Who is Winston Echo? He is faux lo-fi!!!

About Me

Winston Echo is me, Chris East. I'm sometimes a bit lonely.
!!! NEW BLOG !!!
I started writing songs and recorded my first CD over christmas 2003 and played my first gig in the new year. It was a disaster. All sorts of stuff went wrong. Oh dear, i thought. Oh dear indeed.
I listen to too many cds and records and don't spend enough time writing songs. I like being a bit silly but This Is Not A Comedy. Yes, some of my songs are funny, but it isn't a joke. It's just the only way I know. Maybe I'm an emotional cripple, who knows?
!!! GIMME MONEY !!!
I got some t-shirts and they are amazing, they come in S, M, L and XL and they have this design on them
they are printed yellow on sky blue and cost £10, if you would like one, send me a message.
here's what they look like when worn (ignore the one on the left, that was a special one off i made for lauren because she asked me AGES ago)
later this night Rob would throw a pint of lager beer in my lap
also, get these 4 badges for £3, message me!

quite a nice time was had by me (and, hey, isn't that all that matters? really?)

I'll work in reverse chronological order for today.  Kind of like that film 'Memento' but without the amnesia and the sickly feeling of being cheated by a film maker who thinks he's a genius. Rig...

me being lazy is better than you being lazy

So, the stray cat disappeared.  I hope he's ok. Just recently I've been going through a really un/non/anit-creative time.  I'm finding it hard to sit down and write whole Winston Echo songs....
