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!

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 :(
