So... I've been at my desk fiddling around with a VST all day in an effort to get it sorted for my bench inspections. Working hard and looking forward to an evening of random frivolity with the good people of SG. My housemate says he really fancies joining me, but he doesn't finish work till 8, not so bad I was gonna be heading into town for 7 anyway. When he gets home he's all like, 'No... Je veux aller une chose en mtal music avec Max'. So I think, fuck it I'll go alone and find em I've been working all day for a beer, just means I'll have to be extra sociable.

Get into town late, so head to The Newt... where I am promptly told at the door, by a burly looking chav in uniform, that they aren't admitting anyone into the bar.... ???.... So think, 'Well maybe they know this and are still at Island Bar'. Walk over and check the bar for any faces I might recognise from SG... Rien. This place is a dingey rock bar though and I don't have the courage to search the corners alone, so axe the guys at the bar. Nope they were a fairly nice bunch from Ladywood, that offered a night out down Broad Street, but not SG. Still determined that hope should not be lost, in a final attempt I drift outside for a needed cigarette. I figure I'm gonna smoke I may-as-well smoke outside the bar and hope someone comes out I recognise and the trip won't be a waste... Rien.

Still... went back to the home district and joined a few mates for a quiet pint at our Scream Bar local. Which was great, hadn't seen a few of the guys in ages and it was cool to destress some things with the help of guys that graduated last year.

YAY! The project is complete! Now all I have to do is the report, the fun part and a few other essays before the exams, then freedom!



It doesn't look like much there, but it sounds really sweet and is full of my blood, sweat and brain juice. Also now I have this thing under my belt, which was physically modelled on an existing sound, I can make my own, to my own spec !

The plan is for the next The Bee Shocked techniQue gig to play only instruments I've designed and built myself . Yes we changed our name. I can't remember why (it has origins, but we were stoned and I forgot), G-Shock and I were calling Q 'Technique' all last week, secretly a better 'street' name than Qube so we figured we'd change the name. I think it's fitting since the next show is going to be a bit mad tbh... I've been listening to loads of Animal Collective and am thinking bout adding improv grunge style vocals .

I found this image on google image search while looking for applets and .gifs for my bench inspections...

It made me laugh, a lot. Secret emo... lol. It kind sums up my blogging for me
