see you next wednesday

hello


flirtations with fame are mine once again, then. one of the finest, indeed greatest musicians of this brave new modern era has elected to put an image of me, or if you like moi, on the ostensible cover of their new recording.

i am of course flattered by such, look you see. my hope for this ambitious venture, though, is that such does not distract from the sheer excellence of the record. a record that you should indeed be able to hear later in this post.





at the time of this going to press the above represents, nay reflects, the final artwork for the record. earlier variations can be seen in the video below, which is of course secondary to hearing the most splendid title track.

that title track is, and no your eyes do not deceive you, See You Next Wednesday. a great many of you will, to be decidedly sure, have no need for clarification of the origin of that title. for those unaware or curious, however, the words "see you next Wednesday" were ostensibly the first English language recognized spoken words in the film 2001 A Space Odyssey off of Stanley Kubrick. attention was drawn to his by John Landis, who for presumably personal reasons was quite amused by this and thus made sure those words appeared in some capacity within every film what he made.

i am reliably informed that video on here appears to work for all, now, irrespective of device or browsing software used. most happy day this is. with that in mind, then, here you go, have a listen. and admire the developmental artwork, if so wished.



but of course, details of the celebrated, magnificent artist who wrote, performed and indeed - quite thankfully - recorded this. Jonny Granville, no less. a chap whose music you can hear, and if you are so kind as to do so buy, over here on his Bandcamp page. if all things Apple and iTunes are rather more your sort of thing, you can find him there, too, on that there "iTunes store". unfortunately i cannot link to the latter because, as i am sure anyone who has tried is aware, Apple does not understand how an internet works in a way that makes it easy for users.

well, there we have it. i am honoured, flattered and delighted to appear on the cover for this song alone, let alone the entire album which is to follow. nice one, mate, and i really do hope the record is a spectacular and well deserved success.



be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
