Im soo tired, too. I went to bed at 11pm last night, got up at 2:45am, realised that someone drew on my face with green whiteboard marker while I was asleep, played clarinet for an hour, drew on the person that drew on me with a blue highliter, went to bed at 4:30am then got up at 7:30am. :lol:
With one wipe of a cloth, the blue ink came off the culprit's (Laura's) face.
The green ink is still on my face as I'm typing this. (I tried to get it off) :lol:

Hahaha, that was funny as. Both of them were cracking up so bad as they did that to each other... surprised they didn't wake each other. Crazy reactions from the person sleeping as they did it though :lol:.

Well I'm off, night all (and listen to those clips! :thumb: )

Trea, those flamenco songs are cool as!
Yea she's awesome and really nice. I hope to God she teaches year 11 next year :):):)

lol yea Laura was twitching as I was drawing on her moustache :lol:

? :(

I'm getting them now :).

It seems I've missed the chance for introductions, but nevertheless, I will introduce myself anyway.

I'm 18. I live in London. I've just finished my A-levels (last set of exams at school), and hopefully If I've done acceptably in them, I can take up my conditional offer to study music (jazz option:D) at Middlesex. Its quite a conservatoireish course, which is what I want really.

I DJ a little for extra money, and I want to get myself a cocktail piano job to establish a reliable small revenue.

I hope I make it.

I'm just one of the many standing in the shadows of music, trying to realize my dreams! Mine are too influence people, and too gig... theres nothing like the buzz of getting the house on fire..

[QUOTE=gaslight]I'm getting them now :).[/QUOTE]
:) Sweet.

G'day Joel, sounds awesome. Hope you get in!
Do you just play piano or some other instruments too?
Do you mainly play jazz?

Thanks. I mainly play piano, but I play some Sax as well. I don't really practice sax though in all honesty. I do mainly play jazz yes. I play some blues as well, and funk stuff. I play cocktail stuff as well haha...

Hey Joel
Sounds good! Hope you make it!
I'd love to play jazz...

You should put subliminal messages into your music when playing at cocktail bars/hotel lobbies ala Bill Bailey.

:D

does there exist anywhere a software version of something similar to a Boss DR3?

I want that kind of simple interface but i can't afford a drum machine :(

You're lucky, I want a V-Synth XT :upset: £1319 :upset::upset:

[QUOTE]does there exist anywhere a software version of something similar to a Boss DR3[/QUOTE]


Well you could download reason and only use the Redrum (the drum module), its fairly simple.

have you checked pawn shops/ebay? you should be able to find a korg ER-1 for ~100-120 USD.

job interview went really well :D

dunno if i got it tho

Good stuff :D

We got a gig organised for us - playing at a primary school fate in November. Something a bit different for us. Should be fun.
We'll probably have to learn some covers that the kids will actually know and can get into though... Might be a problem seeing our singer is going to Poland for 7 weeks.

And with one of the concert bands I'm in, we're doing a cabaret (sp?) night; Latino Fever (Latin based in case thats... not obvious?). I didn't know about it early enough to get a spot to play some flamenco :(, but it'll be sweet playing Malaguena and the like on trombone :).

Anyone else got band/music updates?

Happy Birthday Chris :)

:D
whythankyou.

enjoy your trip

Happy birthday, Moaner.

I just had another job interview to. I think it went quite well. I may have a new job by this afternoon.

[QUOTE=moaner]job interview went really well :D

Because of all these job interviews I've been having, I've actually shaved three times this week. :p

[QUOTE=Aes820]Because of all these job interviews I've been having, I've actually shaved three times this week. :p[/QUOTE]

Jesus, what's the world coming to?

I even wore a suit to mine.

With a black t-shirt.

And sandals :(

I still have a 48hr wait before i can a. Get my foot wet and therefore have a shower instead of pissing around with a leg out of the bath and b. wear shoes :upset:

I bet you looked very dapper in that little suit of yours.

What's wrong with your foot?

Yeah, happy b'day man! You gonna party down or...?
/seconds Aes's question about your foot

Aes, is this at the same place you were talking about ($10grand more per year) a while ago, or another?

Nah. It was a differnt place.
The pay will be about the same where I am now. But it looks like good fun and I am actually quite excited about it. The change will do me good.
They said they'll let me know on Monday.

Which of the many bands of yours in going to be playing at the fete gig?

