Pick up from where we left off on 'knives out'. It is felt that we should try and finish it or at least something. C's overdub bass, the Johnny follows on guitar. It doesn't seem to be happening. Then someone puts the Copenhagen on. It sounds better in terms of actually puts the song across – Nigel loves the feel of this version, but doesn't think it's quite good enough. The prospect of restarting and & attempting the song is quite daunting and also adds the anxieties of not completing stuff – Nigel says we should be. It feels like we need a break. (not the holiday type – we've had enough of those) no, the watershed type.
