coming from a country that didn't qualify for the european championships and living in a country that didnt qualify for the european championships and not even caring enough about football to avoid watching the Beach on the other channel, (what the hell was that all about - i don't care how nice the beach is but 6 years of beach volleyball is gonna get dull???), i suppose i should feel left out.... but i don't really care, so thank you apathy, once again... and thank you dad for making me love rugby and get bored by football, c'est la vie.... a glaswegian anomlay indeed. my latest bout of idiocy involved the concept of recording music...something i guess many of you will be familiar with....it all started with a mobile phone (with recording facility), a vorspiel (norwegian code for getting trashed before going out thus in theory avoiding need to purchase numerous 50 kroner beers in the pub whilst in reality inducing need to buy even more expensive liquor), and a very bad acoustic guitar based cover of a song which i believe doesn't actually have guitars in it. genius. since then, via the all empowering embrace of the incredibly poor thus incredibly enhancing sound quality of the phone mic, we have come to believe we need to record to a non phone based media. this led rapidly to the heady world of digital 4 tracks and fancy instrument mics...i had to stop when i realised i could probably live for half a year in asia for the cost of hearing a perfect reproduction of a guitar-less song played with guitars by 2 guys, neither of whom could sing... never let the dream be diminished by facts but there comes a point. Anyway, since then, and most probably for the better, i have become aware in the style of a caveman wandering into the NASA headquarters of the sheer myriad of pc-based technology available for such musical efforts, so despite lacking a pc, this could be a more sensible way of going about things...? mmm splurge...the wind is blowing itself into a frenzy and am about to spend 2 days and nights on a large boat off the coast of norway. hope the Glasgow show rocked.. i'm off to get acquainted with the interior of a bucket. adios amigos :> ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!
