OMG! This thing still on!?
Well, needless to say it’s been a while.
To be honest, there was never much interest in this blog thing anyway. BUT OH WELLS.
I thought I’d make a small music related post. Recently read @stuartastbury ‘s blog post and it inspired me to talk about music that none of you care about (Y)
My favourite album at the moment is Aenima by Tool. I can not stop listening to it!! Tool...

HAHAHA LOLZ
Peter Serafinowicz gave me and his many followers this link to this funny youtube video. It is genius! They basically just use auto-tuners to make everyone sing in a single key, makes them seem like their singing. Like what many pop singers do these days, a technique adopted in particular by T-Pain. But it is just so funny, especially when they’re talking ‘bout global warming. Just...

Flight of the Conchords
They have a new series on BBC4 atm, but the only person I can be excited about with it is my sister. So I think I need to get people into Flight of the Conchords cos they are very awesome! Here’s a funny video from their series. Look them up on youtube as well.
OMG THIS IS THE TITS
My sister sent me this link. It’s a webpage of videos where people keep failing and then a cat plays the keyboard. IT IS SO FUCKING FUNNY. Instead of being lazy and making you go to the website, I’m gonna put the funniest videos up on here.
Bear with this next one, it’s so funny though.
It’s I like turtles boy!
That’s just a taster. Ima gonna...
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
That’s right, I laughed. I thought after my pretty epically boring post yesterday I’d post something funny today. And I’m not good at typing funny stuff unless I’m being retarded. So here’s a video that I remembered watching years ago and decided to watch today. It’s Weird Al Yankovic doing a parody interview type thing with Eminem. Of course it’s not...
The Odyssey
Recently I’ve been a bit obessessive about a song by Symphony X called The Odyssey. So I looked it up and it’s about an actual story, one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed by Homer. So I started reading about it. It’s possiblyone of the most confusing storys ever, and even though I’ve been reading about it for days now I couldn’t really begin to tell...

100 Truths about me, stolen!
Yes, stolen off Fred, I’m bored and avoiding the IT work that’s due for tomorrow. Go me.
LAST: 1. Last beverage = Blackcurrent juice 2. Last phone call = erm, well some pre-recorded sales message thing phoned me a while ago 3. Last text message = some shit from my dad 4. Last song you listened = omg, broken zen :( i listened to Awake my Dream Theater going to sleep last night so it...
Summer: The most uncomfortable season
I hate summer. For all the good stuff it provides like going out in the holidays, festivals and wearing shorts, it has 2 more things that are bad about it. Here is my list of resons for hating summer.
Hayfever. This won’t apply to most people so they won’t care about the people who suffer from it, i.e. Me. It is hell. I scratch my eyes constantly which causes more pollen to get into...
Moop
Well, it’s looking like it is shaping up to be one hell of a boring week. Mainly because now I’ve passed my theory test my parents are telling me to revise for exams. Boo. And I also have tons of work and organising to do, which I hate with a vengeance. And also Daisy is away on holiday this week and I doubt people will be bothered to do much, so not a lot in the way of fun times. I...
Fair to say it's been a very good 2 days for me...
Well, i cant remember wednseday a whole lot, but it was quite fun. Me and Cowler climbed the walls in the park, then went on the swingy thing that goes around and up and down and then we went on a spinny thing that was a platform and we all got dizzy and people felt sick except me cos im ard. :)
Fast forward a bit. I arived at Ellies to find that everyone was already there, which was gay cos I...
OHOHOHO
Looking to be a fun day today, fun time at hartham then a piss up at ellie m’s :D
Although only a small piss up for me, because I have my theory test tomorrow :( Let’s hop i don’t end up failing like mansfield, i wouldn’t be able t live that down lol.
so yeah, I think I’m gonna post a funny video, cos I tried to point it out to Fred but he asnt responded, so...
An awesome video to put Kong back to good music
Joe ‘Jimmy’ Kong asked me to put a video up of some ‘black music’. As some of you know, I despise this term. So I decided to get a video of a black guy playing rock/metal, just to show Jimmy that you cant categorise a whole race of people under one genre. This video is Steve Vai playing with some virtuosos, one of whom being Tony MacAlpine. A excellent musician, and a black...
Hilarity
I was watching the daily show today and this was one of the segments. I found it hilarious and LOL’d for a short while at John Oliver. Very funny, so I’m passing this hilarity onto you you guys. :)
The Daily Show With Jon StewartM - Th 11p / 10cThe Poisonous Queencomedycentral.com
Oh, and today was pretty cool.
Oh My Goldfish.
Nothing really happened today. I burned my mouth on a pasty and it hurts.
So I’ll leave you in the frankly genius and oh so capable hands of Ivo Papasov :)
If I could play woodwind, that’s how I would roll. :D
Now I’m off to watch The Daily Show, Seth Rogan is on it tonight!! :D Gotta love Seth Rogan.

