GarageBand - Nerve Engine

Sunday

Rationale by Nerve Engine is back at number 4 in the GarageBand chart. The track tops the reviewers' categories for Best Vocal, Best Drums, Best Guitar, Best Bass and Best Production.

The chart appears to be based on reviews by other bands rather than on the number of plays or downloads. As GarageBand send out links to tracks that they want other bands to review it seems to me that they are controlling a group's chart position by sending or not sending links to the track. Strange way of judging a band's popularity or potential but that's the way they do it.

I just checked out the GarageBand site and there hasn't been a review of the track posted since May 1st. Come on GarageBand sort it out will you.

I checked out Penn's comment on yesterday's entry and found the site for his local paper, Express & Star.

Quite right Penn - there's no mention of any Wolverhampton link to recent crack cocaine busts in Aberdeen. I guess that it would be bad publicity for the local area whereas the Aberdeen press would be keen to point out that drug problems there are caused by people who come from over the border in England. Seems that crack cocaine prices in Aberdeen are at least twice as high as elsewhere and that's why the dealers go there. Must be the oil industry money that pushes the prices up.

We were supposed to have a house full of young Boggers this weekend, a gathering of the Clan. It came to nothing - one Bogger got up too late to catch the train and the other got involved in a celebratory lunch with drinks and decided to stay where he was.

Eh bien - c'est la vie.

Back Spasm

The weather was good for a change so out we go to the compost heap. There's gold in them there compost heaps! Trouble is we decided to bag it. Bags get heavy and when you try to move them - wallop! Back spasm!

Not a big one - I've had far worse in the past but the Bogs lower back is now setting rock solid at a ninety degree angle to the perpendicular. Looks like I'm going to be flat on my back and dosed up on pills again.
