i'm currently working on a 'remix' of the song [b]shadowgraphs[/b] by [b]phorous[/b]. the song features eswandy of bigRED.moment & linda of Lunarin on vocals. i really like the song alot so i decided to create more trouble for myself by asking Fuzz of phorous whether i could work on the song.
unfortunately, all the trks of the song were deleted, including the vocal takes so that meant me having to seriously start from scratch. really wished i had at least the vocals to work with.
i was somewat panicking in the studio when i tried to lay down the trks cuz i had a helluva time trying to figure out how to really freshen up the song. managed to get around 70% done...i think?
just hope the phorous guys & their fans will like wat i did, enough. *crosses fingers*
oh yah, u can download the original version at phorous' site: http://www.phorous.com" title="http://www.phorous.com" target="_blank"http://www.phorous.com
to the people that came & saw us for the first time, thank you for your applause & cheers.
to Concave Scream, it was a great pleasure & honour to gig alongside you guys(& hearing all the damn funny hair shaver jokes, prior to our soundcheck..~). of course, u guys rocked like hell sia...
to Willy(Aging Youth), thanks for giving us this oppurtunity to play there(we were lusting after Barnone for quite a while actually..hehehe).
to my dear friends, thank you for being there. seeing so many familiar faces there was really comforting & made me alot less nervous abt the whole gig. your presence there meant alot to me & the band.
that's how i feel abt our upcoming barnone gig. firstly, we'll be playing 2 new songs which we hope will go down well with the crowd, along with our usual repetoire of songs. 2ndly, we're playing with CONCAVE SCREAM, the band that i have THE utmost amount of respect & admiration for. they're my BIGGEST inspiration for chrissakes! now that we're given the oppurtunity to gig alongside 'em, NO WAY am i gonna pass this up. 3rdly, practically majority of the ppl who're into the music scene will be there, esp hardcore concave supporters. wat will they think of us? will they condemn us as some sad copies of concave(which i'm not sure if we've shaken off the whole comparison thingy)? or will they embrace us with our own style?
it makes me feel like this gig is some sortof a judgement trial of acceptance into the 'scene'. we definitely cannot afford to fuck this up. it'll be our last gig anywayz. better to go off in a blaze of glory(hopefully) than to fade out in obscurity. i just hope the crowd likes us enough. *crosses fingers*
lately, i've been in a very contemplative mood. i think TOO much. i think abt my current life, the future & try to plan things out in my head. there're so many things that i wanna do but as i'm waiting to goto aussie, i'm pretty much stuck in the middle of nowhere. trapped in a spot from which i can't execute any plans that i hope to.
i hate the whole waiting game.
there were days when i really felt like a mess. too poor to do jack shit & too much time to kill on my hands. still waiting for my pay to come in from both my teaching job as well as comex. when u realise that u dun have enough cash to top up ur ez-link card or not enough moolah to have a decent meal, reality strikes ur ass real hard & gives ya a wake-up call. is money really that impt?
sadly, yes.
i vowed to myself. when i start working proper, i'm gonna make sure that i earn & save up enough to not worry abt things like my bills, my next meal, affording the occasional chill-out at starbucks/coffee bean or not having to frown upon purchases like a nice magazine or a movie over the weekend. heck, i just wanna live life comfortably without having to kena situations where i have to WORRY abt whether i have enough $$$ to top up my ez-link the next day, etc.
am i being too materialistic? i dun think so. i'm just being realistic. cuz on top of all this, i need to start saving up for production on our next album...which i foresee will cost a friggin' BOMB.
"see lah? become wat rocker?? become wat musician?? not enough $$$ to take transport lor!"
