lammas - musicians of bremen volume four released

so this is lammas (and what have you done?). one of the four celtic quarter days roughly midpoint between the equinoxes and solstices. if horsemouth had any wheat to harvest now might be a good time. otherwise let us accept with gratitude the bounty of the summer. 

musicians of bremen prepare to release volume four and have an online event of some sort to celebrate it. horsemouth doesn’t know if howard will get it together to play ‘live’ but horsemouth certainly won’t and they won’t be playing live together (he doesn’t reckon). that doesn’t mean the evening will be a wash out just that it will have to be arranged differently. there’s a video - they’ll release that. 

as usual horsemouth and howard make it to the summer and then discover themselves too knackered and with too little time to do any promotion. they are archetypal artist/ musicians in that having made the thing they have no idea how to promote it. maybe this year (the least propitious year on record surely) they’ll crack it. 

horsemouth is suffering with hayfever symptoms - dripping nose, muzzy head, itchy eyes. in a bit he returns to the cloud forest (to feed the cats - to water the allotment - to go for a walk in the forest - to see if the broadband is back on). 

yesterday (hottest day of the year - phewhatascorcher) horsemouth just couldn’t get started - ok no, the getting up early and going watering worked well, thereafter it all went downhill. sunday he’ll talk to his mum on the phone. monday he is babysitting (to permit another musician to get into the studio). thursday his sojourn in the cloudforest comes to an end. he will probably try to get away to his parents shortly thereafter - trying to avoid direct contact with the rest of humanity as much as possible until he is there. 

he’s started on j.g. ballard’s the unlimited dream company - one of the lesser known ones.
