Relax and look at some cat pictures, it will do you a world of good. I kept laughing out loud to the point where people were looking at me. But my colleagues know when I'm having a rough day, I look at cat pictures or something.

Honestly, you don't have to play anything complicated! On a lot of this stuff, what it actually needs is the drone note accentuated - not chords, but literally just a drone, the same note in one or two octaves. The Pop melodies move around this note, but don't bother with those - just play the drone note.

haha i think that's what happened on friday night/saturday daytime... i mean, i NEVER sleep that much. 5-7 hours a night usually, tops.
And that physical "ugh" can turn into mental "ugh".
but it was a physical "yay!" i was all twisty and floaty and FAST and it felt good.

True, but I don't have to think so hard about that.

Honestly, Ed, no scales, no chords. Maybe very limited movement in songs like Noyfriend that have a principle chord and a modulation (that is the G to F natural one) but mostly drone.
I chose all the songs for this set because they are songs that have a very strong drone element - a single note that goes through the whole song. Because I wanted Frances to do super-wubbulation on those notes on the Silver Machine.

Or is it like your version of the noize board where you bitch about non-Watercooler people you don't like but where you don't actually put it on the board?

The nidiots asked to have all inactive employees removed from the report - so that's why it's not balancing with the other report. Ha ha! I can go back and say it's coz they're Nidiots, not coz the report is wrong.

I would like to make it clear that I have nothing to add here.

Argh, what a day. Got up only to have my power go out at 9am - luckily just before I'd got in the shower, not during. I knew I should have got up when the rubbish was collected. So I've had no shower, no tea and err, I still missed the 9.33 train by 30 seconds. Bah! It's ALWAYS late. The one I ended up getting on was 5 minutes late. It SAID on the announcement board that it was going to arrive at 9.35 but at 9:33:30 when I arrived on the platform, it was pulling out. BASTARDS!!!
How is everyone's VD going? Stupid VD.

Have just booked ANOTHER Shimuras gig for April. Blimey. AMP suggested getting yet another of her sisters to play with us. No, there is only SO MUCH PAYNE I can handle.
What are you doing, FP, getting stretched on a pink heart-shaped rack for VD? ;-)

also I have just been called by a head-hunter.
― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 14 February 2007 11:13 (seventeen years ago) link
Head hunter? Ooh, exciting - what kind of tribe are they representing?
I used to get scared when head-hunters called my dad. I did not understand it was just an expression. Too many stories my mum told me about head hunters and witch doctors while growing up in Africa.

Head hunters for the broadcast tribe, representing one of the spun off bits of a monolithic broadcasting corporation.

Everything cooked on a big open fire? Aren't there EU Elf directives against that sort of thing?
I am wearing the other glasses today, and they are TERRIBLE for my peripheral vision. It really annoys me. They have these huge chunky legs blocking out half my vision, and also the glasses do not go all the way to the edge of the frame in some weird kind of architectural thing (I hope they're supposed to be like that, and they didn't just run out of glass) so the edges of my vision are all blurry.
