Hey everybody, so we are enjoying making this music. I would say stuff like ‘working hard’ or ‘really progressing as a band and friends’ but I am not like that and to be honest, me and Mitch spent most of the recording time playing Atari games and drinking peach schnapps. Aside from songs I have posted, here are some of the tracks that are getting the treatment and a little synopsis. Nothing too detailed as this comes right from an email I sent Mitch.

Karma Suits Ya - Anthem about ending a relationship on bad terms and the girl gets her comeuppance through comical events.

Homebound - The end of a summer vacation. A reflection on the fruits of angst and adolescence. The last ride home and out of youth. Acoustic intro?

Alright By Me - Punchy song about best friend getting a great girlfriend and how  the relationship looks from the outside.

Public Display of Erection - Falling in love with a girl at first sight and dealing with a public boner.

The House That Time Broke (My Sandcastle) - Slower and more serious, this song is about the perils of broken homes in the modern age and how it’s seen from the eyes of a child.

Girls and Their Hang Ups - Confused with girls, the song is about how difficult it is to read the emotions of a girl when all you want to do is get laid.

Grace of the Webb - The aftermath of a relationship and how she has moved on and the feeling of being stuck in what she has left behind.

His Name is Stingray - Acoustic hidden track about a mythical love machine who can talk his way in to any club and any bed. Comical and smutty.

You’re Not My Friend - Centers around the friend you had in school who you no longer like but can’t get away from.

School Reunion - A house party in our 20s and everybody regresses back to teenage ways for one night.

WURD!!!

… you realise that 99% of a blogging platform is a cavalcade of underwhelming cluster fucks whose primary example for contemporary awareness is to display utter ignorance for their surroundings with multiple posts of personal messages to musicians they have never and will never share a relationship beyond FAN with which is a primitive and all together depressing turn of events for a generation born in to technology so advance that they can see their own demise from space. 

I hate people.

Sometimes 10 years can seem like it was just yesterday, other times it can seem like a lifetime has passed.

More to follow later today.

he wouldn’t be doing it.

thank you

If I gave you $500,000+ a year to go to Bieber concerts, you would be front and centre every night. If he’s not motivated MORE by the money then I will eat my hat.

So Here I Am.

It’s been a while, internet. I hope you missed me as much I am pretending to have missed you to account your lust for me, or something like that.

Since I last loitered this website, I have been recording music with my band. I took a long-ass train ride to Shanklin in the Isle of Wight. We turned out an old summer house, laid some carpet and hooked it up to be a home studio. After spending 10 days locked in there with an array of retro gaming and nostalgic pop music, we eloped back to society with a great set of songs and a few festival dates near enough secured. 

Coming up with ways in which to release our music was a fun. We toyed with various methods and decided on a cassette. 3 A-Side tracks and 2 B-Side for the world to enjoy.

Self produced deals like this come at a cost and we will still be selling for as little as we can. We hope to keep the cost under 2 bucks, only this time, we are also going digital. Worldwide fans can now purchase physical and digital versions of our shtick and show their friends, who, in-turn … will probably steal it from the buddy. But hey, who knows, maybe 20 years from now, whoever bought the cassette can flog it for a nice profit on ebay (assuming monetary value still plays part in the world).

Other than music, we welcomed back my brother from his 6 month teaching stint in Hungary. We watched the Superbowl and did not abandon our diets for a whole hour! Aside from food rebellion, we have played video games, watched movies and cleared the house of food.

Stay tuned for various clips and whatnot of our forthcoming release and get ready to rock some form of casbah with us. 

Boo Yah!

It’s no secret, I am a nerd when it comes to doing things with software and what not. I get a kick out of maximising the potential of a unit (ha, ‘unit’) with a little tinkering of the running software. 

Remember when Netbooks launched and people kind of said;

‘It’s a small, underpowered laptop … what’s the point?’
                                                     - Douchebags, World Over

The deal with that was not actually far off. Netbooks were running a dated operating system with about as much punch as Betty White doing the 100m sprint against Usain Bolt. The problem that the keen eye always saw was that the engine under the hood of these bad boys was not being utilised properly. With that, came the Hackintosh.

Billed as one of the most awesome realisations of the portable age, nerds from all corners took installing Apple software and fully loaded Operating Systems. You see, under the hood of the seemingly redundant machines was enough power to not only RUN OSX, but also start up MUCH faster and run almost shoulder to shoulder with a standard macbook.

Obviously the more demanding uses of the netbook (Video Editing) would sap the grunt away, but for somebody like me who blogs, video calls and streams media, maximising the potential with OSX has been a great feeling. 

When you consider a Macbook pitching standard at £850 and then look at my Netbook’s £200 price tag + £40 for the OS, you can see the saving made for a standard blogger such as myself. Heck, I know that with 3D rendering software and quality HD editing suites that I don’t stand a chance, but why pay the premium for lengths to which I do not go?

I love writing, video calling, browsing and keeping a calender running. So for what I invested, I feel I got my service and then some. It also means I can run garage band and podcast on the fly, BOO YAH!
