Cute golf and Studio Silverhill
Today Yos and I went to play golf at a little course near his house. His area is an hour or so from Tokyo and is quite lovely really. The trick is to have a car, so you can escape the immediate confines of the town. Once you travel off the main roads, it becomes a bit more open and countrysidey. The golf course was very cute indeed. The first hole was 50 yards long. The second was 56 yards. The longest hole on the course was 110 yards. I think there were 2 bunkers on the entire course. The view from the 6th hole was awesome, looking out over Chichibu national park. We stopped for a smoke there and looked out over the rolling mountains. The farmers were burning their fields and the smoke hovered over the hills without a care in the world. The golf course was friggin expensive though, at 2500 for 18 holes. But I suppose the price of joy is about that. Although those 30 Yen chocolate bars are pretty nice too...
After that we went into the studio to record our second Silverhill single. We started off with a Pixies esque song which went ok. I liked it but he didn't care much for it. Then we did a Velvet Underground esque song and it was brilliant. I mean it felt brilliant. It was soft and harmoniuos and natural. I'm looking forward to hearing what Yos does with it. It could well turn into a classic. I mean, it will feel like a classic to us...
