Another real quick one cause I'm super busy and my computer is still being crap.
I finally managed to sort out all the fuck ups in the creative arts department at RMIT and talk to the guy who was supposed to interview me last year about the course I want to do this year. After months of leaving messages and going in and the guy being on annual leave I finally got him on the phone, explained what the deal was and a bit of my experience in the audio field. I was hoping that he'd let me come in and have a proper interview so I pulled out the big guns, like how we'd been recording in the sbs multitrack for the past week, how we played with Dave Graney the day before, Rob Roy this Friday and then a Headline at revolver in a couple of weeks. He said he didn't even know if there were any places left and he had to check up on some people before he could call me back in an hour or two.
Two and a half hours later he called me back, not to say that I could have an interview but that they'd accepted me on the strength of my application and the little conversation I'd had with him on the phone! So I start there in two weeks, learning all the stuff I need to know to be able to make a living from sound production!
Thans to everyone who came to check out the band on Sunday, sorry I was antisocial but my parents were there and I don't see them that often. They hadn't seen us play before and afterwards they were pretty impressed. Oh, to everyone who came, how good are Wagons? Imagine the sort of conversations that Henry Wagons must have with Dave Graney! They're both so... I don't even know what they are.
*edit* Oh, and sorry to anyone who may have come to Ding Dong last friday to see us play, Dan crashed his bike and got a concussion and broke his collar bone about an hour before we were soundchecking, so we had to cancel.

you looking doing at the whole kit and kaboodle with the audio or just the music?
i remember playing on a fairlight and it was so fucking much fun; synching the audio to daggy ads, such as the old honda ad when the f1 car turns into the integra....ahhhh, memories...
i dont think that theres anything worse than having an engineer completely fuck your sound, making how they envisage it should be..
i have to come and see you guys play, whens the next gig?
