CHAPMAN’s Bare Bones Sessions
So what are CHAPMAN’s Bare Bones Sessions…?
Well…they are going to be a series of filmed ‘as live’ online only performances where CHAPMAN plays cover requests from fans alongside ‘Bare Bones’ versions of tracks from his own albums.
Every week there will be a new session. Each session will feature one cover song and one CHAPMAN original and is launching on YouTube in August 2010.
CHAPMAN is currently looking for suggestions of tracks to cover. Any genre, any style considered all performed in a stripped down ‘Bare Bones’ style.
Each cover song will be dedicated to the person who suggested it.
Please leave your cover song suggestions as comments on this blog…

Stream of my Latest Radio Interview!
Listen to this stream of a 30 minute interview I did last night, 6th May 2010, on the fantastic ‘Crusin Cripples’ Radio Show in the US.
The show I’m on is called Triple Threat and my part is the first 30 minutes.
The station has a short break right at the beginning of the interview directly after I say the word ‘Pyjamas’ but it soon comes back on air SO STICK WITH IT!
I talk at length about my new albums and loads of other stuff over half an hour…let me know what you think!

Wisdom Tooth – It’s not the extraction, it’s the hole it leaves behind!
As part of my continuing dental story, I’ve just had a wisdom tooth removed. I have to say that the build up to any operation is always filled with others telling you how painful the actual act of removal is going to be what they don’t tell you about is the inconvenience and psychological effects of it.
First of all, I react well to strong painkillers I’ve always been receptive to them so to be honest I didn’t feel a thing, the extraction took about 45 seconds. As usual in a dentist chair I was wearing headphones and trying to zone out from what was about to happen and was honestly surprised when he told me to bite down on a swab such a short time after tipping me backwards, I hardly had time to get into the Bubble Puppy track on my ipod.
I got the usual post operative information and stumbled out into the hospital to look for a cab to take me home. I was feeling quite satisfied, numb and happy.
Now listen…what people don’t tell you about having a wisdom tooth removed is, it’s not the extraction, it’s the hole it leaves behind!
My first attempt at a meal was chilli…big mistake… despite my attempts to chew on the other side of my mouth the hole became clogged with mince. I had visions of my gum healing ‘con carne’. Ok so I did manage to get it out but since then I’ve been nervous of any food that can break itself into small pieces, to be honest I’ve been afraid to eat! Coupled with the constant throbbing pain it has made me grouchy ( sorry to everyone who has borne the brunt)
I’m really looking forward to my wisdom hole healing over ‘sans carne’!
