Yo, did I mention I’m part of a West Coast tour in June? We’re going to Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Anaheim, and my compadres are currently trying to raise money to hire venues and transport and all that jazz: clicky here!

If we get enough, I will hopefully be seeing you in a west coast city near you :D

I was reminded recently of the website YourFonts by the lovely Alan Lastufka, who mentioned them in a blog post. YourFonts is a website where you can make your own custom fonts by scanning in your own handwriting (or whatever you want) without needing any technical know-how, and Alan used it to make the ‘Alex Day’ signature font that you see on all my CDs and on this site.

I just wanted to bring your attention to it, because I think it’s really cool :D It’s fun being able to make your own fonts, and I thought it’d interest you to know how we get our personalised ones. The font for Sopio, as another example, is actually just Danny’s handwriting, we used YourFonts for that too. It’s just a cool site :)

Font away!

Eight of my favourite songs, delivered to your ears once a week :)

x

In my endeavours to continue writing new music while working on Lady Godiva, I’ve found myself working on three ideas today:

a) a song based on the allegory of Plato’s Cave
b) a song about an anglerfish with a broken light
c) a song written for One Direction (they haven’t asked me, I just wanted to write a song for them)

Unexpectedly, these three ideas all merged and ended up all going into the same song. So I now have a song sung by five teenagers about an anglerfish leaving his home and struggling to fit in without a light. Now I just need One Direction to hear it, I guess. xD

But that’s in the future! I’ve written lots of new songs and I’m sure you’ll hear them one day, but Godiva Day is looming in just eight days time and for now, that’s where my effort is going. It’s not Christmas, but it is getting warmer and it feels like a nice happy time to be releasing a song :)

My new show – eight of my favourite hit songs :)

I felt pretty nervous today. I love this song, and that’s enough for me, but I’ve never made a video on this scale before and I’m hoping you guys like it. I think it’s very me: silly and fun and looks a bit weird at times but harmless enough :)

Godiva Day is April 1st, but you can pre-order the physical CD single from HMV right now – they ship worldwide!

EIGHTEEN DAYS LEFT! <3
