I'm fatter, though I could be fatter still...


50 loops, man that has the large possibility of sounding like absolute shite. Then again Freddy Mercury used a 48 track for all of the Bohemian Rhapsody vocals. Mad!

Yeah going to see Shihad tomorrow, and Dai Henwood's MCing, I think I'm more excited about Dai than Shihad haha.

Speaking of comedians, I should go and watch this DVD I've got infront of me, maybe I'll tell you what I think of it.
You heard of a guy called Ricky Gervais?
I dunno covers a bit sexual for my tastes, I mean what is he planning on doing to that little tiger cub?

wow. that's the nicest thing i've heard in a long time. thank you. i feel kinda stirred to record some more after that actually. but yes i know the feeling, or at least something similar.

i've been doing well though, keeping busy and enjoying the way that life seems to be unfolding at present.

the name of the book alone intrigues me, i have a huge list of 'to read' books but a good recommendation takes it straight to the top.
what is it about?

hey ya

i'm really digging that gotye cover, dare i say it's better than the original.
This City Sunrise have a new song up.





Jul 14 2008 6:06 PM

Haha. But a Gay sunrise is totally like. It's gay.

But yeah, I feel where you are coming from. Rad about the show. Where is it at?

We'll be finishing guitar tracks to the third song we've been demoing tonight. We usually record everything live, but we opted to do this stuff multitracked. It's sounding awesome thus far, bigger than the EP even. Haha. I really want a lot of your input vocal wise. Alex and I have been trying to think really outside the square, so we need advice. Yurr.
