Yes, posts are getting fewer and further between, which is a shame cos I'll probably miss things but as long as I post from time to time I guess the blog's worth something.
It's easter Monday, and I'm not long up - sleeping patterns are a state ha. A combination of being out clubbing on Friday and not getting in til nearly 5, then the clocks going forward the next night. Friday was good though. Didn't drink, and still had a great night. Went to a Rock tribute night - AC/DC tribute, Ozzy tribute, Gallus Cooper and Poizon. Didn't see much of AC/DC, Ozzy were awesome but their bass drum broke half way through the set - gutted! Gallus Cooper were really good again (saw them at the Kiss night in Lanark) but Poizon were a little disappointing. Should have had the Ozzy tribute headlining tbh.
After that we went to the ABC - Propaganda Friday's, forgot how good the music is! First time going to one in Scotland, honestly the best music set I've heard in there, was awesome. Have to take Chris sometime. We're going to see the Lafontaines in a couple weeks so can maybe go after that.
Night before that was open mic at the Crown - Did a couple of my songs and also did my first ever collaboration with Dan. Went well I think, our parents and Linzi's parents came, and Chris was out with a few of his friends. Was a good fun night. :) Dan and Linzi left early though so I ended up crashing at Craig's, then went out for a family lunch at Spoons the next day. It's always nice doing things as a family, and I was glad I went cos it was Erin's birthday party that night and I missed it cos I'd already planned the night.
Anyway, since then just been trying to get back on with College work... Getting toward the end now. List of things needing done:
Digital Musicianship - essay on the online musician, instructional videos with background to notation.
Project - Need to get another meeting with Laurie and start on written part. Maybe do another couple of videos and arrange meeting with tuned percussion teacher.
Performance - Learn songs. Changed the set a week or so back, worked from backing track for Subdivisions and Dance of Eternity which I've had to use to replace Universal Mind. sad to lose that track but getting on alright with Dance, about 2 mins into it. Also got to learn Selkies, and try and get the band playing it - I worry about Dave learning the bass for that but we'll see how it goes. Also a little worried about the double bass pedal stuff for me, been working heavily on it, practising most days and getting faster and more comfortable but still have a way to go for the Selkies stuff.
Teaching - Still got a few more lessons with Mum and Chris and even more with Jamie. Hardly even care what I'm saying in write-ups now, just wanna get it out the way. It's not like I'm gonna fail.
Of course, threatening all that is a renewed addiction to Champ Man. Downloaded the update and went Rangers to promote them up from div 3. It's now nearly 3pm cos they made me semi-pro when I got promoted and I'm trying to figure out how to move it back. Save game editor ain't working. Have to forget about it for now anyway cos I need to get back to work! Catch ye. (Y)
