15-02-2011 – *Takes world* / Damn Valentines, you cold!
Quite a nice, chilled week!
It involved…
- Writing/producing a good deal of the new YAWA song
- Finishing uploading the 7 day spotlight on Silent Descent
- Coming up with an idea for a website that I could see being in the top 5 websites in the world one day
- Having an unconventional valentines day
Take the World By Storm
If I hadn’t mentioned already, the new song is titled that, with the main chorus hook being the same lyric.
It’s frickin’ heavy, has a djenty, powerful feel with some awesome synthy overtones; it’s great to go back to some more intricate and interesting music.
I think it’ll be the first one to challenge our musicianship for a while.
Silent Descent!
I got to promote one of my favourite unsigned acts with the 7 day spotlight on boyinaband – giving Tom Callahan recognition for his awesome production work and the band some well-deserved recognition.
A bunch of people commented on their music video saying they were from biab, which made me swell with pride. I think I need a boyinaband flag to be patriotic with. Though I don’t think it’s patriotism if it’s a website.
Anyway, sleep-deprived rambling aside, it’s got thousands of views and the audience liked it, so I’ll look into doing more 7 day spotlights as soon as I can find more artists to do them with!
The Social Network eat your heart out
Well, not just yet, since I haven’t successfully become a web zillionaire from my idea yet, but when I was completely unable to sleep last night I thought up a concept for a website that could change the world. Not that I’m an idealist or anything.
So now to actually make it!
Happy v-v-valentines d-d-day!
I spent a large portion of this year’s corporate love day wrapped in 3 layers of blankets shivering, since cupid accidentally hit me with a poisoned arrow, it seems.
It’s times like that when having a Rachie really has its benefits. She looked after me, and after a short nap I was well enough to get up and watch a TV show on hate speech and child abuse in mulsim faith schools. All in all, a romantic end to a romantic evening.
She also made me a mix CD of songs that reminded her of me, including MSI – bitches, which I was pleased about. And a card from funkypigeon.com – fantastic.
Next time on Dave’s Blog
It’s Rachie’s 18th birthday coming up, so this week I’ll have:
- Rachie’s Birthday
- Rachie’s Party
- Hang out time with my homeslice Ogre (who’s coming up for the party, yay!)
- Boyinaband reviewing (Superior drummer to be precise!)
- Possibly some new developments on the tutorial system for boyinaband.com
