i'm moody as you can all tell.

i need sleep and i need my boy here! And i need tuneage!

Oh so i'm doing this musicclass to learn about music production every teusday eve, my uncle is teaching us , he's very talented man. So i thought it would be a good idea if everybody would bring a piece of music that they think is awesome in production. Because our class excists of : 3 hip hoppers, 4 punkers and me. So that we can listen to music in a different way. Everybody took something hip hop and punk , and than me :lol: "Surrender" Nobody really understood it :lol: when the song was finished people were like " ok, yeah....right" hahahahahaa!

ha they were all probaly pretending not to like it to keep their cool status with the other punks and hip hoppers, but secretly they dance to it in the mirrior every morning,

for some reason the song surrender reminds of the bee gees when i hear it

Thanks for your words of wisdom Whirly and yeah like you I too bottle things up untill I snap as I hate bad vibes and bitchy environments, but thats what its like there! :-( Anyway on my short lunch break and am at home relaxing for half hour!

Jeanie, thats so cool about your music production classes, I'm teaching myself have been since 2001, would love the opportunity to learn from the pro's though, make the most of it!! And great idea to bring along a peice of music which is great production, what a hard choice, there are loads to choose from, what are you going to go for then??

I bought myself a brand new EMU top of the range MIDI keyboard to enhance my production output! So im feeling happy now! :-)

Hey Jeanie, soon you'll have your man by your side. Just a little while longer. Your production class sounds really cool. Maybe by the end of term, your classmates will finally "get" Surrender, or The Chemical Brothers in general. Maybe bring in Salmon Dance the next time and see how that goes - the production on that tune is great, afterall! And I'm sure mips has loads of suggestions, mips being mips n'all!

Nice treat you got yourself VMan! :D

Anyone know who is supporting at Secc ??? xox

yeah, i've didn't share chems for years until i devoloped a stable spidey sense for who would love the albums and who wouldn't get creative, energetic, and beautiful music.

...

So finally after a year I am able to go back the the room i grew up in. Up to this point my dad's jobless friend was staying there and sort of wore out his welcom. Anyway, many legendary things (except my losing virginity) happened there, including it being the spot from where I started posting here and listening obsessivly to the chems through out high school and college. A lot has changed in this year from breaking up with my long term girlfriend to moving house to house in santa cruz while working and going to school full time and most importantly: meeting Tom and Ed while being pretty knocked. So long story short, when i was rummaging though some of my old stuff in my room, i found a photo of Tom from a SF Chronicle review of the 2002 show (titled "Chemical Brothers in their element) and the huge stack of Come With Us stickers I stole from Tower Records. That one almost made me cry.

I'm well out of date with this topic, just read about 3 pages!

Congrats to Eric and new baby, thats great news!

Nice artwork Bosco!

Working 12 hours is shite, I was talking to yesterday (my Polish teacher as it happens) and she'd just finished 4 12 hour shifts in some place she worked in processing data or something. I was saying to her I did the occasional one and 12 hours with the general public is hard work, but how people could do 2,3,4 shifts in a row is beyond me! One time I had an argument with a passenger about 10 hours in, after that I just said to myself "no more". So now when I'm asked to do one by my manager most of the time I just say "thats probably not a good idea as I'm a liabilty after about 10 hours". hehe

apparently on the working shitty hours front I've got that in store in a couple years!

My T.As are all working 12-14 hour days all week every week, plus homework and work on their dissertation! :O

The sweetness of post-grad...

Biff, there is no place like home.

done with finals! don't think this was my best quarter, but that's simply because I didn't put my best into it. I feel better about next quarter though, just can see the magic building up. last night i celebrated with some friends at school last night by having crown + coke, which is like our official drink. then went down to just crown after we ran out of coke. I played some chemical brothers there cause my friend only had brb on her ipod and wanted to see if she should get more. so I put on a live show and I almost cried because I am hearing several of my friends talking to each other about how much they love the new album and surrender, which I lent them a copy of. I didn't even say much (being in awe and playing the Wii). I was surprised they enjoy surrender, cause I always thought, like we were talking about earlier, that the album was one of their best, but took a while to get used to and thus appreciate. so you see jeanie, some people are cool enough to understand the album, so don't loose faith! Ed (or Tom) if your reading, they all were stoked when they heard Saturate, if that's any surprise. especially talking about the stereo systems they heard it on and how blown away they were. I got a few people hooked on the chems after I my friends intrigued after showing them that Trafalgar Square documentary with Saturate, HTL, and others on it. really made me happy to see others appreciate what has lifted the last 7-8 years of my life.

so when I got home from my crown & coke social, things went downhill when I heard my roommate get home at 6 am and use my electric razor. I was completely dumb-founded of what to do. just sat there in terror in my room hearing the gentle hum of the razor being broken on the sound of him shaving his stubble off on my razor. I ended up not going in there and yelling "what the fuck are you doing?!" but I will probably look a little chewbaccaish for the next couple of days... at least i found a new studio a block away from the ocean with no roommates and my own fridge. makes me not care about winter breaks until i get there.

heh. Lousy assholes. Came out from the club last night at 3 AM to find shattered glass all over the seat of my car. Broken into, deck stolen, backpack stolen. No window in -30 C weather. (And with the cost of this insurance deductible again, no snowboard trip for NYE.) My fault for leaving the face plate on the deck in a sketchy area but still...

At least the girl came home with me...

(And they didn't take my winter jacket, which I'd left in the backseat.)

Congrats on finishing your finals, Biff! I could just hug you, because of what you wrote about sharing your favorite music with your friends. <3

Darkstar... I feel so bad, you're having such terrible luck with your car lately. But always looking on the bright side, you've pointed out that your girl came home with you and you still have your winter jacket!

at least it's only like -15 lately though, innit...? but that still is shitty. especially the lack of snowboard trip -- although maybe I have my priorities mixed up.

Nah, man, it's been near -30 or worse here the past week or more. Bloody cold out. Oh well, as Whirly said, at least I got the girl. (I'm falling so hard, I need to watch myself, hahaha, oh dear...)

Turns out I didn't notice that they tried to pry the ignition so if insurance will accept that it was attempted auto theft I probably won't have to pay the deductible. Even still I think I'm going to opt out of the snowboard trip. I'm going to Edmonton mid-Jan anyways and shouldn't spend money on both.

(Actually, just checked, apparently it wasn't that cold last night...Hmmm.... it felt much colder. And it has dipped below -30 to -35 with the windchill in the last few days. Apparently my internal thermometer is dysfunctional.)

I've had far to many mai thai's. It's so weird gettin drunk woth corwokerss.

Omg WHIRLY CANT TYPE! Woooow! What a moment on the board!

whirly deserves the punctuation award for the day.

:lol: Woohoo!

Tim,

I feel the cold too man. And its only -2 or something. I dunnp how i will survive if its -30!

Altho when i still used to model, i went to canada for a shoot, and it was - 20 , and i obv wasnt wearing a lot of clothes. Than i flew straight to senegal where it was + 35. That was quite an extreme temperature difference of 55 degrees!

Darkstar, your coming here....why....I mean....YAHH!!!! another fourmie in edmonton.....for a brief second.

though are weather isn't going to be much greater here. What are you in town for?
