Gavin Rossdale

we're back in the studio working on some cool different versions of the record,

and some b-sides etc.

the session in las vegas went real well and we're putting the finishing touches to it now.

i wonder when i-tunes will release them(6 songs)

it'd be cool to make a whole record there,even if it is close to some serious distractions.

i think it could work great though.i'm really enjoying vegas right now.

it is a different planet.

the studio at the house is pure magic.and it sounds great.big 70's subwoofer and cool speakers make for happy musicians.

me and chris are taking different turns between guitars and singing.

it's a creative time.

and it's cool to hang in,i should post a picture.you gotta see it.

it was a busy weekend.4 birthdays and the kanye west/nerd show on monday and trying to finish a ton of details in the studio.

also some press-

it's a weird one.you meet someone for 40 minutes and try to be yourself and answer as best you can.music is easy,but then the personal stuff-and really you gotta watch what you say as it can be soooo taken out of context and i think i am rusty and so the mistakes can happen and then you wonder

if you're gonna get fried when the interview comes out.obviously i had a worrying interview.

and you know how people diss some artists for being interviewed,talking and responding without saying anything,so you want to be open but that makes it easier to screw up and

then hear about some big mouth comment that you may or may not regret.

so it is a minefield and all i want is to spread the word about the record.

you can see the interviews can stress you out.

anyhow

the artwork is done,the photos are done and now the video is the next big thing.

i'm meant to be doing it next week-haha-

wow-it's all quiet then it's a manic rush.

that's showbiz for you.

i'll keep you posted.

rehearsals start on the 5th may-and then we really start to motor.

on and up

best

and hey-wanted to give a shout out the gavinrsossdalefans.com site

you guys are cool and run a great site.thx.

it was windy and sandy.and a little remote.

not the most talented kitchen but i felt better for a little food.

 we're recording some songs for an i-tunes thing. in the studio hereat the palms.

thanks for coming around.

i think the full site is pretty imminent.

but here we are-how have you been

well,the record will be here before we know it and it is getting pretty exciting.

the reaction to the single over the last couple of weeks has been wild.

something that has taken me by mad surprise.

thx for your support.

i hope you're digging the trailer we made for the record.

next week,chris arrives here in la and we are going to vegas to do a session for i-tunes at the palms -they have a recording studio in their hotel.it's a stripped down acoustic-thing

and we're driving there instead of flying.

a bunch of us-

road trip style

and we're gonna record a bunch of songs in a day.

some from wanderlust and a couple of covers.

not sure which ones-so i'd better figure it.

it's early here in la-the weekend is ahead

the sky is getting hotter and i wonder how venice is doing.

when i first came to la,years ago,i stayed on the canals there.

they are magic.

maybe we should pass by down there.

retread a little of the past with the present.

so,have an excellent weekend.

be lucky
