The Day After

Captains log....stargate 2....Saturday the.....27th of January...Still in the gamma falopius star system due to turbulence in Spain and the extra weight of a cow and a big wheel of cheese..I am the lone survivour (until next week) of our mission to stay in a small cheesy scented room for 3 hours...
Yesterday we began our day by sitting on a brown leather chair with pants on it, and talking about a cover, but to no avail as we started to rock our socks off and admiring tenacious tom's new guitar which is sweet!! and i want it... anyway... we had manya ideas but we still haven't chosen one. we then went quiksy through little things in the track like the chords and adding a bass in. As stuff usually gets a little tiring and u start getting distracted by small things like how long is the longest thing in the world and what is it (no cheesy nob gags please) and could Jesus really walk on custard? i ended up leaving the big brown sofa with a butt crease and wandering between the two rehearsal rooms listening to the people rock their socks off and almost mine but i had special socks on that day which can tell you the time in Russian, Spanish and french, tell you when you need a shit and also electrocute you when you are having a heart attack, but they were malfunctioning. i then heard some tenacious d with my superhuman pigeon and managed to convince Daryl to let me play some on his acoustic. later, after the war on Iceland, i returned from battle in the town and had a listen to sum really funky stuff being rocked up in the big room of wonder...ous smell, and wonder and it was really cool and began a new game i like to call, bottle cap darts (details on bottom of page). successful shots from Adam gave him the championship belt and Affy in close second, i appallingly came 4th as 3rd was being saved for anyone else who wanted to enter who would ultimately be better than moi. after the full time mosh, i managed to piss mayor Robbie of CKYshire off by coming out of the room and shouting while he was practising (sorry dude). i then went into the small room of destruction and listened to the other band. i do believe they grabbed rock by the balls, swung it round like an aeroplane and gave it to Hitler for him to have his way with it. (translation) it was awesome like a awesome thing!
after lunch, team "I'm gonna rip your balls off and play table tennis with em and then put em up your arse so a team of surgeons have to take em out, using the power of our rock" began worky on finishing THE Flamenco track and begin a new thing......... song!(that's the one he was looking for). we developed our ideas after some metal and tried to remember what we had already done. i think it was a success and we dealt it some brownie points with yet again the man with a great plan, sir Joe of bury. once we had pretty much perfected it, we began on the new song. it is, in my opinion, beginning to be a piece of genius that not even Steven Hawkins and his saddle shaped universe could come up with..... saddle shaped? that's just him saying that in fact yes we are a saddle on the back of a giant cosmic donkey and Gods riding it up and down the galactic beach, feeding it toffee apple super novas. anyway..... it has a very funky feel to it and is quite heavy. i (captain of the starship SS more powerful than superman, batman, spiderman, and the incredible hulk put together) am on bass, tom (meister shredder, teacher and co-founder of the school of metal) scales and Alex 'lion' hart are on guitar and Sam 'animal' Collin-Arbon is on drums.
i think that the only thing not quite right with our tracks at the moment is that there aren't enough riffs being rocked up in the almigthy fashion of the songs. apart from that the songs are proving to become the eye of a tiger and the balls of a bear, or in normal terms, pretty dam cool/good.
later that night i went home listening to some Rodrigo y Gabriela and then playing some when i got in. and today i have practised some dream theater, and the new song we are doing, and will be practising some modes and scales.

peace out! \m/(^_^)\m/

Always a great read George, just make sure you include what worked well/less well and things you could improve upon next time - this will get you the highest marks...well done so far though. Joe
