Okay, so since the last post I've gone through numerous ideas for this blog. I had ideas for one where I write about ideas for blogs, then one where I write mainly about failure - then I considered how hilarious it would be to do NEITHER and got stuck in an infinite loop of smug post-modernism.

I then thought of one where i take this warning:



and apply it, out-of-context to other pictures. My test was the famous Eric Cantona kung-fu photo, but then once i'd done it i realised it's exactly the kind of thing i HATE. You know you should steer clear of an idea when you can picture it on a t-shirt being worn by a student with a mullet.

Anyway, this post is just to say "hang in there" while i think of a great idea; in a way this post doesn't really exist. But, in another way, it does, so let's press on...

Bands. I currently have two bands, neither of them have names so let's call them band 1 and band 2. Band 1 has practised a few times and is stretching me on all musical fronts, which is definitely good. Band 2 is an unashamed attempt to be liked by as many people as possible, whilst pretending we don't care. Simon is in both these bands, and also band 3. Band 3 have a name but i'm not into AdSense. Oh man, and then there's band 4 - which is just so crazy it just might work - and band 0 - who may reform for a one-off gig.

Don't be surprised if the next post is me moaning about how EVERYTHING fell through and muttering something about home recording and exotic tunings (again).

Right, that'll do for now. By the way, the reason I'm doing this post is because i gritted my teeth and gave the blog its first link; now i'm worried that there will be an influx of people (1 or 2) and nothing interesting to read. But then, i haven't really addressed that problem.

Also, I'm ditching the song lyrics for titles idea, but here is what i used up to this point:

Morris Chapman - Be Bold! Be Strong!
Bjork - Sonnets/Unrealities XI
Tears for Fears - Everybody wants to rule the World
Peeps into Fairyland - Suilven from Elphin
Kate Rusby - Who Will Sing Me Lullabies?
Smashing Pumpkins - Zero
Deftones - Korea
Bardo Pond - Walking Clouds
Laura Veirs - The Cloud Room
Manic Street Preachers - Revol
Lisa Loeb - Listen, Lisa
Logh - The Passage
Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
Teenage Fanclub - Take the long way round
Sonic Youth - Wish Fulfilment
Kate Bush - Dream of Sheep
Joanna Newsom - Sadie
