Rise above the crowd....

...and wade through toxic clouds"

Oh man, got the new Muse album 'The Resistance' the other week. It's friking brilliant. So different from the last album. It's quite electronic based as opposed to 'Black Holes and Revelations' which had a sort of Spanish tone to it. Standout tracks for me so far would be 'Uprising', 'Undisclosed Desires', 'Unnatural Selection' and the first part of the 'Exogenesis' symphony. Truly epic. The rest are growing on me pretty quickly also. God I'm getting tickets as soon as it's stated that they're coming here.

In other news (lol) I stretched my left ear to 8mm this morning. Holy f*** did it hurt. So much more than 4mm. It's still aching now even. It looks pretty good though. It's a black taper around and inch and a half long. I'll leave it as an 8 for a while I think. I'll go onto a 10 once my right ear has been stretched. Which might be a while cause it was only pierced about 4 weeks ago.

My band has made some awesome progress. We're sounding really good now and our batch of covers is coming together nicely. We've resolved most of our timing issues and even started a new cover today. 'Bohemian Like You' by the Dandy Warhols. It's like the easiest song ever but it sounds real good. Basically pulled it off in one jam session today. Epic. We even had an audience. My mum and sister and a couple of my friends came round to watch. Hope you guys enjoyed the show. We'll be even better next time -_^ Can't wait for next Sunday now, haha.

End transmission.

Hey thanks ^^
Glad you like it.
:iconandy-t-robinson:
You'll be proud.
Im trying to learn Stellar on guitar
:iconauntyrichie:
You beast ^^
I haven't actually tried to learn Stellar. How's it going? Is it hard?
:iconandy-t-robinson:
Its a bit fiddly, but its not too bad I have to say.
I've been meaning to listen to some Incubus actually, Stellar is the only song I know D=
:iconauntyrichie:
Incubus is brilliant. You'll probably find you know more songs than you think. I recommend the album 'A Crow Left of the Murder'. It's ace. Either that or 'Morning View'. But any album is fine cause they're all great.

Yeah, I thought it would be tricky considering how the main riff sounds. It'd be mainly slides wouldn't it? To get that Asian type sound.
:iconandy-t-robinson:
I went and bought the greatest hits album today, with the code for more online stuff, so I'm sure I will be hooked soon xD

Its not as much the slides that are tricky, its the 2 bends you have to do in the riff that add the stress. It's not like they're full bends or anything, you've gotta find the right pitch
