well I've been quite busy today.... went to school to re-do the drums for my band's EP.... must say with AKG C214s as overheads the quality is amazing...... and another bonus is that the drums actually have structure now because I've written out proper beats

well I've just talked to the singer to confirm when we can get the vox finished and i still need to have a chat with the guitarist about finish all the guitar parts so hopefully i should have a complete EP by the end of the week......

all that needs to done now is the graphics work..... i already have the album cover finished so just need to do the inner sleeve......

feeling pretty fudgeing good now though...

well I've already posted a demo in the music section but I'll post the same here

I'll probably be using my blog to update on the band during the summer so if you like this song keep an eye out for more......

not too long ago i cracked the screen of my old psp and completely messed it up trying to remove that screen ready for a new one....(i got that psp on the day of the uk launch so at least it had a fair run....) well a friend was willing to sell me his one but instead i ended up trading him a blu-ray drive from my old ps3 which i intended on selling,.... all i need is for pspkiller to make me a pandora battery to downgrade it and then i can get back to using all the homebrew i kept on my old mem stick.....

okay.... i may have a thread about it somewhere but I'll post a pic anyhow....

this is my kit as it stands now...
