The band has a name (XPD) and has recorded!
For anyone wishing to hear the WONDER that is me attempting to sing and murdering our own tunes in the process, go to www.myspace.com/xpdband.
Be nice.

Ladies and gentlemen, a record has been reached and broken:
A DRUMMER HAS STAYED WITH MY BAND FOR MORE THAN TWO PRACTICES
You may scoff, but I've been waiting two YEARS for this to happen. Whether they decided they weren't good enough or just randomly moved away, it wasn't until Hat Dave came along that we even had a drummer stay for two practices. Of course, he quickly decided that our music wasn't his style, but now we've got Dan and it looks like he's on board for good. All of which makes me rather happy.
We did two new songs today. If you ignore the fact that I can't sing the verse of one of them remotely in key, they went pretty well.

I'm back from London 
Went down there for a birthday / 6 year anniversary celebration and stayed in the Holiday Inn next to Camden Lock. Within spitting distance of the Electric Ballroom (and as it turned out, spitting was all that the Ballroom is fit for) and the Market.
I bought:
A Tripp trenchcoat
Trainers with spikes on
A new Thundercats T-shirt, as my old one is faded
A hoodie with fighting stickmen on the front
Bush, Pennywise, Bad Brains and Tool CDs
I went:
To Camden Market, which was cool
To the Electric Ballroom, which played noisy, annoying hardcore all evening and should be burned to the ground. The only real redeeming feature was the cage dancers, and even they couldn't save it.
Slimelights, which was the coldest I've even been whilst inside, and that includes the walk-in freezers I've been in while working in pubs. The music was alright though.
Oh, and I ordered room service for the first time in my life. Me being me though, I still had burger and chips

Just in case anyone's interested, New Year's Eve sees Magenta in it's usual place from 8pm onwards playing the best alternative music in a gay-and-straight friendly atmosphere in Nottingham
