Hello there, how you doing? Gooood to hear. Yeah, I'm decent cheers.
So, yesterday was pretty interesting. I take A-level drama, in case you weren't aware and/or didn't care, and as part of this course, my class see a prouction of Lysstrata (Synopsis - men are fighting, women are annoyed, women refuse to shag, men get ridiculous hard ons, men agree to stop fighting, hard ons go away) and it was...interesting. It was done by a company called The People's Theatre, and they are infamous for making terrible productions. But, dispite this, we went, we watched, and we left, scarred. It wasn't terrible, but there were some serious weak points - the main one being a dude dressed in army clotheswho could not act for monkey shit. I mean really, you'd get more emotion out of a vacant old dog. The girl playing Calonice was hot, and she made me love life for a short while. But then the old men and laies stripped off to reveal the worlds shittest body suits, and all of a sudden life was grim again. Oh well.
Something else interesting, you say? That not enough for you? FINE. I got home after our magical trip to the theatre and after I made a lovly slice of toast and had some super healthy high-sugar treats, I popped onto te computer. It was all going great, as it tends to, and then HOLY FUCKING SHIT LETS JUST STOP WORKING AND DECIDE THAT 70% OF THE PROGRAMS SHOULD STOP WORKING. I was perplexed and angry and frustrated, so I went to sleep. I did a system recovery and everything is fine now, but like, still. Really irritating. I would get a new laptop for my birthday in April, but screw that, I'm totally getting a DS XL because my DS Lite is now royally buttocked. I love XL things, especially XL burgers and jugs...
...you just get so much more orange juice in there.
Anyways, time for me to harp about some new music for a small while. This time 'round, its the album 'The Winter of Mixed Drinks' by Frightened Rabbit. I discovered this band a couple of months ago while on one of my regular music hunts, and I was immediatley in love, which isn't common for me - I'm damn well difficult to please. But this band really struck me because f just how much real emotion was in their music - youcan literally feel the swaying of feelings in the band as they play, its fantastic. So, I was pleased when I stumbled upon this bran new album while flicking my way through he sexy halls of the iTunes Music Store. Its a slightly livlier album than the second album, 'The Midnight Organ Fight', and so I was worried that this added energy and volume would distract from the raw power of the songs, but it really didn't. Theres alot of build up in the album, many of the songs take their time in adding layers to the music and it works really well as the Achoo-noo Scottish vocals soar through the lyrics. I particularly enjoyed 'FootShooter', which has a lovely section of vocal 'Oohing' going on, and that really floats my musical boat. 'Skip the Youth' is another stand out track; in one bit the backing vocals chant 'here come the drums' as the beat of the song picks up, and its fantastic. For fans of 'Mumford & Sons', this would be a decent purchase as the bands are fairly similar (I'm not a fan of M&S, by the way, jut to confuse you a bit). Amazon provides this album for the cheapest price as far as I'm aware.
AND THATS ALL HE WROTE. Nearly. Until next time,
Glen.
