ComEnts

I'm slightly concerned at the moment, I think that years and years of aural abuse has finally caught up with me. Stonepark played a gig with a girl called Lara Nuham last Tuesday at the Cellar Bar in Bracknell, we weren't very loud cos we were running off the laptop (which means that we don’t have to compete with the volume of a drum kit), but Lara's band were at full gigging level and unfortunately her mic technique wasn't as good as her vocal technique, which meant that on a couple of occasions she almost shattered my eardrums. Well, this morning I felt an audible "pop" in my left ear, and it feels like someone has stuffed it full of cotton wool, with a loud hissing noise drowning almost everything else out. Am I teetering on the verge of total deafness? I wouldn't be surprised - I'll be wearing ear plugs for anything louder than a TV from now on. Hope it goes away, but with a Müf rehearsal tonight and gigs-a-plenty coming up, I may not be able to give it a chance.

Oh well, I wish half the people I deal with would shut up, so at least if I go deaf I won't have to listen to them anymore?
