I'm still right here, giving blood and keeping faith...

95 weeks since my last post. Interesting to go back and look at posts from a few years ago especially to read things I had written that I know I wasn't being honest with myself at the time ( Read more... )

Not been upto too much recently. Have spent time trying to avoid spending money by watching old tv shows (Blackadder and Red Dwarf in particular) and perfecting Guitar Hero technique. Guitar Hero is exactly 1,000,000,000 times more fun than being in a band.

Having said that I have decided I want to learn to play guitar properly so I shall be  ( Read more... )

I also soldered together and boxed an instrument switcher for Paul as he wanted to be able to switch between his guitar and synth mid-performance. Really simple solution ( Read more... )

Went to see Nine Inch Nails for the third time last night. It was a more than enjoyable experience, but that has to be one of the worst crowds I have ever seen at a gig. Especially compared to the last gig that I went to. The band where throwing everything at it to try and get the audience to move and join in during the songs but they would just ( Read more... )

To further my fanboy-ism further here is the link to the radio rip of Survivalism. Simple fast song. Not sure about the fragmented vocal style on the verses, but the chorus and pad sounds make up for it.
