Tim's Diary

Nov 9th - 9.09pm saturday, all the rest of LA is partying hard.....and we're in the studio.....
charlotte wasn't feeling the vocal thing last night, so i sang 'renegade cavalcade' instead. got back to the ranch @ 4am, hung out with rick and steve in the kitchen talkin shite. i'd just missed charlotte putting away half a bottle of jack in an attempt to get to sleep. left them to it at 5 and headed for bed. rick stayed up til 8 phoning long lost friends on the other side of the atlantic on his mobile.
been down here all afternoon working on renegade. we're going a bit stir-crazy in the studio, so we're gonna head out for an hour to the beach for inspiration. we'll listen to the rough mixes on the way. along with 'invasion of your privacy' by RATT. be afraid.

here's the revised 'rc' lyrics:

Nov 8th - ok, it's 10.34 pm. i'm sitting here listening to charlotte sing her vocals on 'solace', sipping on a gentleman jack and cola, contemplating giving up cos my lyrics will never reach the starry heights of matt-o-mac's.....but it's all about the struggle anyway....so i shall persevere....
today we've just been working on this tune. then we'll move on and do the backing vocals for 'star-crossed'.
for some shameless namedropping we went to dave grohl's hallowe'en party on saturday and got royally messed up. mark was 'jason' from friday the 13th. chaz was a witch, rick was the grim reaper but looked more like darth maul. steve strange, our agent (y'know the horseman) was batman and i was robin. we're all still recovering....
then on wednesday josh homme and brody armstong called round to the house and hung out with mark and steve, unfortunately i was singing myself hoarse in the studio so i missed all the fun.
i've been here so long i've started speaking californian, all i can think is that the record is sounding rad, you'll all be like, totally stoked!

Nov 7th - Here's what's happened in the last 24hrs....was recording vocals for 'star-crossed' last night with nick our producer, sang my voice totally out by 2am so went out to meet the other ash reprobates at a sunset strip bar. threw some darts then retired to the mansion with a bunch of LA amigos. a lot of pool was played and shite was talked. crashed out at 4. was woken at 7 by a paralytic rick blasting music. asked him to turn it down, went back to bed. today i finished 'star-crossed' and am about to sing another sweet ballad called 'solace'.
here's some lyrics for your amusement:
