today we went on a beachy adventure with lois and sue



heres the evidence:












lois sue and i

we also made a new friend



igor our dear friend, wherever you are now...

Heres a lil exerp from last night drinnkies in sues

Please the masses?

ok so ill admit it my new favourite(if a little masochistic)thing to do now is to keep checkin the reviews on that slice the pie website.

everytim i look at them theres about ten new ones...

how it works

basically you upload three of your own songs and people listen to them and critique them.
who these people are, i have no idea, are they qualified? again, no freakin idea...but nearly everything i put is ripped apart...but the way i look at it is for ever ..lets say...7 bad reviews theres one really good one, so its kinda worth it...

anyway...so i put the one song of mine which i really have no liking for(emmet road) and all the reviews are deadly!...like huh...like readin them im all chuffed then im like ugh but i just dont get the song...

so, is this how you please people in art...or media or whatever...find out what they like and mould your self into that....

not happenin...plu i kinda get some weird kick outta the bad reviews..

its weird...i really read the baduns..like analyse them. whereas if i see a review is good ill be like sweet, next!...hmm

its actually annoying me now ...now that im writing it..

well thats all really:)

Great sound. It has dinamics and expression. Very good singer and nice band. I think the use of the band could be different, specially about the electronic effects and guitars (electric).

The song is inspiring especially when i hear the lyrics "i will make you live."I wanna download this song. Fits right in my ears!

singging this way is too seductive. Flavour of folk and blues are present in this beautiful sound. The song is very good, the production too. A cool sound to a cool day. The end could be better prepared.

this song definitely soothes the soul. really nice rhythm and lyrics. the combination of the two singers' voices really sounds good.

Nice vocals. Good as part of an album. Little naked for a single,if is the case: Bass and percussion needed. Maybe focus the track a little bit, to prevent it from a "lazy" sound.


------'lazy'?---well i never! hah!(and yes there have been worse than that)

readin bad reviews is kinda energising

ethereal acoustics, nicely played. sounds like damien rice meets turin breaks. be nice live and has certain commercial appeal. slow to get going. but a lovely sound

NewYork (i luv u-but your bringin me down)

I Cant get Started


this blog is written while listening to 'The Wolves(act 1 and 2)'
(so maybe throw that little ditty on if your gonna venture into this reading- ill even supply a link to it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9lrVZdaluk )




its also very late, and ive just come home from a perfect week in NewYork, so bare in mind that everything to come may very well be the 'comedown' from a week of some form of ecstacy(and thats a metaphor)

it just completely sucks to be home.
what am i doing with myself, i found a song i wrote and recorded like two years ago and its about feeling exactly how i feel now, i feel like im going nowhere(and i know i should vanquish these feelings with positive ones- but tonight i just feel miserable and kinda weirdly like i wanna feel it,i basically wanna have a moan, ireland just seems like this big rutt, the thoughts of getting a job here(which i have to do) just seem so depressing


with not working though i kinda feel like ive taken myself outof the world a little, everyone around me is in it..

give me something to sing about

i thought id have figured it at least partially out by now. im just older.

dont get me wrong, im in the best place ive ever been people wise, i wouldnt trade the people i have now for the world, career wise though isnt that shit all meant to just fall in to place at some stage?

lifewise like, ireland just isnt motivating, its a grey place.

i need to get started
