Some friends of mine have been busy little bee’s putting together a Portsmouth Football Club FA Cup song.

It has a full wordwide digital release on Monday (12th May) and all proceeds go to charity so please buy it when it’s out. Until then, you can have a listen over here: www.myspace.com/abidepompey

It will be available to download from popular download sites such as iTunes, Napster and HMV. The proceeds go to local charities Tom Prince Cancer Trust, Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation and Second Chance. Even if you don’t like the song, please buy it as it’s a worthy cause!

So Frosthold started recording on 19th Jan 2008, initially in the Old Blacksmith’s Studio in Portsmouth. We currently have drums and bass tracks down and recorded, although I haven’t heard it myself, apparently sounding good. Next step is guitars then vocals! I can’t really give much of a “studio blog” as I wasn’t there of course, I was in Durham…

Just a little venting of fustration here, but parking in Portsmouth is so bad. Most of the roads are permit holder only (2 hours free parking normally). My girlfriend has had 3 parking tickets recently, she comes to stay at mine quite a lot. One could go to the parking office near the city centre and get these 24-hour permits, but there’s the fustration of getting there. I work office hours, and the parking office is open office hours, which makes it difficult to actually get down there. I can’t even get down there to get my resident permit (even though I don’t really need it as I am lucky enough to have allocated parking). Now I understand that the city council is trying to aim the parking towards residents - but what about visitors? One of my band mates had several parking tickets over my time of living in Portsmouth, and it’s just fustrating.
