So I backed Mon Mome, amongst others, in the National last saturday. 93p each way – it was all I had left in my Paddy Power account after I backed all the horses whose form I liked. I picked it based on the jockey silks. Same way I picked Numbersixvalverde in ’06. And probably Silver Birch in ’07. Yeah, I’ve picked three out of the last four Grand National winners. w00t.
Not had much chance to get to grips with Logic Pro yet. Noodled around with some of the virtual instruments and installed Addictive Drums (my favourite source for multisampled drums – they sound terrific with some careful programming. Just wish there was a couple more cymbal slots, mind you), so I might have a crack at doing some proper recording in the near future.
My next door neighbour died of cancer today, and it looks like my mum’s cousin might not be long for this world either, thanks to it. Fuck cancer. Fuck cancer up its tumerous arse.
On a lighter note, my friends/bandmates Toma and Ross produced another comedy music video, based on Biffy Clyro’s song Machines. You can watch it below.

The World’s Greatest Steeplechase is tomorrow, and the usual forty runners will thunder their way over four-and-a-bit miles of Aintree’s unique fences, while every man and their dog cheers on their chosen nag, myself included.
Here’s some thoughts on some of the runners.