Sup homie-G-biznizzle-atches fo'shizzle
Yeah, I’ve noticed that the number of quality posts that people actually comment has fallen sharply. Time to get these fingers workin (shut up Sean).
Well, even that’s gonna be difficult, because i got my finger wedged in the gate latch today when Sean and Cowler were running from Liam. But that’s for later, I chronologicalise my stories. So yeah, this day started off, shit...
This is something I made in my studio time today,...
ALALALALALALALA!
That’s the sound of a terrorist singing. Or ya mum.
So, it was last period today. Everyone fucked off home except me and Lizzy. So we sat around for aaaages being bored. It was like O_____o So i decided to try and teach her polyrhythms. Ha. I didn’t give up though, and in the process of teaching her made her listen to lots of Dream Theater. And she didn’t seem to mind it really,...
Arrrgh
Ive spent the last couple of hours joining twitter, and then spending ages going through lots of html to try and get the little widget on the right side of my blog. This is impossible! So you’ll have to make do with it at the bottom under the next page bit.
Today’s been fun I guess. IT was boring without Lizzy and others, but we made it. Then at lunch we were throwing a ball and bits...
Exciting times lay before us people
SHROOMVILLE IS COMING. TAKE PART IN A COMMUNITY THAT CARES.
Let me ellaborate. Fred, Jack and me (dont you think Jack needs a funny name too?) are creating a country…that’s inside a village. Hence the ville in Shroomsville. It’s weird I know, but boredom apparently makes people do this. I was only told at lunch that I was one of 3 leaders of this new country. And I was all like...
WOOP
I’m in a pretty rad mood today :) I went shopping this morning and got new jeans, shoes, Powerslave and Piece of Mind by Iron Maiden (FUCKING EPIC ALBUMS! I RECOMMEND TO ANYONE TRYING TO GET INTO IRON MAIDEN OR JUST GOOD ROCK) and I also got Ninja Gaiden II which I haven’t got around to playing yet but I played the demo and it looks pretty epic also. So atm, I’m rocking out to...
Tiredness
I’ve been really tired recently, so I haven’t really been in the mood for typing loads. My mum thinks it’s because I’m not eating enough or getting enough energy, which is true i suppose. I don’t know how she’s gonna force feed me at school. Meh.
Everyone was really depressed today as well. We all got results and loads of people kinda failed. I’m...
Oh dear
I can’t be arsed to be bloggin tonight :/ So here’s an artical I piked from Ultimate-Guitar.com.
Iron Maiden’s manager, Rod Smallwood, posted an update on the band’s website to address the riots that took place outside of the band’s show in Bogota this weekend. 111 fans were arrested during the riots, reports BBC News. Hundreds of fans without tickets attempted to break into the venue...
OH SWEET JESUS!
MY HAIR HAS GONE! :O Not all of it, that would be stupid. But meh. :(
I just lost $400 on poker as well :/. Oh well! I don’t think I’m gonna be beating Jack any time soon, although it is getting close between us 3 (me, jack and bennett). To be honest, I only got $14,000 through daily bonuses :) shh.
My Chemical Romance [GAY] are doing the main song for the soundtrack for the film...

Raining raining raaaaaiinnn
Yeah, it is raining. I was gonna ask Sean or someone if they wanted to go out today as well. Oh well. I need a new game for xbox, cos I completed Alone In The Dark a while ago and now I’ve got like nothing left to play except Forza, and I’m just bored of that. But I keep going to Blockbuster for some cheap new games but there’s like nothing good. Anybody have any advice?
I...
Meh
I really wanna talk about this really fun day I had today. It was very fun n all. But as soon as I got in I just felt a bout of really bad depression coming on. So I decided to have a mini film night and watch hod rod again, so I went to the Co-op to get some microwave popcorn. I got home and I was really depressed, I could barely bring myself to watch Hot Rod, even though it’s a great film....
Ok, here’s my multi-track recording piece....
MEEP!
The other day I bought 2 Dream Theater albums, which cost me £20 :(
BUT, the albums are fuckin amazing. One of them has two discis, and the second disc is just one song…and it’s 42 mins long. ^______^ I love loving what everyone else hates!
Today, I also finished my multi-track recording coursework for Music Tech! woop! I might post it up soon, after I’ve read the specification...
EEEEEEPPPPP!!!
Guess what festival I’m going to this year!! :D

4) I went to Reading last year and variety is good.

Pretty funny song from Incredibad, thought...
ugh, homework day.
Yup, it’s the time in half term where you realise that teachers can be real arseholes and give too much homework. And I didn’t write down all the politics homework and Sean’s gone to some army camp thing so I can’t ask him what it was :/ fuck
oh well. Movin’ on.
Joe Satriani has created a new ‘Supergroup’ with ex-Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony and...
I have a hench headache
I’ve been trying to find a music related work experience place for hours and i have a really bad headache :(
I’m only doing this blog so that i can get away from it all. At least there’s probably someone else out there who has no idea what they want to do.
And I have the line from the song Dreamgirl in my head where he says “Girl, how d’you get those mousetraps...
