...I recently made a rather hilarious post for Kaytei's blog. I personally think it's very funny, I hope you do to.
I realise I haven't made a post for a few days, I couldn't really think of anything to post about in terms of music (as I like to accompany a post with a song) but now I have had that very epiphany.
Simon Payne (local legend) has become incredibly amazing at guitar within only a few months of playing and can play many songs I find tricky (I have been playing around 2 years) incredibly well, most recently of which is the song Laid To Rest by Lamb of God. I think this would be an ideal cover song for our band, because not only is it fun and awesome it is also "da metulz" and would give us good credibility as a band. But BMTH did a cover of Slipknot's Eyeless and people still think they're shit. So I guess "haterz gonna hate".
Last week has been brilliant. Simon, Horatio and Steve got back from France on Saturday and we have spent all of this week together being right lads. On sunday we went to Horatio's house, went to town for Greggs, went to Simon's for Nazi Zombies, decided that as much as I tried to be Gryffindor I turned out to be Hufflepuff and therefore addicted to pies, and then saw Harry Potter. On monday the guys came round mine for a jam and band stuff (both Phase 9 and Jane Doe) and then much later went swimming at the Surrey Sports Park, at which we witnessed Jacob's amazing diving skills. Yesterday we went to Abbie's party (Jacob's college friend) and had a right lol (I swear I didn't chug vodka and feel the need to give everyone hugs whilst rather drunk). We went back to Jacob's shed for Xboxing and antics at around 12 or 1a.m. and I sang two wonderful renditions of Umbrella and Misery Business, which Jacob may have recorded some of. Today we stayed around his playing more xbox until 2 or so when went to town for some more Greggs and then back to Horatio's where we watched Torchwood and then went home... AND HERE I AM.
That's me. T'rah :)

Human Violence At It's Finest...
...And I Want More.
A lyric from Suicide Silence there. I figured it was rather relevant given the Norway bombing the other day. The guy was such a megalomaniacal fascistical moron that even his own defense lawyer went on the news saying that his "client is insane." Even his lawyer had given up on him. Says a lot.
Suicide Silence write a lot about humans being a dispicable and horrific race and that "I Want More" part means he wants to see the human race rip itself apart and destroy itself to prevent us from inflicting anymore harm upon the world. I'm guessing this of course, it is merely an educated guess.
And for all you lovely people, here is the song that that lyric comes from, bewilderingly titled...
... Human Violence. Off their new album "The Black Crown." Must get ma hand on a copy (legally, obviously), but I've been a bit strapped for cash recently. Ooh, I'll ask for it for my birthday, which is only a couple of weeks away now. WOO!
It's weird that I'm not yet 16 and yet all my friends are. All in good time, all in good time...

"Once You Go Black, You Go Deaf"
After the old wii broke we now have a new wii! ... And it is BLACK! Although it is still a wii, so therefore a letdown on many levels. BUT IT LOOKS SO COOL... I'd still rather have an xbox :(
Had a sleepover yesterday with George (if there are any messages on social networking sites that are stupid/offensive then I apologise) and we played New Super Mario Bros, which we all died a ridiculous amount on, and then watched Jaws 2, Shaun of the Dead and Independence Day. Man, that sounds way too girly for a guy sleepover.
Oh, apparently Amy Winehouse has died (no doubting what of). I guess when she was actually making music and not being a media whore she was pretty good. It's a shame when people waste their lives like that though.
In more uplifting news I now have a member-follower-type-person-majig-wotsit-thing. THANK YOU.
And now, I shall bugger off.
T'rah!

"It'll Be Tomorrow By Today"
Today I has another band practice (the last one was yesterday, although only Jacob was there yesterday) with George (drums) and Jacob (bass). I'm guitar and vocals, by the way. We went through a coupla songs today, and taught Jacob his third song as a new addition to the band. Yesterday he learnt "Oxymoron" and today he learnt "Crying Wolf". The other song he knows is "Black Light". Apparently George [everyone] is sick of that one coz it's the first one everyone learnt, and is kinda complicated so took feck ages to learn/teach.
I'm really thrilled at the progress that we've made, especially Jacob. To be honest I'm sick and tired of sitting around as a band and not being able to do gigs. Soon that shall be changed. I'll give you guys (if there are any, which there aren't) a shout when that happens. That sentence is kinda pointless. So is this blog. NO ONE IS READING. BLABALABABLABALA! BALBALABALBALABLABLA! BALLS! BALLS! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS!
I AM A STUPID COMPUTER GRAPHIC, AND I LIKE TO EAT POOP!

This is genius, and I am tired.
T'rah.

Ventriloquism
It's the name of a song I just finished writing. As you can expect from my first couple of posts it's heavy (as fuck) with a decent bouncy riff. And it's about zombies. I mean, it's kinda sceney and possibly a bit corny/cheesey, but hell, zombies are just cool. It's also written from the zombie's perspective (sounds pretentious, I know), but it's really angry and violent. METAL!
At some point I will record the songs I have written with my band and make a MySpace for it and all that other internet junk. Seen as only my close friends know, my band is called Jane Doe (-the name they give a woman when she is unidentifiable upon death, or just generally unknown). I personally think it is a really cool name. But yeah, that's all I have to say on the matter.
Reminded today when Jacob came round for a jam about this iconic Sonisphere 2011 moment. Seen as it's one of the few songs Jacob properly knew by Slipknot, so when the opening riff started we both went varying degrees of mental.
Enjoy it.
T'rah. I'm off to watch Jaws.

"Periphery! Love that shit!"
Yeah, one band that my friends keep bugging me about because they've seen them live and I haven't is Periphery. For those of you who don't know, they are a sort of figure-head for the new metal genre of "djent", named after the guitar sound.
You're probably sitting there right now making that noise and seeing if it works. Well it does.
They played on the saturday of Sonisphere and unfortunately I was unable to see them, as I was only allowed to the sunday, as I am yet to turn 16 and become an adult in the eyes of U.K. law. Only a month to go though. And you wouldn't believe it if you saw me. BUT, the point is, that Periphery are amazing and my friends have been rubbing it in my face for the past 6 F***ING MONTHS! I know, my language is appaling.
Anywhore, I wanted to show you why they have been the forefront of me and my friends attention for the past year or so.
This is probably their most famous song (how mainstream) and indeed, one of their best.
And seen as I'm obssessed with them, here's another of The Defiled's songs;

I used to think this song wasn't as good compared to their others, but then I realised that this album has no bad songs. And this chorus is, to me, haunting. I absolutely love his singing voice.
Yeah, that's me done.
T'rah.
