Bored [again] and more info on Buddy Guy…………..

So, yeah I’m bored [again]. This 13 week holiday doesn’t seem as good as it appeared before I left school…..
Anyway, I just got a Gamecube [yesterday] and it’s amazing :). By far better than any current-gen consoles (e.g. PS3/360). OK the graphics might not be as good, but the games are excellent! Been playing Super Smash Bros and Zelda: Windwaker all day today, but you can only play a console so much before it becomes boring….. Anyway, Gamecubes are great fun, and really cheap (mine was £8 without postage costs) so you should really get one :).

I’m still listening to Buddy Guy’s new album “Skin Deep”, and I still love it! I’ve noticed quite a few people were visiting my “Buddy Guy-Skin Deep” post, so I’ve managed to get a mailing list address for all those of you who are interested in finding out more, or listening to free online streams of the album.

You can sign up to the Buddy Guy-Skin Deep mailing list at: www.earbender.com
Or alternatively you can sign up by sending an email to: earbender@eathlink.net - just title your message with “Mailing list join request” to find out more about the new album!

I’ll leave you with the a new photo of Buddy Guy from the promotional material for his new album

Buddy Guy-Skin Deep Image

Once again, thanks for the promo album John!

Buddy Guy - New Album! (Skin Deep)

Well, I just received my promotional copy of Buddy Guy’s new album - Skin Deep.

After listening to it I thought I’d write a bit about it here.

Well, what can I say apart from the fact that this is his best album yet!

With guest appearances from Eric Clapton, Derek Trucks and Robert Randolph, it is certainly worth a listen when it comes out.

The release date is 22nd July, and when it comes out, I highly recommend buying it! Whether you like blues music or not, you will love this album, just for the shear brilliance of his guitar skills! He truly is a musical genius!

You can pre-order it from amazon here: Pre-Order Skin Deep!

Anyway, great album, highly recommend - and thanks for the promo CD John!

Another pic to leave you all with, this time it is related! The legendary guitarist in action:

What do you find a attractive in a girl?

After a rather confusing conversation at times in which porn and several other images were brought up, I thought I’d make this post.

What do you find attractive in a girl? (or guy if you are female. Or gay.)

T’was interesting to hear the idiot and the bassist say that even if someone was “ugly” but they got along, they could spend the rest of their lives with them. I’m not so sure though, I’d have to find someone mildly attractive at least. To quote my part from the conversation, this is how the idiot and the bassists relationships will pan out:

Man- “Oh I love you so much, lets get married and spend our lives together”

Woman- “Ok lets have sex”

Man- “No”

Woman- “Why?”

Man- “Because every time I look at your face I want to puke”

Is it just me, or is this relationship doomed to failure?

Not that I’m shallow or anything *shifty eyes*

Anyway, here’s a nice pic to end it all off:

Stupid copyrights……..

Bored and tired…..

Pretty much as title says, I’m bored and I’m tired.

I’m currently listening to some Soundgarden - a few years old, but great music. It’s the former band of the lead singer from Audioslave, Chris Cornell (he also went solo for one of the James Bond themes). Anyway, that’s how bored I am, I have to wrtie about what I’m listening to.

Went to a wedding yesterday, which was alright. Not many people I knew but it was still fun, even if it did rain. Constantly. But hey, that’s the Scottish weather for you.

Still haven’t seen Toms Hitler cat. I really want to, so I’ll try and post pics when I do finally manage to see it

Oh, and I just bought myself a gamecube for some retro gaming - Nintendo style! Kind of an impulse buy, and got loads of games. Too many probably. Infact no, you can’t have too many games. EVER. Also got a gameboy advance for some pokemon, I love that game

Anyway, I can’t be arsed wrighting anymore, because I am so tired. I’ll add more in another post, but for now I’m going.

Oh, if you have last.fm add me at www.last.fm/user/neillya1

That MSN conversation with Tom and Nikki is calling me with it’s flashing icon at the bottom of my screen. Should really go and see what the idoit and the bassist are up to I guess.

I’ll leave you with a completely random and unrelated picture today, because I can’t think what to put.

Who ever said blashphemy wasn’t fun?

Sam has a blog! (and other much more important stuff)

Well, Sam jumped on the bandwagon today and got himself a blog.

Wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t criticse it, so I will.

Firstly, he used my now copyrighted “end with an image” idea. That’s right, I copyrighted it. Anyone who uses that owes me money, or you can wake up next to a horses head. Your chocie (I am in no way affiliated with the mafia). It has nothing on it at the moment, and as such, you should stay here. Yes, please do, I am much more interesting than Sam.

If you really want to visit his “blog” then you can here:

www.whatanoob.com www.jonespwns.wordpress.com

Now for the more important stuff:

What could be more important than Sams blog? Well, most things to be honest……

Anyway, my band needs publicity, so visit our myspace (please, I’ll pay in sex gold coins) at www.myspace.com/elalameinband

We are a Garage Rock/Blues/Rock band - no decent music yet, but just wait - We’ll blow your socks off! (assuming they are rather loosely placed on your feet  Honestly!)

Also, I’m in Scotland just now For a wedding tomorrow :(. I hate weddings, so boring. Anyway, I’m sure it’ll be fine. Back home tomorrow and hopefully I’ll get to see Tom’s new cat. Apparently it looks like Hitler

I would leave you now with my (copyrighted) method of ending another pointless blog post with a picture, but for some reason pictures aren’t uploading to the blog, so I’ll add it another time.

