I can't get enough sleep at the minute. Even if I have a massive lie-in on my days off I still feel shattered. Keep drifting into semi-asleep at work, studio galleries with their dim lighting just make me want to sleep

You over training on the bike? That can fuck your sleep up!

I've just bought stuff for my first foray into PCB etching. Wish me luck!

Not really, I haven't ridden much this week due to work and weather. But on a normal week I'll do a short but fast 5-6 mile ride before or after work, then a 25 miler on one of my days off and if I'm lucky a mtb ride on the other day off. I don't really think that's too much but it was good to have a rest this week as my legs and arse are still sore from Wales still thinking about getting into running to mix it up a bit, road biking can get dull.

I have been passing out quite easily, but 14 hour work days will do that to you.

Jimmy died

The only amp of his I got to play was a 2 channel JCM800 and it was tits!!!!

Yarp. That was a motherfucker who knew what was what for the moast badass guitar sounds. Fucking legend.

Everyone should in tribute and reflection, go play Back In Black, Band Of Gypsys, Reign In Blood, Fair Warning, Appetite For Destruction, Beano, Machine Head, Ziggy Stardust, fucking et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You will run out of hearing before you run out of epic Marshall tonez recoardings.

That sounds an awful lot like rock to me. (Also, those all have the advantage of being good. And all distinct, identifiable flavours.)

To quote one of the aforementioned (though from a different record): we salute you.

That sucks.

ugh I keep having this knack of writing a riff that I can't program the drums to, they just feel wrong. The riffs kind of start on the last beat of the bar before or something like that, I can't really explain it but it's frustrating because I desperately want to get some new riffage recorded.

Play it to a click. I'll program the drums. Srsly.

Have you guys been seeing a lot of this: http://girlsthatlooklikeskrillex.tumblr.com/ ? There's a lot of it at my school. Kinda weirds me out and makes me feel like an old man. Like I'm in Bladerunner or some cyberpunk shit. Preppie / hipster girls with cyber punk hair. Cyber punk being interchangeable with punk rock/crack cocaine/rat chick hair...

Hmm. Well, I'm in Buffalo, so we're a few years behind the times. I'll be sure to let you know when our young people update to something more current than ironic trucker hats.

I suppose it's also a sign I'm old that this is more what I think re: cyberpunk (faux) hair:

Maybe that is cyber punk hair. I'm just thinking how I envision urban people to look while reading shit like Neuromancer...

Oooooh god i was so shitfaced last night. alex started calling everyone phaggots and i think i assaulted a cab driver.

I think I have it sorted now but thanks for the offer

Programed a simple drum track and a simple bass line... copy pasted until its 10 min long, jam'd twice = a decent afternoon

Atleast I was productive at something today

I got incredibly wasted this weekend. The double bank holiday always fucks me up.

I only got smashed on Thursday as I've been working the rest of the bank holiday

Total fucking oblivion here
We even managed to cook a chicken upside down!

My Easter sucked. Wait, did we already talk about it? Well, I'll say it again: It sucked.
