Народ, инфа частично уже такая известна была вроде..но тем не менее.. в новом блоге (только для фан-клуба) Ди сегодня написал, что в Швеции пишет песни для нового альбома. Название у него есть, но пока не окончательное, а рабочее, возможно еще поменяется. Делится им он пока не хочет))) Он уже успел написать 5 песен для альбома!
И его фразочка про водителя, который вез его из студии в отель:
I decided that cab driver was fucking cool and so is this city and now some of it is in my back pocket like left over glitter from yesteryear.

The latest..
Current mood: cultured
Category: Music
First things first, I never use my blog to promote friends or other musicians for the sake of it, unless it's something I really believe in and could stand behind. I'm so thrilled that this week has seen the release of an album produced and co written by none other than my main man Justin Shave. Justin is important in my camp because as well as being my live musical director he co produced 'Delicate' and co wrote some of the best tracks on there. Well this week sees the release of the album he worked his magic on : 'Atigoneland' by Antigone. She has quite honestly one of the most technically breathtaking voices live I've ever heard - and in many ways puts other 'divas' to bed without any supper! If it's your thing, do have a listen to the brilliant 'Antigoneland' which you can find http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8veW9jdG9wdXMuY29tLw==



In other news, we've sold 80% of the tickets to New Years Eve and it's only April. If you are planning to go I would think about getting your ticket now because honestly we've done no advertising or promo yet, so I don't expect there to be any tickets come next month.

On to musical things - I have indeed been writing songs for my next album. I've gone all Swedish and though it's early days yet I can tell you the word is POP. Don't expect it until 2010 but work has indeed begun on the writing process. It's been lovely being in Stockholm and I could easily live here.

Things I'm obsessed with at the moment include the new Calvin Harris single, the single 'Daniel' by Bat for Lashes and the insanely gorgeous duet with Robyn and Royksopp.
Ahhhh music is my mamma!

Twitter and Shiz

I'm twittering. On the twitter thing. twitter.com/darrenhayes



I'm writing this from Paris, where I've taken a few days out to spend with my Mum who is visiting me from Australia.

It's so beautiful here - I'm always inspired by this town.


There's a French producer I'm dying to work with on my next record - and I sent off the email today to my

manager to get her to 'make it happen' (click click of the fingers). But while I'm here I'll send out nice

vibes and hope he gets them.


What else is going on?


I'll do it in point form, can't be arsed to be more poetic than necessary.


*Thanks for the wonderful birthday wishes etc. Had a great day, got amazingly spoilt and was

nice to have my mamma here. Went to Petersham Nurseries in their posh restaurant on the dirty

clay floor (ooh 'different!'). Was ace.


*I can't help it, I'm obsessed with 'Battlefield' by Jordin Sparks. Maybe I'm just obsessed with Ryan Tedder's

genius songwriting? Dunno. But it's stuck in my head.


*Please go see 'Let the right one in'. It moved me so much I wrote a song about it.

Nuff said. Be warned it's gory but the gore is secondary to the love story.


*Speaking of vampires, I feel strangely more connected to 'The Vampire Chronicles' ie the inspiration

for the name 'Savage Garden' than ever these days.

Running around Paris thinking how ironic it is that I was a kid who read Anne Rice and dreamed

of a word where Lestat existed. To then traveling to France for the first time in 1997 no now

being here whenever I feel like it, myself feeling a little bit like a old soul.

V cool


*The whole twitter, facebook (even blogging) generation is sort of weirding me out.

Sometimes I wonder if I should go against the already over saturated trend and just retreat more

into privateness to feel like I'm (we're?) not just a cookie cutter version of everything else out there.

A friend of mine had this great joke. He said, particularly about the blogger phenom - that opinions

on the internet are like assholes. Everyone's got one and not many of them are that interesting.

Lol.

Do we really need to know where we all are 24/7?

Still not sure yet = liking blogging and might continue to turn my own website into more a blog

in the future - but for now I'm twittering like every other hack ;) But I do get the feeling that

we're SO connected now that something has to give. Do you have any opinions on the subject?


* The Royksopp and Robyn single 'The girl and the Robot' is just lush. Can't get enough.


Um. That's it.

Love to you

xxD

'I want you', Rick Knowles and Squished Frogs!!!
Current mood:Worn Out
Well hello.......


I've some time to kill so decided to tell you about my weekend. In reverse order, I'm currently sitting in the Hotel Lobby of Lochgoilhead Hotel which is in a tiny, one street, village about 30 miles north of Glasgow. I'm not really a mountain lover but I have to say the view I have right now is pretty awesome. So how did I get here? One of the regulars at the Snooty Fox on Lowick asked me to come and play his wedding here. That was last night at a place called The Lodge - also on the edge of the Loch. It's a very private place that can only be booked by appointment and is often used by MP's for meetings as you can take a seaplane from Glasgow and land outside the Lodge. Although they probably won't be doing that any more. Google "The Lodge" Loch Goil. Its owned by some film producer called Ian.