 

Off to listen to some Black Rebel Motorcycle Club now (they are great, and not many people seem to know about them, so I’ll give them some free publicity).

Here is their website: http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/

Also, just a quick note about Buddy Guy - Did anyone see him at Glastonbury, and know where  can find a video of him? BBC2 decided to show only 1 song, and I was really looking forward to seeing more

Buddy Guy at the Bridgewater Hall - Wow!

Wow, what a concert that was. He is truly amazing, and so energetic! I definetly recommend that anyone who hasn’t goes to see him.

A few times he was out in the crowd, sitting next to people and playing his guitar, as if he was friends with them, just chatting away.

Perhaps the best bit was when he ended up right up the top of the hall, after playing all the way up the several flights of stairs. Of course, he got a huge cheer when he made it!

There was one rather annoying guy that decided he wanted to argue with him about a comment he made on Muddy Waters, but Buddy Guy was exceptionally calm about it, and said “You obviously know more than me - teach me”. The whole audience broke out in laughter as we all realised what a prick this person really was.

Anyway, a fantastic concert, one of the best live musicians I have ever seen by far, and looking good for his age! Also has a fantastic voice, as well as his exceptional guitar skills. He is also a great comedian, a really funny guy and a great storyteller!

Chicken Boosh over at last.fm wrote a great review on the show, it can be found here:

http://www.last.fm/user/Chicken_Boosh/journal/2008/06/26/21ivuv_buddy_guy_%40_the_bridgewater_hall%2C_25th_june_2008.

Someone has kindly uploaded a video of “It Feels Like Rain”, one of the best songs of the night:

I will definetly be trying to get tickets if he comes round here again!

Sams Blog:

I have my own site! (And Buddy Guy!)

Yeah, I have my own site now (other than this blog).

It’s a music based search engine/link site, so please visit it and tell me what you think. Any comments or suggestions on it just post them here and I’ll try to improve it

Address is: www.music-engine.co.uk

And I’m off to see blues legend Buddy Guy at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester tonight. Should be great. For all those who don’t have a clue who I’m on about, it’s this guy:

Looks happy, and likes his polka dots.

I’m on the front row basically for seats, so I’ll snap some piccies on my phone, and will upload them here.

www.music-engine.co.uk

Wow, an update!

Keeping this short, will add another more detailed post later.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates, I’ve been busy with a mixture of exams and doing bugger all.

Just writing this so you all know that I will still be posting, I haven’t forgotten about it.

Finished my exams last week and VERY bored already, so expect a lot more posts. Anyway, it’s 1:30AM just now, so I’m gonna try catch some sleep - I’ll be back to posting normally tomorrow!

Until I return I shall leave you to awe in the wonder of Gary and his amazing invention - the weather predicting stone.  Probably more accurate than the BBC forecast anyway

Off to sleep now!

Wow, Alex’s Blog! Oh, and spam

You should check out Alex’s blog at: http://longhairedmuppet.weebly.com/blog.html

Why you say? Why not I say! Of course mine is much better, always will be

Anyway, shameless plug out the way, I’ll get on to what I was going to write about.

SPAM:

Yeah, that’s right, SPAM. Not the plasticy re-processed “meat” stuff, although that is pretty damn awful, but email spam.

I really can’t stand the stuff, and I get more shit in my inbox every day. So, Mr Chinese man if you are reading, I don’t wan’t your “Genuine Nikees Tranners And Reel Pooma Shoes”, take your spam and shove it elsewhere.

Oh, and Mr Nigerian man, who keeps telling me that “Friend of mine put away £8,000,000 for you in bank account. Email me your bank details and credit card number and I will send to you”, piss off.

Actually, I emailed the last Nigerian Man back, pretending to play along. I’ll post any replies I get, see how much I can take the piss out of him

And those dammed viagra emails. What the hell, I don’t want “Reel gEnUine vIagRa for $1 eAcH” - FUCK OFF!

So yeah, rant over, and I’ll post any messages I get in reply from “genuine” Nigerian man. Should be fun.

In the mean time, I leave you with a lovely picture of some obviously mentally retarded man dressed in a SPAM outfit:

Oh well, at least he looks happy. Think he needs to go in a home though

And to all you spammers out there:

Think of the kittens! The kittens!

A random poem type thing from someone elses blog. I found it funny:

Mister Spam Man, turn off the stream
Make it the last one that I’ve ever seen
Please just stop it and make it over
Please please please just make it over
Spam Man your so alone
Don’t have no web-site to call your own
Please turn off your endless stream
Mister Spam Man, bring me my dream
Mr Spam Man please give me a break
I’m just not sure how much more I can take
I’m just not interested in farm insurance
Not to mention services like quality assurance,
Mr Spam Man, I don’t need debt advice,
Nor wish to visit any porn sites,
Please don’t tell me about tramadol
Mr Spam Man, don’t tell me anything at all

Euro 2008

Well, it started last week sometime (I think). Anyway, I don’t really watch football, I have better things to do than watch men in tight lycra shirts run around a grass field kicking a ball for 90 minutes.

Having said that, I would like Holland to win :).

Go Holland!

Anyway, go ahead and flame me for not liking football, I can live with it. Formula 1 will always be superior in every way

Besides, football brainwashes young children and turns them into evil demonised monsters. Just look at this kid:

^ Evil or what ‘eh?

Oh, and it turns you into a raving homosexual:

Oh well, rant over. Bye!
