It’s the last day of the decade. I only get to say that once every ten years. Next time I’m in this position, I’ll be thirty. How exciting :D
I’m going out for the day to London, because I’ve been meaning to go to the London Transport Museum for months and Becky said that if I went to the British Museum with her, she’d go to the Transport Museum with me. So that’s what we’re doing :)
I finished a rough version of You Can’t Trust Me last night – I think it’s quite cool. It’ll be the song before the end. I learned a lot about repetition from a Beatles song called Polythene Pam – especially since it was pointed out to me that it sounds pretty similar to Georgia xD It needs a lot of melody construction but it’ll be done soon enough.
I don’t have a full track order worked out, but I know roughly where things will go: I know Together Tonight and Georgia will be the first two, and You Can’t Trust Me and Not Just Yet will be the last two.
I should probably tell you guys that I’m aiming to start recording The World Is Mine in February for release in June. Parrot Stories was recorded over four days, we did three songs a day, but for this I plan to spend a full day on every song, over the period of a month or two, so I can go away and listen and work out the best things to do for each track. In the meantime, I’m going into the studio on January 23rd/24th to record the 117% Complete EP, and that’ll be out in March.
Hope your New Year is fun :D

Alex you should add a gallery to your website so all your fans can look at your pretty face and see where you've been for shows and things, just a suggestion.

Actually, technically, its not the last day of the decade. In exactly a year it'll be the last day of the decade…
Me and my smartass comments. :P
Happy New Year to you too!
I'm rather excited for all your forthcoming musical projects!
XD
It's rather hard to consider that 2010 is part of the aughts, innit? We're going to switch from saying two thousand nine to twenty-ten.
Arthur C. Clarke & Stanley Kubrick knew the millennium started on “2001″, but Clarke's sequel wasn't “2011″, it was “2010″.
Merry Christmas, Alex!
Crap. I'm an idiot. I meant to say Happy New Years. I am so retarded.
I was at barnes and noble yesterday, and I saw that book Stargirl you were talking about in a past blog. So I decided to buy it :) and when I got home, I read it in 4 hours, which is amazing for me. Such a good book. I'm glad you brought it up. Happy New Years!
Haha, no worries, you are correct. For some reason, though, this misconception doesn't really bother me. It's all just a matter of from when you count, which really makes no difference.
2010 looks to be an interesting year. New music, new movies, new politics, new books, new experiences, new everything. We're really on the steps of a revolutionized world. I can't wait.
and a DAMNED GOOD sequel it was!!! (finished it just yesterday)
sorry this is rather completely irrelevant… :
Yay:D I love your music. And hey Alex, you should look up “DoctorWhoogle.com”, by the way.
Happy end of the decade:)
Happy New Year!! x
I've just got my copy of Parrot Stories today. Enjoying it very much, and looking forward to June and The World is Mine. Happy New Decade. :) (I don't wanna say how old I'll be next time I can say that.)
I cannot wait for any of your new music. Take your time and please enjoy your new year :)
Like every one else, I'm very exited to discover/explore your music in the future. You seem very determined to make this even more fantastic, and I'm just greatful I am one of the many that enjoys your music. I'm looking forward to new music/new videos in 2010! Happy new Year! The world (our world) is truly yours!
Happy new year my friend. I hope 2010 is pure awesome xx
Oh yay! I love it too :D
Can't wait for the new album <3
Happy New Year Alex! =D
Muahaha! The next time I can say happy new decade I'll be 23 or technically I'll be 5 because I was born on a leap year :D Yay for being young <3
oh, and is Georgia the song that goes, Do you want Georgia to leave? NO NO NO! If it is then YAY! <3
I'm feeling an absurd sense of achievement at starting the New Year by reading every blog entry you ever… well, entered… whilst listening to Parrot Stories. XD
I have just officially succumbed to Nerimon-obsessiveness by quoting from your blog on the phone to a friend and laughing maniacally to myself… ah well, such is life… :)
Happy New Year, I'm sure the eloquent retelling of your life will keep me chuckling for another decade… :)
xx
Sounds like 2010 is off to a great start for you, Alex. I can't wait for “The World is Mine” to come out.
I love that you are influence by the beatles!!! they are my favorite band. When I listen to your music that is what i hear, that and greenday. I had an obsession with greenday when i was younger. >.> i was a punk. it was hilarious.
Will you do a beatles cover?? it would make my life. lol
Yay I'm looking forward to 117% Complete EP and the The World Is Mine sounds like the end product will be brilliant.
