Just back from seeing Red Stars Parade and eye. Was fooking awesome, as I hope my hangover tomorrow attests to. That is, before I go and do the whole thing again in Aberdeen.
Also had the distinct pleasure of chatting to _elliott_ and explaining to her that when as Scotsman asks "what are ye drinking?" he is not merely politely enquiring after your beverage of...

Thanks for commenting on my set!

love ya hun! 
love ya hun! What follows is my Tour Diary. Be warned, it isn't short:
Saturday 5th August - Edinburgh
Woke up on Steve's couch after a variable and bucky-fuelled last minute practise the previous night. Steve surfaced around mid-day and we spent the afternoon in town getting last minute supplies for the forthcoming week. This accomplished, Guss came around to Steve's with the van and we loaded it...

So I tried to give blood last week. But it turns out my Haemoglobin count is slightly too low, so I couldn't give and was advised to go see my doctor. Tomorrow I have to go to the clinic nurse for the lovely body fluid tests. Niceness.
Still... Two more days of work, then two weeks off, including our Toooour!!! Can't fucking wait. Dates...

Have fun on tour, man. Sorry I missed you in Edinburgh but good luck with the rest of the dates.

At the moment I am addicted to Lineage 2.
It was my mates fault. He gave me a taste, then ......... it was too hard to stop.

I'm felling kinda bummed. Motion, the drummer in Allergo and Brickshithouse died at the weekend, he was only 20.
I can't pretend we were close friends, but I had the pleasure of hanging out with him when Brickshithouse played Edinburgh back in May and I filled in on Bass. After the gig, we proceeded to hit Edinburgh's "Pubic Triangle" and proceeded to bond over that...

I'm so sorry, man. It's always shitty when someone that young goes. My next beer's for him 
_elliott_:
i didn't know motion, i only knew of him and what i knew made me quite sad to hear what had happened as he clearly was someone who had a lot going for him and a lot of friends who will miss him.
i was going to rip the piss out of you because of your stupid tattoo, but i can do that another time

Thank you, man! I was starting to think I had imagined them. "Waiting for rain"'s my favourite, too. I was in India a few months ago and whenever the heat got to be too much, that song would start playing in my head. Weird, no?
_elliott_:
aye, typical girl tattoo eh. cherry blossoms...whatever next? a couple of swallows on my chest perhaps?
Mixing on the New Ix Cd was completed last night. A copy is winging it's way to me via snail mail and I can't wait. Is it incredibly narcissistic when the record you're most excited about hearing is your own? Maybe, but I don't care.
Two weeks until the tour! Woo!
The beard is slowly returning...

Any chance of me hearing a sneak preview?
Also, what's happened to Sludgehead? It's all quiet without him.

Recording went pretty well.
My guitar playing was a bit sloppy, but with the magic of computer recording, i got there in the end. Young Neil was, as always a masterclass in understatement and taste. The boy just feels riffs like no man alive. Our keyboard player Steve experimented more with sounds this time, and also laid down some tasty lead guitar in places ("Sleeper"...

Tomorrow Fiona is doing my review at work! Im so drunk I hope am sober by then 
takeahnase:
Ah, cheers, man, it's much appreciated. I've noticed the new layout starting to act up, I take back my previous praise. I really can't wait to hear the new stuff, you can't go wrong with My Dying Bride, but it sounds so much more interesting than just that. Keep on...dooming?!
Well, off to Eburg again for Ix Recording Part 2: This Time It's The Guitars!
Crapping myself, but it's all good.

May have mentioned already that i'm really looking forward to hearing the new stuff.
New week and I'm completely unrecovered from the weekend. Pesky insomnia!
Still the fatigue makes me unexpectedly magnaminous, since I'm making my band's last demo, Mythopoeia, available to any sod brave/masochistic enough to download it from here.
Wer're currently working on the follow-up and it's a corker!

You're a good man, thanks for putting that up. And given that I got the new Unearthly Trance and Facedowninshit LPs in this morning, it looks like I've got a nice doomy day ahead of me. Take it easy and thanks again.
sludgehead:
I would download it, but as I already own a well played copy I don't think i'll bother.
Insomnia fucking sucks, I suffered from it for about ten years.... then it just went over night, strangely I kind of miss it.

Thank you! I'm stoked to be a favorite!
sludgehead:
I like Beer, Doom Metal, World of Warcraft and Pale-yet-interesting Women.
I like all of those, I didn't think you liked beer though! I thought you liked lager.
