Anyway, progress on my remix is slow and I haven't quite figured out how I'm going to structure it yet but I thought I'd post a rough snippet as i won't now get a chance to do anymore on it until next week sometime. As usual any feedback is appreciated.

I feel like the basis is there, in the instrumentation, but that it needs something extra to bring in later to keep it progressing and building, something melodic maybe, but I'm a bit stumped tbh. Anyway, it's here if anyone cares to listen and has any amazing suggestions...

Yeah he did get to say something. Not as much as Grado (no, I don't know either), but he gave a nice wee speech, surprise, thank you to mum and dad etc etc, all the while looking as cute as a button in an ever so slightly room to grow suit and collarless shirt

I can just imagine the sheer ADORABLENESS

I should probably have mentioned that Grado announced the winner of the category, and presented Nicky with the award

Who the hell is Grado?! To me Grado are an audiophile hi-fi component manufacturer.

This may help:

I've just spent the last two hours watching Grado videos online. I think it's safe to say I'm now a fan.

Oh. I've just noticed Nicky's changed his bio on twitter


Does that mean his manager is no longer his Mum?

There's not much info on their website but it looks like they're responsible for Girls Aloud and Nicola Roberts. The Nicola Roberts thing is interesting as her solo album was really quite interesting, with interesting producers on board (Metronomy who i HEART produced a couple of the tracks). Amyway, hopefully this is a good sign of movement.

Stalker ! Hopefully, this means he has someone behind him who knows what they're doing!

Some days ago there was comment about an unidentified PA.
Could it be this guy? Or are there more PA's involved?

The header of his twitter account:
Paul Tough @toughieboi
PA to Eileen (@eileenmcdonald2) & Nicholas (@nickymcdonald1) McDonald.
All views are my own.
Airdrie, North Lanarkshire

Yes, Paul although does seem to be his PA. He's a relative who recently gave up his job to work with Nicky and Eileen.

I'm excited about the Shawthing Management development...

I take it you've seen this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEfdUt0sAaU <--- LOL the classic "HELP ME!!!" stalked by a thousand girls look.

So I'm just casually chatting to Eileen right now on Facebook.

Be jealous!!!

Some of us confine our stalking to twitter and these forums. But no, you have to go and befriend The Mother

(WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!)

Hope you asked about the new management?

I've been so distracted at work today, I kept looking at my phone.

Don't know if this is gonna work but a clip of Nicky winning his award last night.

IT'S YERSEL!!!

Me


Eileen




I don;t want to bombard Eileen with loads of questions but re; the two emails I've previously sent, the reply was...


So looks like Nicky's manager actually is someone at Shaw Thing Management.

It's yersel is my new favourite phrase. Obviously I say it in a moderately posh English accent, but I don't care.

I'm trying to upload my clip, of the same, from last night, and it's taking hours and hours, apparently because it's in 1080. It should be better quality though. I've never actually uploaded anything on to YouTube before so anything could happen

I think I did mention that I'm a technical nitwit, and the camerawork is shocking (apologies in advance to all you pros) but I think it captures the spirit of the moment. If it ever gets there that is

Ooh. That's got to be a good thing, no?

Ok, this conversation is happening live right now on Facebook so exclusivity for you guys.



So there's bound to be some announcement coming soon.

Ooh yay!

I've heard he might be down in London soon, wonder if that's connected..
