Home and Garden Storage

Thomas Dolby’s most recognised hit was 1982’s “She Blinded Me with Science”. He has built his music studio in his garden shed.

Shed Life
I work and make music in a garden shed. It’s small but cosy, with windows on all sides, and a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean. Didn’t Nick Drake write a song called ‘A Man And His Shed’? He must have been thinking of me. My daily commute is 15 feet. Some days I’m still in my pyjamas at 2pm…I love my shed!

Thomas has gone on to create some great music and has a new EP out 17 July 2007. Hopefully he’s got some “shed music” on it. He tells a great story about owning a “real” recording studio in West London and the headaches that went with it

So create music in your shed, it’s cheaper than giving up a bedroom. Your spouse will appreciate it too.
