Meerkats and music...

Last  weekend I met Jasper, the cuddly hand-reared meerkat.

 Jasper was rejected by his fellow meerkats, and completely raised by hand, hence his penchant for cuddles (see pic) and snoozing (see pic) rather than standing on guard or wearing a fez, as we know all meerkats are prone to do.  I was introduced to Jasper as the delicate strains of a Hawaiian xmas tune bellowed out from a speaker behind us, and xmas trees blew over in the wind.  Jasper seemed pretty much unconcerned.

Later I met some of his friends.  I discovered they don’t like banana.  They tolerate grapes, if thoroughly polished in dirt, and they may or may not deign to eat sweet peppers.  They will beg for mealworms.  Roast mealworm with stuffing for xmas dinner, one imagines, this year!   I was advised not to try to steal a meerkat, as they are not toilet trained, and I have many pairs of nice boots.  So not one of them 'accidentally' hid away in my camera bag – not even Jasper...

Meerkats aside, I have more exciting music news this week as I can reveal that Crimson Clocks has launched a bandcamp page, from which you can now download our debut EP, Ingeniously Evil, in its entirety!  Buying someone an MP3 reader for Xmas?  Why not pre-load it with one/ some/ all of our tracks?  Surely a stroke of (evil) genius (ahem).  (While I’m at it, I shall once again remind you that The Home Front, volume 1 of The Automata Wars is now also available for digital download exclusively from Amazon – yet another wonderful, even if I do say so myself, idea for an Xmas gift...)

Crimson Clocks’ bandcamp page will soon be further adorned with all of the tracks from our new EP – including Safe Pair of Hands, Crimson Circus, All Seeing Eye and the Little Myth goddess songs, so keep eyes peeled in the new year.  (Not like grapes – unless you want a meerkat to rub them in the dirt...).
