Waux Hall, Mons, Belgium - afternoon - P: Dude. - Present: Dude, Calico, Coco, Mr mustard, and a whole lot of people....
I wanted to do this for a long time: play at the Beatles Day in Mons, Belgium. I sang four songs, all taken from Paul McCartney's last album "Chaos and creation in the backyard". For 'Too much rain', I sang in duet with Phil Calico. 'Friends to go' I did on the uke, to gave it that George harrison feel Macca talked about, and I did 'Vanity Fair' both on guitar and glockenspiel, while singing at the same time. I just loved that day. full of friendship, good vibes, and the evening show was fantastic.
Thanks a lot to the whole Beatles Day team, to Marco and Clo for the photographs, to Calico, and to all the wonderful Yellow-subians I met that day.

When it was my turn, I used to take my guitar and sing with them whatever they wanted to sing. I needed to record one of these evenings. I did. It sounds surprisingly well. This Minidisc unit + stereo microphone is a gem. The kids in this are marvellous, as always.

A whole afternoon dedicated to the bass. First , I put some basswork on David's 'Wreck of the hesperus'. It's been quiet a challenge, since David is a little bit tuned lower as my guitars usually are, so I had to retune my bass for this number. Also, the tempo is getting faster as the song goes on, so I had to concentrate to match it. Then I added bass to my own 'Getting closer', and I started a new cover from scratch: the famous 'Lucy in the sky with diamonds'.

One-eyed Jack - afternoon - P: Dude.
I decided to create a suite of 7 strange weird audio pieces, and to put them on YSn. For each one I invented a title with a pun, each one containing the name of a note. I did the complete first piece: two tracks of bass strings scrapped with a pick, one track of acoutic guitar playing variations around a Cmajor chord, and one track of electric guitar laughing out loud. The whole with was then heavily treated, and published as is, having been previously reversed backwards :)
'Iron man' was another instrumental by Maxsilham from Ysn, onto wich I added vocals. I took a blast trying to reproduced the metallic voice of the intro of the song. I think I pulled it out.
Finally, I started to lay down some basics for the 2nd movement of my little mini-series: 'Le Ré pulsion'. This time I used one track of djembé, and one track of finger cymbals.

Later in the morning, I went to the Nancy record fair, and found my own copy of Revolver, as a British 1966 Ernst J. Day Lp. Wooohoooo ! :)

France 3 basement - 20:00 - 23:00 - P: Dude. Present: Dude, Stef, Boz.
That morning, I started to browse the internet, and I stubbed into an add on the front page of Bjork's website, saying they had this project of a double-cd for charity, which would contain many covers and remixes of 'Army of me'. They were asking for more covers. I immediatly wanted to participate. The thing was that the deadline for that project had been set to JANUARY 17th ! I had to think quick. So I finally decided to do a crazy acoustic guitar and vocal version, hoping that the idea might click. I sent my cover later that day. I think I made a decent job, but my version didn't make it into the final tracklisting of the album. :(

The Lion's Den - 21:00-11:00 - P: Yann. Present: Dude, Yann.
It was a bit hard, because I had been working all day, and I didn't have time at all to prepare me for that session. But we did a remake of the very last guitar solo for SF, and we also re-did the slide guitar solo in 'Locked up at home'. Apparently, and except for an eventual 'Young and free', it was the very last electric guitar stuff recorded for the album ! Wow !

Adding all the vocals for that cover of Bowie's classic, the background music being the one we recorded with Yann for the Fakers' album (the 'Steffy Hairdust' version).
Then in the afternoon, it was back to work for the Dp3 band. We started with Chunga, and then did 'Under my thumb', 'Any major dude', 'Birthday/Yer blues', 'Buddha of suburbia', 'Afraid', and then we dig up an old favorite of mine: 'Paranoid android', which came out curiously good (apart from my out of tune guitar). So I put it back in the setlist. Some of this stuff has been recorded on Minidisc. At one point we did a lounge version of 'Bithday', melted with 'You know my name' vocals, and we also did a bit of crazy Mayhem with 'Keep it greasy'.