Roll back to 2pm yesterday when I was checking in my guitar and SMALL amp. How much for extra baggage???? £153.00!!! ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE POUNDS because I was 10kg over my limit. What the F**K is that all about? Easyjet = Easyspend.


So that brings us to Sunday evening. Quite a while ago Darren called me up to ask me to do a special Charity gig at Home House in Central London. It was being organised by a certain Mr Rick Knowles? Who's that you ask? GOOGLE him. Basically the man behind some of the most famous co-writes pop history has to offer. Also on the bill were Shazney Lewis and Belinda Carlisle.


As it was a charity do and also a celebration of Rick's career it was basically a 'Hits Only' night. - NB I'm going to omit a few details here as I don't know if Darren will be blogging himself about this - so we put together a short acoustic list of hits and met Rick in St Johns Wood for a rehearsal on Saturday afternoon. Although every song performed that night was co-written by Rick there were a couple of SG songs that he was clearly dying to play on so we taught him the songs and the 'Temporary Trio' was born. I might add at this point that although I sort of knew who he was it hadn't quite sunk in yet.


We performed a great set and I have to say I LOVE SINGING those songs!! After a deluge of endless weddings and 40th Birthday parties it was so good to get back in the saddle even for a heartbeat (which it seemed like). We were the only set without a band, just Darren, me on acoustic guitar and Rick on piano. Needless to say we rocked. Even after these last 2.5yrs years I'm still stunned when Darren lets fly and sings his ass off. I think society forgets that the generation of pop stars before X Factor actually CAN sing and will always put the Reality TV Pawns to shame in a sing off.


After our bit Rick then did a set consisting of all his most famous songs. Starting with 'Get What You Give' which he co-write with my friend Gregg Alexander from the New Radicals, he also played songs he wrote with Dido, Madonna and Ronan Keating. It was then that I began to grasp just what an impact this man has had on pop culture. He started writing with Belinda Carlisle in 1986 and from then just went up and up. Every song was a smash and equally every song brought on flurried gasps of "He wrote this TOO".


FInally it was Belinda's turn. Whilst Rick performed Belinda stood at the back with Darren and I and I must admit I didn't really recognise her but she seemed really nice. She had no idea who Dido was which was quite amusing. However, when she started performing I knew every single song and every word and I have never in my life actively sought out a BC or Go Go's track to listen too. Thats the test of real success when a on old fashioned rocker like me knows all her tunes haha!


So over-all it was a fantastic evening and such a blast to be back on stage with DH again but also an honour to perform on stage with one of the worlds most famous song writers.


On friday I played for my friend Laura's 19th Birthday at the Snooty Tavern in Great Staughton. I was joined by Owen for a few songs and one of my pupils - 14 yr old Ben - did a five song set and had more girls fluttering than i've seen since Cliff Richard undid the top button on his Lilac shirt. Well done Ben :)


So, back to Loch Goil. I have a hire-car to drive the 30 miles back to Glasgow then off to The Albert Hall tonight to see 'me old mate' Eric Clapton. Tomorrow I'm back in the studio with Mr Tom Nichols which is a whole new story to tell you about one day. Check out www.juicymusik.com - here's another chap who has contributed to pop history.


Thursday - SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP :)


Thanks for listening. Bye bye. XX


PS: Driving back from the Lodge along the edge of the Loch last night I was attacked by a deluge of frogs. It was like that crazy french cartoon where the lady sets off bombs in the lake and then catches all the falling frogs in a net. They were EVERYWHERE. So i crawled along swerving my car all over the road to avoid them (almost taking the car for a swim at one point - don't tell AVIS) I'm pretty sure they all survived and I eventually got back to my room about 2am. RIBBET!!!!!!

New Years show - almost sold out
I wanted to write and give the heads up there's only 20 tickets left to the NYE show in case there is someone who was intending to go but thought 'meh it's only june..I've got ages..'.
I'm sure they'll be gone by the weekend anyway but that's just a heads up from me.

In other news, Summer seems to have arrived in London and I regret not having air con!
I might be the only person in England who hates summer but lordy I do.

I've been recording in my home studio and stupidly busy working on stuff for my new album (scheduled for next year). I've been blogging over at the fan club about it but the point is it's in the attic of my house and boy does it got hawt up there!

Here's a picture of me prematurely aging.



I'll eventually post some of the 'making of the album' blogs over here.
But if you're wondering why I'm a bit silent it's because I'm being the opposite of that in the studio!
