"Actually, I think what he would have wanted is to not have been thrown into a cement mixer."
This week is going to be uber-busy.
I have three gigs with two different bands. I have homework to do. I have lectures to go to. And I have it all this week. Yes. Aside from today and probably Friday, I'm barely going to have a minute spare. Well, okay, I'm probably going to have several minutes spare, if you're going to get all literal on me, but you know what I mean. Busy. Expect another completely stressed out post on the Thursday.
Am looking forward to gigs, though, especially the third one as it's with a different band that's got a completely unique sound (*lots* of synth, some crazy fucking high pitched vocals, plenty of white noise, and a healthy dash of ska). It's a shame that everyone in that band, including me, has other projects on the go, because, while obviously that kind of sound isn't going to break the pop charts, it's still got something about it. I reckon we'll keep gigging with that around Perth.
I find myself very impressed with the music scene around here, actually. Remember I talked about The Twa Tams? Well, for all the Buffy fans amongst you, it's kind of the same as The Bronze, live music-wise. Very talented unsigned bands with a sound that seems somehow unique to this area. (Certainly most of the bands don't sound much like the ones I hear around Liverpool and Chester). Particularly impressive are Chiweapon, a three-piece with a Red Hot Chili's kind of sound, the bassist having Flea's style right down. Most of the bands doing the circuit around here are basically people out of college, but if I had to pick two that were going to 'make it', and I'm obviously not allowed to pick anything I'm involved in myself as that would be biased, I would pick them, and Mexico, who have already made a bit of a name for themselves after playing in a Battle of the Bands in London a couple of months ago. (Think The White Stripes, but heavier, and without a woman).
Odd as it may seem, Perth is a pretty happening place. I think it's a music college thing, though.
I have money. This is never bad. Because I don't just have money for food, I have a little extra as well. I'm not some kind of capitalist or anything, but this makes me happy.
Going home on Saturday. Squee!
This song (Heart Of The Sunrise by Yes) opens with exactly, but EXACTLY, the same riff as 'Parallel Universe' by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Trust me. Download both and listen. I am right.
