band covers

for a few weeks now me and a couple of mates have been having some amateurish jam sessions with the hope of maybe one day being ready to reach the masses and play some gigs.

until that day we are limited to a small room at my place - my "beat laboratory".
so far we've had a few weekly "band meetings" where we record bad versions of good songs :)

adam's on vocals and guitar
steve's on bass
and i'm on drums

as of yet we don't have a band name, but are open to suggestions.

here's a quick playlist of a few songs we've (badly) recorded

anyway i'll leave the playlist somewhere on the sidebar of my blog i've put a few of our covers to stream. feel free to give them a listen and see what you think.

leave a comment with what you think and/or if you have any good band name suggestions. also feel free to suggest some crowd pleasing songs we can try.
cheers!

[btw 10 cool points if you got the step brothers and flight of the conchords references - well done you!]

about me

first be sure to check out my first post.

ok, so why follow me or come back here?
i guess to answer that you need to learn more about me. ok here we go...

i'm 23, self employed and live in cornwall.

i'm a pretty big movie fan and will watch pretty much anything and like to keep up with movie news, trailers, reviews or any cool stuff.

i like all kinds of music really but i love seeing any music played live and i'm a massive music festival fan. i love drumming, playing guitar and am currently trying to band started with a few mates.

i guess i'm a pretty hardcore gamer. i've got all of the current generation consoles and i'll try pretty much anything fun, new or innovative.

i guess i am kind of a geek (hopefully the cool kind). i use both mac and pc and hope to post any cool tools/web sites/apps for both. my iphone is the best phone i've owned (as you'd expect for the newest i guess) so i'll probably recommend some cool apps for that too at some point.

i have a pretty wide sense of humor, and there's alot of funny shit online - so it's pretty likely i'll post anything here that makes me laugh.

i love watching my stories. favorites include lost, 24, dexter, fringe, flight of the conchords, mighty boosh, family guy, south park, screenwipe, spaced, peep show, there's too many to list them all.

if that's what your into then cool, but if not don't let that put you off. i'm hoping to cover pretty much anything that interests me - so if anything i've listed above interests you hopefully you'll come back once in a while.

hopefully this post gives you a vague idea of where i'm heading with this blog and with any luck there's at least something here your into.

now i'll try and end this post on a high after boring you - so congratulations if you read this far. if you like any of the above tings, then your gunna love deez tings:

first post

ok, so this is my new blog. i've been thinking of setting up a web site for a while now, but before putting in all the work for something i may only update once or twice would be kind of a waste of time. so i figured if i setup a simple blog first to find out:

a) if i'd update it
b) if anyone would read it
and c) 'cause i spend alot of time online and figured maybe i should try and give something back

i'm not really sure why. i don't think i have much to contribute to the public toilet wall that is the internet, but screw it i've got nothing to lose.

best case scenario i gain some new friends/followers (frollowers?) who are either interested in what i've got to say or just so bored they'll come here to kill some time or stop themselves from thinking for a few more minutes.
worst case scenario no one reads this and i have some weird online diary of what i was thinking at the time of posting. that or it's the crappy legacy i leave behind after i'm dead.

right now i'm not really sure if blogging is what i want but it's the easiest way for me to get started and share links, music, apps, thoughts, reviews and recommendations - which might be all i need to gain a small following which might push me into doing something bigger and better.

... either that or i'll go back to doing whatever it is that i do ...
