Lately I've been doing alot of sitting in my house, which is boring. I've been making alot of music, playing alot of video games haha.
Christmas was pretty cool, I got a TV and Reason 4. I thought I might aswell make some tunes, and they can be found here LoneWolf
The Refined I Am ep me an Mike have been working on is nearly done now, vocals on most of the tracks. It'll be release early this year on Power Negi, check out the tunes:Refined I Am
New Years eve was kind of alright, speant it with some of my best friends and my wonderfull girlfriend Chess, shame there had to be some idiots involved, but thats how life works.
I finally got round to getting a PS3, I've got to say, I'm impressed. Straight away when I plugged it into my new HD tv, I knew it was a world above Xbox, graphics wise, play wise, and media wise (DVD is dead dude!). The online is a bit of a step down from the Xbox, but only slightly. The only thing that I don't like is that my friends have to be online for me to look at their COD4 stats haha. I got 'home' that everyones raving on about, and I think its great, even though alot of people don't. It's a free program, and it come in very small files, but the graphics are just brilliant. I even went as far as buying some clothes for my little guy (i speant £5 on it...i suck). The mini games on it are great, its cool going bowling, or playing pool whilst interacting with others, especially if your friends have it too. I've yet to play checkers or chess, but the arcade machines are cool, I'm just waiting for the Red Bull Air Race game to get uploaded. I'm going to get Skate this weekend to prepare me for when Skate 2 comes out, I can't tell you how excited I am for it. Hopefull going to invest in Little Big Planet too, if its as good as everyone says i'm sure I won't be disapointed.
I've been listening to some wierd music lately, really really gone off modern hardcore, but I've been going that way for the best part of a year now. So many kids getting into rubbish and rediculous bands, it pisses me off. The only credible hardcore bands are those doing something different and a bit rough at the edges, not these sugar coated rehashes of the past. It's the lyrical content that winds me up as well, it makes me want to laugh and be sick at the same time;
'I've had enough of your hatred, your mentality sucks, you're way to negative. I thought we were all here for fun, not to compete and beat each other up? Lets take the put downs and leave them behind, and set forth with open minds.'
These are the actual words to a 'Set It Straight' song....hardly 'Break Down the Walls' is it really, although they probably think its just as good.
Been listening to a lot of noise rock and grunge for some reason. Also been listening to early Cave In and Converge, love late 90's metalcore. Converge are probably my favourite band, but I've never been able to get into their earlier work till now. Kind been listening to more punk/garage rock stuff, alway listened to the Stooges and early Bowie when growing up (my mums favourite), but I'm really liking some more modern stuff like The Shitty Limits and Jay Reatard (album link on the post bellow). Also been listening to Necrophagist loads, they are so sick its unreal, musically and sonically and they have one of the best metal guitar tones ever put to tape. Been getting back in to grind aswell, dug out some Assuck, Swallowing Shit, Nasum and Dahmer. Given a lot of plays to The Ergon Carousel aswell, who are new signing to Holy Roar Records, ex member of Beecher and Narcosis (who made possibly my favourite grindcore album ever, 'Romance'); they are super fast, made up of members of two super good bands and deserve you attention.
