I got bored, and since blogging is an utterly new phenomenon for me I thought I'd do something exciting and thats right make another post. (I know it's not really exciting- I was being sarcastic, after all sarcasm is the backbone of british society -isn't that right Mr Spock -I know you can hear me) If you wanna know more about us well, tough titties you're not gonna get it cos, you see simply put, you could damn well be one of those ass wrenching peedo-whores who likes to look at pictures of little boys as a form of evening entertainment. But... if you wanna know more about the clockwork well here is some more information served up on one of those platters you get in cartoons. Imagine sitting at a fancy dining table and having a butler take the lid of a shiny silver dish and presenting you the following:
Me and Dan have been buddies since before the discovery of the antipodes (thats pronounced ant-ip-od-ees by the way not antipoads as some dimwits think) that was a joke, as you should understand if you know what the hell I'm talking about. (If you don't, don't worry you're not stupid, after all, nowadays- everybody is a success!) We are both drummers, skin bashers, tub bangers, stick clashers whatever you want to call us. When we get together we like to go crazy, jamming with drum and bass and maybe even a bit of jazz (I just love Miles Davis) but mainly we're into rock music when it comes round to playing... which usually occurs in either one of our bedrooms... a list of those artists who we have been what you might call inspired by might include R.E.M., (can I put a comma next to that or does it look a bit weird?) Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Arctic Monkeys (despite a growing dislike for Alex Turner's lyrics). (I never know where to put the full stop, after brackets or before them.). But basically I like all sorts of music and allsorts of fruit sweets put in a bag by Bassetts (but not the liquorice sort - I hate them - I nearly died of joy when the fruit ones came out). Both me and Dan are in our GCSE year currently, yes I should probably be revising for my Geography exam tomorrow.
As for band operations, generally I write chord sequences, I play a little piano, add a little percussion and organize anything electronic, Dan plays lead drums (he's mind blowingly fast) and a little guitar and likes writing stuff as well, which leaves a space open for lead guitar, a spot which we hope to fill fairly soon.
As for now, I'm just gonna write about stuff that interests me, generally music but I might add a little other detail in every once in a while. My key opinions are as follows:
1. Lyrics should be epic and spectacular, but also have meaning - not about Sheila going out with her mate Stella.
2. Razorlight released a cracking first album, but their second was shocking.
3. Radiohead have got better and better with each album.
4. There is nothing nicer than chicken satay.
5. Roxy Music are cr*p on record but brilliant live.
6. Lost is the best ever television show.
7. A scottish accent is dead sexy.
8. Sabian is better than Zildjan.
9. Roland is better than Yamaha (sorry Dan)
10. A good song can be ruined by overdriving the guitars.
11. Finally... More people should listen to These New Puritans and Sunshine Underground.
Cheers if you're reading this, the only reasons I'm writing it are: a) I'm bored, b) When we're famous, you can look back at this blog and say 'What tw*ts they used to be!?"
