:wave: most people assume my name is Herbert. However it is not. Emily's the name.


See! I'm making a conscious effort to try and mingle here more often now :D
 
So tomorrow, my jazz band is competing in Bridewater. Actually, it's not even my band, I'm just doing a feature with the other guitarist on "Oye Como Vay." I get to miss all of school. :) And then I get to miss next Friday again for my original jazz band at school. And sometime I believe I am trying out for Newark jazz band.

So besides jazz, I'm working on a lot of stuff lyric-wise but I can't seem to put it together as a whole. I have great lines but I can't seem to connect them and make a whole song out of them. I also tried to change my style so it is not as boring and cliche as I used to write. So I may be posting soon.

And I just started a band with an awesome bassist, a decent vocalist, and a drummer that doesn't listen to anything besides hardcore. So we're pretty much limited to stuff along the lines of Minor Threat, Bad Brains, Black Flag, and maybe some newer hardcore such as Refused. I actually like playing that style a lot, it's easy to write, sing, and fun to play shows.

And that is all. Sleep.
 
****zuyuh I am. BVS owns my heart, as some emo kiRAB I know would say. :P





Ah my bad subtle. I always thought I heard influence in their music, the whole "math metal" thing going on. Its all good, both good banRAB.

Also, what do you think of DEP live? Their new(er) vocalist kinda doesnt put on the best of a show live (show and vocals... sounded all the same, plus he swore at us :( ). The guitarist, on the other hand, controles the world. Them with ETID, Zao, and Misery Signals was worth the $10 though. :)
 
So after about 20 beers, I went outside (about 4am) and had a screaming contest with some guy in a local band. It was rediculous. How was everyone elses night?
 
Yeah, so about that In-Depth thread ... I would critique it because I hate to see a guy hanging, but I don't feel like writing a full page of text that basically amounts to

I Don't Get This.

Edit: The title is oddly sexual.
 
Very influential song for me would be Rush - 2112. That and Yes' "Tales From Ropographic Oceans" album have been very inspiring in my sprawling/rambling compositions (see the Epic for details), and have given me a fair share of ideas on how it ought to be done, or at least how it has been done right before.
 
Haha...I did notice that, everyone seems to have lots of crits. Pity no one's around in here though. We are meant to be a community!

But we can't complain...as long as they keep crit'ing everything's good!

Oh man...same avatar craziness. Joel (PDWAB) did that to me for Halloween and it killed me :(

So anyone want to do me a huge favor and just read this over and tell me if it's even decent? Like whether it's a plausible start or whether I ought to scrap it. More feedback is appreciated, of course, but at the least I'd like an outside perspective on it. Thanks. :)

/is zep if that garners any favors (a)
