The first blog of 2012!

Hello empire!

You still here?

I do hope so.

So, yes, here we are, 2012. First things first, apologies for not writing for a long time, I've honestly had no urge whatsoever to write about anything, but I'mm in a mindset now where I think I can write on the same personal level I used to write in!

Last year was a year of definite change for me, alot of stuff happened and thankfully, most of it was for the better, see my 2011 blog for more info!

Now mentally, I'm feeling great, which is a plus, however it is time for me to get out of my frankly pathetic job at Farmfoods, and try to get a job somewhere more respectable, and where the management have a clue what they're doing, it's not my place to criticize however, because I'm very unprofessional, and essentially work on an "It'll do" policy, if it gets done, it gets done!

I've been up to an awful lot since I last wrote here, a big bunch of gigs with Framed, exciting stuff, I got a whole lot of new equipment, musically a lot of shit happened, I direct you towards mine & Joe's blogs on the official website to get clued up on everything! Trust me you'll love it.

Aside from possible concussion, I've been keeping ok, a lot of good vibes coming off our last gig at The Actress & Bishop in Birmingham, then we got another new track going at rehearsal last night, so I'm feeling good, also feeling a lot of improvement on guitar which is double-good.

Double-good, I like that...below is a link to listen to the whole gig, courtesy of Matt's iPhone.

 

I'm looking forward to what's to come this year, more gigs, recording the album, Global Onslaught coming to one of said gigs get stuff for their promotion website, Gamefest in September, the new guitar Joe's making for me, my Marshall Mode 4 actually working and many more I assure you.

I hope to revive this page somewhat, doing some more frequent posts, maybe weekly? who knows.

All I know is, with everything I've had on my plate, I've kept on going and I intend to keep carrying on with what I do

And for now, that will do!

Thanks for reading

It all starts with a beautiful girl...

Hello empire.

This week has been...eventful, lets say, a lot of time has been spent thinking about where I am at in life, which seems to be a recurring theme on this blog as or recent.

But because life is busy, and causes turn into effects I'm left here in limbo, because I don't tend to take sides all that much, and I get stuck in the void of lounging, with laid back jazz.

But when I do make decisions, more times often than not they're really bad. Infact I take that back, Really fucking bad.

So, yeah, Framed haven't practiced for a while, with some of us gallivanting all over the place, and I've taken a step back from playing 2 hours a day, just taking time to take in more music and catch up with friends, it's not got me down, because I'm getting a grasp on some new riffs and shit, it's a recurring thing that happens every so often, I back off the pedal a bit and just practice when the mood takes me, all casual like...


So, this week, usual hours at work, mashing away on Dead Island, a game which I picked up last week, I'm sure we'll be reviewing it over on our other blog.

I'm not really doing the humungous posts so much anymore, neither am I clear of thought so much these days, mainly because my thought path seems to be very cloudy, It's like being drunk but not pleasant, I'm finding it very hard concentrate at the moment is the problem.

So, Luke, I hear you say with slight inquisition, what started with a beautiful girl?
The sad truth is nothing, although if you're a close friend, you'll know, but I thought it was an apt title for the mood I'm in, I got home last night, I sat in my kitchen and drank some whiskey while I received various text messages on my telephonic device. I can only imagine it sounds very cliché that I drown my sorrows under a dim light to the sound of light jazz, but it's how I like it so...nyerrr

On a lighter note, got some new great albums in my collection, and some decent writeups to do on other bands, I'll get around to that when I can think without my face hurting.

Some App reviews aswell, there's some good shit coming out over the next month or so!

See you soon
