Hi guys,
I know i've not been blogging for the past one month.
So here,
I'll just give something brief.
Which is sort of a joke...
Since none of my posts are kinda short.
So here.
I think i'm pretty profecient in my guitaring right now.
I can play almost any song you throw at me.
Provided that i like it.
and that the songs has a pattern to it.
cause i tried to play "I Am" by Hitomi from Inuyasha.
And the chords changed too fast.
Also, no specific pattern to follow.
Another song that's hard to follow. Although it has a pattern... would be:
Part Of Your World by Skye Sweetnam.
But its a ROCKIN' good song!!!
I should do a cover on it.
BTW does anyone know how to upload download links up on blogs.
Like a download link to download a song...
To download a song that you uploaded yourself.
tell me if you can find one
Thanks.
Btw.
We have started our band practices.
at Joseph's place.
Though most of our band members are kinda not regular.
Say... Yan Keng.. Or Jerome,
even if they come, both have their problems.
Yan Keng - Plays Wii
Jerome - Plays XBox
but on overall.
we can play 2 songs now:
Blessed be your name,
and One Way. (the song that's playing on the music player on my blog)
It sounds okay.
Considering that Joseph learnt drumming for that song in 2 days. which was kinda fast in my opinion.
If i can, I'll record and upload...
I just need a programme to upload stuff and post a download link on my blog. ONLY.
Now...
We need a band name.
I got a few.
But among all i think "Addition" still makes sense.
Our "band manager" Benjamin thinks its wise to choose a name that reflects us.
Kinda.
What does the name Addition tell about us?
Well, the band started off with just Benjamin and me.
Then Benjamin left.
Garrick joined
Joseph joined.
Jerome and Yan Keng *kinda* joined.
So in a way... our band isn't always the 5 or 4 or 3 people we have now.
Its a add-on of interested people.
But "Addition" sounds a little... I don't know... Corny?
So Joseph suggested:
26th Theory
or something with Theory behind...
Hm...
But i'd rather take a name that doesn't really associate ourselves with 26th coy.
although its quite okay...
but i'd rather not associate names with other organisations.
It just doesn't sound original.
and, if we were ever to break out,
What would people think of the word 26?
"Why 26?" They would ask.
Then comes the tedious task of explaining.
So a few more weeks of thinking and i came up with:
Astray Add-On
I know, it sounds kinda extreme.
but lots of people have approached me to ask if they could join my band.
but for now. Its strictly a BB band.
No outsiders,
although it MAY change in the future.
So applicants! Don't worry, we might be open in the future!
That's why the word "Astray".
Another reason:
I actually had this crazy idea of taking anyone, who, can or cannot play a musical instrument, but are interested, to our band. And then teaching them an instrument.
Something like Hillsong, who has at least 10 and up to 20+ members on the stage on any one time.
Add-on is just another word for addition.
although it does stray away from the real meaning of the word.
But...
you still get the idea.
I just thought that Astray Addition would only mean one person would be an "astray"
then if it were changed to Astray Addition"s" it would look...
Hey, its actually...kinda okay...
but nevermind.
here's this post's challenge:
I need a band name.
Suggest anything, as long as it ain't obscene.
gotta go.
bye.
ciao!
OH YES!!!
ANYONE interested in signing up for the QLC church camp, come find me!
I'm posting this here cause some of the seniors don't know when it is.
bye...
