B-Sides

There is crazy thunder and lightning outside, I looked out my window and my whole street lit up, it was nuts! The thunder is so loud is shaking my front door!

I found an incredible music blog, seriously check it out.

They only do B-Sides/Rare Songs/Bonus Tracks/Live Sets.








I managed to get hold of three Four Year Strong bonus tracks that I had never heard before!

We put up a new Last Witness song here, its un-mixed, but check it out for sure.
We are playing The Underworld on Sunday with Your Demise/Azriel/Burn Down Rome/Throats and maybe some more, should be a good show!

Toyzzz

Finally ordered the shirts for Europe, and we should have them in time for the Underworld, they should look amazing.
Thats everything sorted now except the ferry, which I'm going to do asap.
Stress stress stress, will be amazing though.
We are also going to fly to Sweden in July to play a show or two, that will be un-real.

The drummer from Less Than Jake has his own Toy company, I forgot about it for ages and I just re-discovered them. They are so awesome, check them out here.

I got hold of a t-shirt of the infamous Stan's face finally.
Check "Ltd Edition Shirts" out, so jokes.

Also, another good music blog, its all a bit more bree here, but some good stuff on there!

Stufff

Went to see Chris Rock at the o2 Arena on Friday night with Polly.
He was so funny. It was all new material I had never heard before, which was great.
Plus he was on for along time, around 2 hours I think!
The o2 Arena is crazy, its so big and Americanized!
We were sat in B1 on the floor if you can spot it!

I haven't shaved in 2 weeks now (the longest i've ever left it I think), I might not shave for a while longer and see how it goes...apparently you need to leave it at least 4 weeks before deciding.

My friend James who uses eBay a lot has had his account suspended for 30 days because he got too many negative feedbacks, so he's giving me £100 to use mine for the month, good times considering I have about £20 to my name!

This week I have been mostly listening to Bayside, they are a really good band, kinda like Saves The Day meets Alkaline Trio.

I need to buy a capo for my guitar at some point.
I have been saying this for about a year, I really should just do it!

Couple of Things

Four Year Strong ruled tonight, its beyond me how that band is so good.

I found this cool blog that has alot of good music on it.
I finally got hold of the Kids In Glass Houses album!

Lastly, I like this;

"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know.
There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things we know we don't know .
But, there are also unknown unknowns. These are things we don't know we don't know."

-Donald Rumsfeld

Nothing groundbreaking, but the last line is scary if you think about it.

Southbank

Whilst I longed off skateboarding a long time ago, I strongly back this video, which is about saving the legendary skating area of Southbank.
Watch the video here.
Areas like this are vital to todays society. I have only ever been to Southbank a few times when I was younger, but as described in the video,the amount of people that use this area for fun/meeting new people/hanging out with friends is unreal.
It seems in todays society something is taken away from us every day. We are constantly being told what to do, but more so what not to do. There are so many things that we can do at the moment that future generations won't be able to enjoy (The closing down of many music venues in London is another thing being taken away all the time).
Whilst I agree with some of them (like the banning of drinking alcohol on public transport), others need to be fought, and this is one of them. (Incidentally two things I can see being banned in the future are; Smoking whilst driving, and listening to loud music whilst driving.)
Please take the time out to watch this video and sign the petition here.
