Jim’s leak.

I have to say, after watching series one and starting to watch series two recently, this is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. If you haven’t seen it, you should, in fact dont bother reading the rest of this go and watch it now. Its basically about 4 students living together in a flat, all guys, a hippie (Neil), a metalhead (Vivian – great name lol), “the cool person” (Mike) and a punk (Rick). I have to say nothing has made me laugh so much for aaaaages. Definitely well worth a watch. Neil is probably the best though.

Got up stupidly early to go into school far too early to revise for an exam that started around 8:45. So I went in and met my mate Joe and we talked maths for a while, realising we actually had a lot to go over. The exam was stupidly difficult and altho I thought I understood the topics before going into the exam, I came out realising I didnt. However it was my last exam until June, which is damn cool.

Oh well, came home after that and setup my drumkit for the first time in aaaages, before Christmas was the last time its been setup at home. Played on that for a while, wasted a few hours, Sam and Charlotte came round and we had band practice for the firt time in aaaaaages aswell. We have done a recording session but other than that its the first time weve played together since before Christmas and it was great .

We’re well on the way to finishing another two songs. One of which has more of a classic rock feel to it and the other has a real driving marching rhythm and a great keyboard led melody. Special Price and I Fear Nothing are the titles, you might hear some soon!

Spent most of today at work, which admittedly wasn’t that bad because we spent most of the day looking at Chuck Norris lines on the net Other than that I’ve done nothing but avoid Maths revision. Yay. Which just means tomorrow will have to be spent doing more maths revision than I would have had to do if I had done it today. Oh well.

On the upside I did manage to upload a photo which I took of the sunset looking down my road on my way home from school a couple of weeks ago. Helps me forget about stupid things like maths exams

Totally amazing band, both live and recorded.

On 9th January 2006 they released their third album, titled Inhuman rampage, which is now 43rd in the Amazon.Co.Uk’s top100 selling albums, the album at 45th is Robbie Williams’ Greatest Hits, ha, lol.

Last year Dragonforce pretty much sold out 3 consecutive Thursdays at the Camden Barfly, London, even though their support act was terrible and everyone knew they would be terrible.

On 3rd February 2006, Dragonforce are playing at the London Astoria, which is a 1200 capacity venue, this gig has already sold out. And they are being supported by Edguy, a very reputable central European Power Metal band.
A band which constantly goes from strength to strength, Dragonforce just keep on getting bigger and bigger.

(Oh and I’d just like to point out that I have a ticket for their Astoria show in February )

Just a quick post to mention Incognito, the band I’m currently the drummer for.
Due to a few things that happened towards the end of 2005 the band got put on hold for a while over the xmas period so not much has happened. Also the onset of January exams made us put practices on hold for a little longer.

However! This does not mean to say we havent been doing anything! We managed to wangle some free studio sessions. So, last Friday we spent a few hours in the studio and we recorded Flee From The Demon which is currently being mixed down for us. (Thanks to Counterfeit Productions at West Herts College for all that). This session went amazingly well considering we hadn’t practiced since before Xmas, we had about a weeks notice for the session and only one thing had to be re-recorded.

We have a second session arranged for about 6 weeks time ish, possibly sooner I can’t really remember but we should be able to spend longer then and maybe get 2 or 3 more songs recorded. Maybe some new material! Just have to see what happens. We should be much more prepared for this session as we will be rehearsing/writing together again as of the start of February.

Lets hope 2006 carrys on being as successful as it has been so far for Incognito and hopefully there should be a chance to see us live soon!

Well hello there!

Just been watching a few episodes of My Name Is Earl. So I’ve watched episodes 1-6 and its looking pretty good, there are some damn funny sections in it but some of it seems a little dragged out. Hey I guess you get that in everything really, (except The Young Ones ). Anyway, I guess we’ll just have to see what happens it later episodes, I will comment more on that after I’ve seen a few more.

Did watch The Fottball Factory last night, it was actually a really good film. Initially I was expecting it just to be a generic football hooligan film with loads of violence, which could be entertaining for a while I guess but it does get boring. However I was surprised to find a film which actually had a fair bit of thought behind it and left the viewer thinking about sections of the film while the story unfolds. If you haven’t seen it, I strongly suggest you do, but be warned, altho there is thought behind it, it does get pretty violent at times, its an 18 for a clear reason.
