature, I came to Paul, he informed us that the last book he had managed to finish was, Competitive Market forces and Strategy, but despite his short attention span, he was ploughing through the Paul McCartney biography.
