Yesterday, one of my bands- Disciple 32- were offered a gig at Leeds Met. I am unbelievably excited, yet so nervous! I cannot believe we've been offered this opportunity! So many greats bands have played/yet to play there!
I'm still a bit patchy with 'routine' blogging. I apologise...I say I will blog but I never end up doing so.

I also found out on Wednesday that I should never be allowed to shotgun the passenger seat. Me and my very good friend, Rachel were heading to Leeds for some food. Rachel didn't know where she was going so I, being the smart arse, said I would direct. That plan failed. I took us off at the wrong junction and we practically ended up at where we started. It took us an hour to get to Leeds, instead of about 20 minutes. Happy days.

I've still got two re-drafts of coursework to do. One of them has to be in on Monday. I'm screwed. I don't blame it on the sunshine or the moonlight. I blame it on the drum kit. Sorry Michael, kids are surprising themselves y'know!

Hoping to get a couple of acoustic side projects started- I may have to sing in one of them. Oh Lord, behold this travesty that is embarked upon us.

Taken is a brilliant film. Watch it.

Let's see what the most played song is on my iTunes... *drum roll*...
Morning After Dark- Timbaland.

Actually, no surprise there. It is a pretty good album.
I also went to see Hot Chip on Tuesday at the O2 Academy. Wow. They were ace! Put on a great show and set such a good atmosphere. Check them out if you haven't already; they've been around for ages and they all look like mis-matched mates who go to the pub quiz every Friday night to escape their wives.

Sherbet Lemons; thank you Bertie Bassett.

YouTube.

It's been a long time, world.
As always, my life has been JAM PACKED with crazily safe activities!
Both bands are now on a roll again! Yipee! I have to admit, even if I do get a little nervous before a gig, the buzz from it afterwards is amazing! No matter how good or bad it goes or how big or small the venue is, the thrill! Woo
I'm also addicted to YouTube now. Especially the channel, CTFxC. Charles Trippy and Alli Speed may be normal Florida folk but they're so inspirational and have so many dedicated fans that watch their videos each day. I'm kind of tempted to start make my own vlogs, but I don't own a decent camera at all and my technological skills of editing videos ain't too great. But you never know, you could see me at number one on YouTube...watch this space...

Music-wise, Dubstep is the word. Filthy beats. Disciple 32 are getting a synth in a week, which is totally going to mix things up! Very excited to throw some dirty basslines in the mix. Ha, I sound so silly.
I'm now a member of DailyBooth- DrummerLaura
No idea how to use it, as most things but uploading funny pictures of my face most days could be quite fun!

Yesterday (Saturday), I bought two books. One on Antimatter- that's right, I'm going hardcore! The other is called 'The QI General Book of Ignorance' and it's fantastic! I'd definately recommend buying it! It basically corrects all the facts that we presume are correct. For example; What is the loudest thing in the Ocean? Incorrect answer: Blue Whale
Correct Answer: Shrimps
Reason: The sound of the 'shrimp layer' is the only natural noise that can 'white out' a submarine's sonar, deafening the operators through their headphones. The noise of the collected shrimps amounts to 246 decibels!
You get the picture...

Music recommendations for this post...A Day To Remember- for all you popcore/hardcore fans!
Only 'cause I'm having to use a double bass pedal in band now!
And for a different genre...Timbaland. Got a soft spot for that album right now (minus a couple of tracks that aren't so great, one of them being that bitch, Miley Cyrus)

Can you tell I'm addicted to BOLDING THINGS?!
