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 !

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'.

Recording: 'The return of the Black Zonga' (SI on take 1)
One-eyed Jack - 14:30-17:00 - P: Yann. Present: Dude, Yann.
First of all, this is the very first recording session that took place in Yann's new place: The Lion's Den. Then it was the one and only session we ever did for the album in year 2004 ! Could you believe that ? In fact, it hasn't been possible before that, because Yann had to work in his house for a very long time. This session went really fine. We did the bass and guitars for the intro of 'The return of the black zonga' (including the little slide guitar line).

The day after my car accident, I quickly recorded the basics for this "all-star" cover for YSn. I did one take of acoustic guitar, and I sang the first verse. Later on in the day I couldn't feel my hands and arms and neck anymore and I had to go to the doctor. I finished my part for the song just in time. Later on in the month, I recieved addional stuff to put in the pot: parts by Clive, David, Terry, Angelo mysterioso, Fanfan, Jbkiller, Maxsilham and Yann. The cover was published 2 days before Christmas, and was a great success.
