Hee hee. My bandmate's just sent me roughs from the first weekend of recording. This is gonna slay!

Saw Revenge Of The Sith last night, and despite convincing myself it was gonna suck big time, it stood up as a good, if not excellent film. I'm not gonna say it makes up for the first two, but i'm reminded of the King of the Swamp Castle in Monty Python And The Holy Grail:

Practise on Friday night went really well, the final arrangements for the pieces for the demo seemed to be pretty tight and it seemed that recording would go off without a hitch. After practise, I went back to Hamish's with him and Neil, watched the...

Well, this is me packing my bags for a trip to Das Kapital.

Tonight I have band practise and then over the weekend we'll be doing the first part of recording our first demo, tentatively titled "Mythopoeia".

The weekend was... hazy.

Back to work today, feeling a little crappy. Ah well, birthday number 28's just another day.

Well this is me getting ready to head south and visit my folks for a sorta pre-birthday thing.

Then Saturday I'll be headed to Edinburgh for some utter braincell annihilation. Should be fun.

Back from my epic journey to the wilds of erm, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Electric Wizard and The Capricorns were ace, but the two local support bands were the highest order of rank (well ok, the second act were merely mediocre). Where does Twisted Ape find these bands?

Edinburgh was kinda fun, stayed sober and somehow managed to have a laugh in spite of it.

Haven't been updating this thing because... fuck all of interest has been happening in my life.

However, I am going to see Electric Wizard tomorrow night, and I plan to go see Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy on Friday.

Then the weekend will come with it's normal shennaigens. IX jam on saturday followed by my return to DJing.

In a little over a week I'm...
