alright am back to save the day again

2009-01-12T21:15:00.007+05:30

had been avoiding this place for a long time now. a major procrastinator that i am (i even made a lil radio-play on this topic, yes a radio-play on procrastination! but whatever my stupid group members screwed way too much with the script blah blah whatever am not heading off topic now)

so then i thought about those of you who do not really have a life out side the www lol (yes count me in that list too) and decided that i'd write another post. so there have been a few changes since i posted last time. my band needs a drummer and its not easy to fine one, a good one, in this city for sure. and so band jams have been on a hold since the last tour. oh yes! the tour! the fucking awesome crazy makeyoufeellikearockstartour i never told you about until now

ok so one day i get a call from this guy Ishan, who tells me his band needs a bass player, i couldnt really get the name of the band though. anyway ok alright so here is the setlist, i prepare and audition and woah! after two weeks i am on a FUCKING AWESOME makeyoufeellikearockstar TOUR! four gigs, three cities, a lot of money! ok so we went rolling. yeah btw, the name of the band is "poured on ice"

day1-gig1 was nice , the train journey sucked but the venue was decent, a good sound setup so we sound check, sounded totally βΘИΞКЯŲŜĦÏИĞ®. yep thats the word βΘИΞКЯŲŜĦÏИĞ® so good venue, good sound, food, booze, chicks, $$ :D
day2-fun day, go around the town, fairs, play games etc etc maybe we did the sound check for gig2 that evening or maybe the next, i dont really remember ya know.... gig2 was a free gig, venue was nice; we had our bands posters hanging all around by now. power failures did screw us twice but rest was cool. ok then so then we move for pune after a day or two

and yeah while we were in ahmednagar, damn! believe you me, we stayed in this fuckingcrazymakeyoufeellikeasrockstar palace sort of a thing with half a dozen servants, gardens and what not. we had all these army gypsies taking us around. last day in nagar we guys were at this tomb, one heavenly beautiful place that is. bad news was that the mumbai gig was cancelled due to comunal tension :(
alrigh then so the train keeps moving we land in pune, hmmm so we now meet this new sound engineer his name is MARS and he is a bit of a dick. i wasnt happy with the stage sound much and never bothered about the FOH sound coz i knew he is one of those failed guitarist turned sound engineer :P lol anyway so that was the last day, same stuff food, booze, chicks, $$ :D
that was like a short version of what i remember bt now of the fuckingcrazymakeyoufeellikeasrockstar tour. i guess i must have forgotten some important details and i know i havent written about the other important developments if you know what i mean ;) :P for i dont know who might be reading this.
we got our live dvd of the pune gig. seems like the FOH sound was kinda good although the idiot had added some delay to the vocals during a few songs and we had no idea about that until we got this whatever now what is done is done. the band partied once back home, after which the drummer left the band and we dont really want to play with the guitarist2 anymore so he is out too. now looking for new members and would be rolling soon i hope. personally i had to sit through my semester exams and last years re-appear papers which i flunked in too :( that time was pretty hard but now am over it and i spend a lot of my time watching movie. i keep downloading 24x7 for i paid so much for this internet connection lol

alright then cya

speed kills

2008-11-17T22:13:00.001+05:30

This is a song with a message,
I want you to heeeeed my warning.

Wanna tell you all a story, about this chick I know.
They call her Amphetamine Annie, and she's always shovelin' snow.
I sat her down and told her, I told her crystal clear
I don't mind you gettin' high but there's one thing you should fear
Your mind might think it's flyin' baby on those little pills
But you ought to know it's dyin', cause - speed kills!

But Annie kept on speedin', her health was gettin' poor
She saw things in the window, she heard things at the door
Her mouth was like a grindin' mill, her lips where cracked and soar
Her skin was turnin' yellow, I just couldn't take it no more
She thought her mind was flyin' on those litte pills
She didn't know it was going down fast, cause - speed kills!

