I've still never watched a game of rugby in my life.

damn that looks good, unfortunatly due to "plans" i can't go, but please be organising another soon (preferably after uni finishes for the semester)

the following rational allowed me to get through uni and maintain something of a life. Of course I did have to resort to tears a couple of times for extensions, but then who hasn't?
"yeah but how much work are you really going to get done between 10pm and 1am tonight anyway?" .... " And you probably need a break right?" ... "What if you have a night off, don't get too drunk or anything, get up a little earlier, and get onto the assignment in the morning?"... "that would be way more productive than pulling an all-nighter, cos you'll wind up spending all Sunday in bed or being a total zombie anyway right?" ... "honestly having a break now and then having a whole day to get your assignment done, you'll do a much better job on it." ...

i used to go to gigs and stuff and come and do work. convolutions and abstract algebra are awful interesting after a few drinks.

hmmm
I probably get most of my work done between about 10 and 1... but like carl, I often find a few drinks *facilitative* especially for writing. that said, I've been not going to a lot of gigs lately because i need to get work done... : (
always do something ...
always do something memorable
otherwise your life will be forgettable
about varsity and assignments...
put them off and off and off
hopefully in the meantime you'll stumble across something that really grabs you
then drop everything and do that instead
when there's no desire to put something off THEN you're doing the right thing

carl what a slanderous projection of your innermost hopes you are making on jon jr..
i guess the three "?"s on jon jr's query justify his subliminal sentiments
does this mean teina's up for grabs???

its a little different trying to do assignments at architecture school.... somehow large model buildings made out of MDF never work if you try pulling all nighters before they are due in, same goes for tech drawings.

again this gig was good. i like the feeling that the whole thing could fall apart at any time. especially when it doesnt. i dont care about technical problems when bands make up for it. these gigs will be legendary in years to come.

Yeah it was another pretty classic night - I had a grand ol' time.
/The Accellerants were on top form again after a bit of a lapse last Tuesday
Yeah Accellerants were great once again - but tuesday... are you talking about at Indigo? I thought they were solid as hell that night.
And recording - yeah... its on the cards. Cross fingers, but maybe don't hold breath just yet.

// but tuesday... are you talking about at Indigo?
Yeah... They seemed a bit flat to me. I was thoroughly impressed by the drummer at indigo... thoroughly impressed by the entire band at Watkins.

Just record a live gig man. We got a wicked live recording from an Indigo gig - go James on the sound :)

and stop finishing on your weaker songs.
I know, I know this time it was out of your control but still...
anyway good night. big ups to vietnow for the beer.

I'm sick of your bitching stefan.
YOU write the set list next time and we'll critique you.
On a slightly more serious note.....dude......the only way 'weaker songs'* become 'stronger songs' is to throw them in the deep end, no amount of pre gig practicing can compensate for playing them to a live audience..sometimes they work sometimes they don't, you just have to keep playing them 'till they find their feet...as far as set lists go I'm enjoying making them up on the fly playing whatever the fuk we feel like next and finishing when we've had enough...or when Matt has to throw up (thats the second gig in a row).....like it or lump it.
*I don't believe they are weaker songs..far from it, they are however fresh to the live scene and not second nature like the rest of the tracks...so the performance aint gonna be so clinical....from my POV that makes a show a hell of a lot more interesting than playing the same songs every fukin night
word.

look what I mean by weaker songs is that they haven't been field tested like your other songs, right?
So ending on them doesn't leave the best impression on the crowd. You want them to leave on a high.
That is all I was trying to say.
I have no problem with them being played just when.
Like I said I know it was out of you hands when you chose to finish. chill bro.
Maybe I came off more harsh than I intended.

Yeah - theres some bits which I wouldn't have missed not remembering though (like our final destination :-)
Made for a really fucking great night though - great loud rock music followed by great loud 80's music followed by.... errr more 80's music...

all they need to do is rename it the coal exchange and then its legendary status will be secure.