[QUOTE=Aes820]I bet you looked very dapper in that little suit of yours.

I had 1/5 of the nail removed and the bed killed on monday to deal with a recurring ingrowing toenail.

Dapper? And little? I'm 5'11 and counting, i'll have you know...

Sweet as. What kind of work would you be expecting to do there? Basically the same?

Oh, sorry for not saying. That'd be Deprived of Sanity. Hopefully it'll get our singer a bit more motivated... if not, she's gone :(.

Urgh, doesn't sound like fun, Moaner.

but the colours are so pretty...

Do do do duh duh de dah.
Update :eek:
I'm bored and my meds are running out and I figure I need an excuse for exploding in a JS thread so I'll pretend I was coming to update you guys.

We finally got our drummer sorted, we brought in a temp for one gig and now we've got a permament drummer all fixed up. And just in time, we hit the studio in 4 days to record the debut album. We've lined up all the places to send off pre-release copies for review. We've got about 8 or so magazines and websites lined up for it, we intend to get some good reviews to put a better presskit together. We're keeping our eyes peeled for local labels.
Powerpop records have got their eyes on us and we're looking at a couple more small local labels.
I had to fill out a PRS form, which was annoying. But it was for the outdoor gig so that balances it out I guess.
We've only got three gigs in august and three in september, which is a bit of a let down, but we're just gonna concentrate on filling up october and november with some more dates.

We got the closest to a genre definition yet from a review by a local magazine,
'a kind of wired up nagging kind of metal I've never heard before'
Doesn't really roll off the tongue though.
We've got most of the album release stuff planned out, (apart from the actual release date) we're going to be getting some online UK distrobution. And we're trying to find some small US distro*
Oh and if any of you guys wanna play a UK alldayer in september next year, drop me a line and I'll drop in a good word for you with the organisers :P

But all in all, band stuff is going well, album on the way and lots of fun!
How are you guys all doing?

*In the way of websites where you send them 5 copies or so, they take about £2 of the price, you keep the rest.

Yeah. It'll be pretty much the same kind of work.

I've got about 5 or 6 songs that need learning before this gig on the 13th. The good thing is the majority of these songs are very easy. Just 2 lots of 4 cord progressions. "Verse Chorus Verse Bridge Chorus" kinds of songs. It should be a fun night.

But how about ho we're a band who've never played before, havent practised yet, I've never even met the bloke who'll be drummig for us, and we're going to be the headlining act for a local music festival in two weeks time. Ha!

Now we just have to get ourselves motivated.

Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death.


OR, to put it another way- don't panic.


And the K: :lol: you? metal? :lol:

Nah, in fairness, it sounds like you're doing pretty well for yourselves.

Aes: Haha, sounds fun. When are you guys planning to practise?

I'm just going to grab a load of more recent/well known songs from the beginner's song list - even though they'll be a pain to play because of their simplicity (Al di Meola/Paco/Gisboni kinda stuff to... well, you know). At least we - better :amaze: - be able to master them (as a band) in the first few tries, then work on actual performance.
Btw, if anyone knows where a good tab/notation of Evermore's "It's Too Late" is (just the guitar part; I've worked out the others already, but I just can't get the guitar absolutely accurate)...

Nice to hear from you, K. 'a kind of wired up nagging kind of metal I've never heard before'... interesting description :).
Sounds like you guys are going alright... make sure you keep us posted, man :thumb:.

Yea I hope we can get these 12 or so songs ready by november, despite singer being in Poland for 7 weeks with no internet :(
I wonder if the kids are gonna squirt us with water pistols? That'd be fun.

BTW, trea (or anybody else) go to [url]www.bigad.com.au[/url] its a funny, yet cool beer ad + Carl Orff :lol:

^ Don't click the link, I'm still not any good at linking things, just type it into the url bar.

Haha, O Fortuna by any chance? :lol:
You going to get on msn? Got some song suggestions for ya
EDIT: Never mind, going out.

Good News...!!
I've got a new job!
That job interview i went for on Friday came up gold.

But, the position doesn't start until the 15th of August, maybe a few days sooner. So I may be having a couple of weeks off, a couple of weeks of being unemployed. :/
I may have to find myself something to keep me occupied between now and then.
But that's do-able.
I hope everyone is in as much of a good mood as what I am.

Build a Synth!