Yaaaa, speed can kill you too baby, yaa

Well I sat her down and told her, I told her one more time
The whole wide human race has taken far too much melamine
She said "I don't care what a limey says, I got to get it on
I'm not hip to the seen of the man who come from across the pond."
She wouldn't heed my warning, Lord she wouldn't hear what I said
Now she's here in the grave yard, and she's awfully dead.

Ya, speed gonna kill you!
Anybody.
Speed will get you!
Speed from over the pond.
There ain't no hope baby...
Yaa, aah hah.
Spoon a Spoon a Spoon.... huah...

observations

2008-11-13T01:26:00.002+05:30

i notice that aparna is not commenting here anymore. maybe she's away and i also noticed that the badass pain didn't really shoot up like crazy for the last 24 hours, it did but not like it does. i also noticed that its getting colder and soups have never tasted so good before. it wouldnt be easy to ignore this fact that this internet connection sucks, so does this comp but i think i can work around it if i do not have no other options. i have been also noticing very good deals on used pedals so should i catch one? or would the customs duties suck bad?

uhhhhhhhhh whatever........ outside the fish bowl was a cat on the prowl! the goldfish survived so did the naked eye

2008-11-11T18:21:00.002+05:30

there is this acute pain which shoots up in the head. its not like headache its like one hell of a badass pain man! i started dabbling on the keys again trying to get around the white and black keys. other than that life goes around like it has been around talkbass.com lol
so its getting cold here in my city. i like it with the winters setting in :D
why is it always in the exam times that i think about the most thinkable issues i can come up within my own mind and then sink into a whirlpool of thoughts and afterthoughts and off goes the last night study for a six!
tada

rhyme (with me)

2008-11-10T19:16:00.004+05:30

i get so buzy am tied up
life's not easy when you are dieing up
did i love you baby when you cried up?
the words stop rhyming when they are dried up

i feel like a moron
dead brain nutron
bomb when it explodes
i find the doors all closed
trying to find a home
dog without a bone
me all alone
i meet my clone
i set off the drone
everyone wants the throne
you are not the one
who gets the bun
i shot with the gun
was it just for fun?

the war will end when they tie it up
what about those who die out?
i saw your name and i cried out
the tears. they never. dry out.

:-/

shit! i havent writtin nothing worse that THAT. crap. but anyway now on everything goes on to the blog.
weirdo do day was yesterday. another exam tomorrow. until next time then.

ps: i had a good reasons to start writing a blog. would come back to this

2008-11-09T00:38:00.002+05:30

although i wonder who the heck would come around reading my blog i am thinking about what am going to say next and not about the spellings or the keys am going to hit or about how my brain is really processing and churning out information or how my hands are really typing. the technique is simple and has been absorbed by the system and the focus is on the thought i want to communicate. ok enough now i'd cut it
so maybe i have been to way too many way to loud gigs and jams that now am like REALLY woried about my hearing and ears. every time i talk on the phone my right ear rings up bad big time :( this now in addition to the ringing i have to h/bear when i am in silent surroundings..... often i have to have to turn on a fan or any continuous sound source to fade off the ringing. its not really bad but its bad. i am being careful but these ear plugs i have are'nt so great although they are an industry standard somewhat. they are not so comfortable and hell they really effect the tones i need to be careful about so meh it boils down to the choice; deafen out a little bit more or turn blind to the tones. tough choices really tough! what good is music if you cant hear and what good would be hearing if you cant hear the details :S

ok now look honestly (here is a confession *thunderolls and SFX*) i dont know what blogging is like meant to be, nor that i care really, but i thought i'd rather let the WWW know this fact. so perhaps am writing in here because it was meant. alright then, until later sometime

midnight it is

2008-11-08T23:55:00.001+05:30

what do i write?
anything!

anything is a good word. ok? so i am still trying to get around writing a blog, does being sleepy make you feel like a retard sometimes too? the throat hurts and the tone is just not right... i changed the strings but the new ones are too bright to sound good with an overdrive ok but i still want an acoustic bass and four hundred pedals. the black sabbath poster on my wall is comming off, need an alternative to the pos double sided tape i used.
anyway lets now see how does this really look like?

ok so it looks ok..... am off for the night! maybe not
