Idiot verse

A funny thing about introducing a new queen into a hive that has lost its queen (or one that you’ve killed because her brood was too fighty). 

You have to introduce the new queen into the hive with these special queen cages that are stopped up with candy, and are open enough to let the hive smell the new queen, but not open enough that they can get in there and kill her.

Because they will kill her. 

When you first put the new queen in she smells like an intruder, but by the time it takes the bees to eat through the candy and free the queen, the queen’s pheromones will have had time to work and the hive will have gotten used to her.

From the outside this kinda seems like: 

“My gloomy darlings, For the last 3 years I have been making an album It has hurt, soothed and kept me awake It is finished And will be released on 16th of September 2016.

You are all dear to me Yours exhausted,

Well, this is definitely the most fun I’ve had while making a post.

Saturday night live with Pete Roe - A Strange Kind of Mystery in the Air (Indie Kitchen Session).

Pete Roe (born 20 July 1981) is a singer-songwriter based in London, UK. He was formerly a member of Laura Marling’s band and has also toured with Mumford and Sons, Lucy Rose, Nathaniel Rateliff, Willy Mason and Ben Howard,  He has been compared to Bert Jansch, and been described by NME as the missing link between John Martyn and Leonard Cohen.

Pete Roe was born in London and studied mechanical engineering at The University of Bristol. In 2007 he moved to London and joined as session musician in Laura Marling’s band. Between 2008 and 2010 he recorded on Marling’s Mercury Music Prize nominated albums ‘I Speak Because I Can’ and 'A Creature I Don’t Know’ as well as being the second signing to Communion Records in the summer of 2010. The EP The Merry-Go-Round received critical acclaim: opening track “Bellina” was awarded Song of the Day status by Q Magazine, and Roe named an up-and-coming star by The Guardian’s influential music section. In 2012 he produced Folk-Rock Band Hot Feet’s debut EP “Wood House”

Roe’s 2013 Album “Our Beloved Bubble” was recorded at Watercolour Studios in the highlands of Scotland in only a few days. It was mixed by Ethan Johns, mastered at Abbey Road Studios and released by Middle of Nowhere.

Our Beloved Bubble was described by Q (magazine) as sounding “Like a lost 70s John Martyn classic” and Bob Harris called it “A lovely record”

Pete Roe is a tuner and restorer of Harmoniums and Reed Organs

Between 2013 and 2015 Roe designed and developed a guitar pickup called the Submarine that lets the player apply effects to two strings of a guitar, thereby making one guitar sound like two.
