I want to record music.
I know I’ve talked about it before, but it’s just too expensive. I’ve been on the BBC’s OneMusic How to… website, and it’s very informative, but it’s an eye-opener at the same time. The list of things I’d need is quite large, not to mention expensive, and the choices I have [...]

Session Guitarist
I just had the most amazing guitar session… on my own. My stepbrother’s band are about as active as half of England’s batsmen today… so I’m writing some music to my songs, and it’s going fairly well. I know my guitar as well as you do, and I have only guitar effect, namely "overdrive", so [...]
Lacks Lyrical
I have a blog (in fact I have two) at WordPress.com, known simply as The Songs Of Geoff Brady. I’ve been writing songs for my stepbrother’s band (of which I have my doubts over its existence, largely down to a lack of a band name), but recently I’ve hit a bit of a writers’ block. [...]
Selling And Selling Out
The music industry is forever trying different avenues in order to make people buy their artists’ albums. In all honesty, I prefer having a solid product rather than one that exists almost entirely as a clump of zeros and ones that no one can see.
I like having sleeve notes, and what is almost like a [...]
The Anti-Club Club
Originally posted on hardwords.net on 12th December 2006
Why do people like clubs? The reasons appear to escape me for there are plenty that turn me away, and none that draw me in. Let me take you through a typical night out in a club.
You arrive. You are greeted by bouncers that make Londoners seem polite. [...]
Collisions And Consequences
Hi guys, check out Collisions And Consequences, of which a fair few of the band are good friends of mine! Go listen!
In The Queue
I got a phonecall today from GCHQ, informing me that I was unsuccessful in my application for the position of Mathematician. The reason being that I had simply applied too early: my course ends in June 2008, and they want me for this September. That’s fair enough, and it was nice of them to give [...]
Subdued
Although I expected my exam results to be disappointing, I didn’t expect them to that disappointing. The stark reality is that a first is pretty much beyond me now. This annoys me somewhat, as I only really have myself to blame.
I let myself get distracted by any small thing. My bedroom has a computer and [...]
The Magic Of Music
I don’t think I can describe how important music is to me. If I’m not listening to music, life is generally dull. It doesn’t matter the genre of the music - it could be something outside the spectrum of my music collection - I can enjoy any music.
My New Year’s Resolution is to produce my [...]
Mercury Rising
The Mercury Music Prize will be decided shortly, and I was reminded by a BBC News article on the nominees. It asks which of the nominees you thought were best. So I thought I would have a look at them, and see how much it would cost for me to buy all the CDs, and [...]
