Wooo Friday! :) Sounds like a good weekend Musha, they do keep you busy!

I'm doing the chillaxing thing this weekend - tomorrow I'm going to continue writing a comic I'm working on before seeing some mates in the evening for a catchup. Then Sunday is band day as per usual, I think we might be trying to get a rough recording done this week, every exciting.

btw I can't remember if I pimped this already, but he's a vid of us post rocking it out. It's a little sketchy but it gives the idea of what we do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AekC9sy-tkc&feature=relmfu

Like us on Facebook everyone! It feeds my fragile ego.

Good morning slaaaaaags!

Happy Friday! Weekend plans?

Tonight I shall be driving home to Wales. Spending tomorrow with my best mate and his brand new baby daughter. Driving back early Sunday morning, heading down to Kent for a christening in the afternoon.
Happy Friday!

Gotta drop my P1 in to have the wheel bearings looked at so I'm going to spend Saturday bumming 'round town eating and getting drunk. Sunday will be bike ride. Not a lot really, nice laid back weekend!

Apart from that, I just booked a week at Center Parcs for me and t'missus.

Thank fuck man, I need a good wind down. It's put a big smile on my face :)

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
I slept through both of my alarms, made it into work at 11. Fuuuuuuu.

Ah well, the benefits of working at the Union, everyone else is hungover too.

EDIT: I have no idea what my weekend plans are, probably involve watching a lot of football.

Yeah bro, milk chocolate all the way. Sweets should be sweet. A bitter sweet is like a snaggletooth in a blowjob. Owww.

I think my favourite milk chocolate is still galaxy. That stuff is so yummy.

My favourite chocolate activity is sucking up hot chocolate through a straw of kitkat and then schlorping up the gooey straw. Shit be decadent.

You have my attention. Any in particular you've modelled yourselves on/been inspired by?

We kinda run the gamut really. Got your obvious faves like Mogwai and Godspeed and Explosions in the Sky. I really like Russian Circles for that metallic edge to proceedures too. Some guy came up to us at a recent gig and just started quoting bands at us. He was like "Deathcab. At the Drive in. Mogwai, Mars Volta". I gave him a hug for stroking my ego so nicely. EDIT: nearly forgot Oceansize too, they're a massive influence on us. EDIT2: Shellac! How did I forget Shellac??? And Slint as well.

We have coined the genre PunkRockPostRock for ourselves since we like to go a bit mental in places and we're a bit more 'fuck you' than thinky at times. It's a fun band to play in though, it's quite freeing to be able to play exactly whatever we feel like without having to follow a genre slavishly. It just comes out a bit post rocky.

here's a vid from a recent-ish practice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AekC9sy-tkc&feature=relmfu

please excuse the fuckup right at the end :|

Galaxy caramel, Up your game yo.

I only got it cause the bird was like I'm going to tesco do you want anything? My mind was flooded with choice. "Get us the darkest chocolate there is" I return home from work and i'm presented with stuff that is pretty much compressed instant coffee.

Yeah, I'm a milk chocolate guy too.

You can hold my hand while we eat the chocolate if you want.

About to make cheesy pasta before my bike cycle, Inb4 mike comes in with his high path yibber yabber.

Sounds right up my alley.

I quite like dark chocolate but milk is definitely superior.
Went to a chocolate factory on a school trip once and they handed out cocoa beans for everyone to try, fuck me they were disgusting.

Has anyone been to Cadbury World? That place is magical.

I really like dark chocolate. Particularly Bourneville. Milk and white chocolate are great and all but I can eat dark chocolate all freakin' day and not feel sick.

I tell you something that was weird, anyone remember those chocolate & chilli Walker's crisps? haha.

Good morning slaaaaaags!

Happy Friday! Weekend plans?

I had a dentist appointment this morning and it's my friend's birthday this weekend so I'll be out and about celebrating. Might wash the car at some point. That's about it really.

btw, Rammstein did get confirmed for Download 2013 this morning. ooooh baby! If the rumours are true and Pearl Jam ends up being the third headliner then I'll be more than happy to skip E3 and go to Donington Park instead.

Can't stand white chocolate on its own generally. Milky Bars are nice though.

Thinking about it, I may just hate Cadbury Dreams, I reaaaally don't like those.

Pearl Jam you say? I'll see you in the arena my friend!

I found a Milky Bar on in the street the other day. Gave it to my wife, she loved it despite its dubious origins.

Ironically, the same money I'd pay to see Pearl Jam is also the same amount of money I'd pay to not have to watch Maiden and Rammstein :p What an odd collection of headliners! If PJ are doing some solo shows around the same time I'd love to go see them though.
 
As a rule, I try to eat very small amounts of white chocolate at a time, because that shit overwhelms me.

As another rule, dark chocolate can also make me throw up.

Pearl Jam, Maiden and Rammstein? Fuck I may have to encourage my mates to do Download next year. We've been wanting a change from Leeds.

Dark chocolate around 70% > milk chocolate > dark chocolate above 70%

I don't know who can eat 100% dark chocolate, and like it. They must have a diet of pure black coffee and bitter lemon.

EDIT- Also, if I get a galaxy S3, should i get it on an expensive contract, or buy the handset and a pay mothly microsim, which gives a cheaper contract?

Looks like i'm going to be at Donnington again next year then, mixed bag really because the place is a logistical shithole. But i love it all the same :D

Hopefully they do a decent full non-festival tour as well. Saw them in Manchester earlier this year and they were excellent as always (also, Manchester crowd > London crowd).

Sadly London very rarely gets solo PJ shows. I remember we waited ages for them to come back and they played Wembley, and since then it's just been O2 and an intimate gig at Shepherds Bush. Same with Springsteen. Seems a lot of bands prefer to do the festivals and Hard Rock Calling type of events than dedicated shows.

Got brekkie and dinner included - phone is charging in the car now so I've got 30 mins free WiFi on the tablet.

Time to load up some TV for watching later!
