I went to see Mastodon last night
they were astoundingly good, I am amazed that a group of people can not only be technically that good at playing, but actually know over an hours worth of very complex progressive metal off by heart.

My car has also been returned to it's usual state of noisiness by the nice garage round the corner, the new hard drive for my laptop arrived and was installed without any problems and I've managed to get adobe acrobat working properly on my desktop again.

So all in all, things are going pretty well for me at the moment, and I don't want to tempt fate, but last week I wasn't very happy at all as lots of things had the potential to go very wrong.

Why are you feeling generally pretty good about life?

no depressing shit about being an alcoholic or anything please, it's your own fault if you can't stop drinking, don't try and make it my problem.

You'd be surprised...
If you've been an integral part of writing the song it's incredibly easy to remember.

You must be able to remember lyrics to songs, right? It's the same as that.

As far as I'm concerned, when I've learnt a song, it's there for life. I currently play in 3 bands, each with over an hour's worth of giggable music and I don't generally forget any of it. I can still remember all the stuff from my old band's sets too...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Thu 25 Feb 2010, 14:49, Reply)

it's often puzzled me
that it is (mostly) only bands in this sense of the word that don't have music in front of them.

The part for an individual in an orchestra, provided they are of an appropriate standard, can't be any harder to remember, so why do they need music? You can argue that it is because of the dynamics or whatever, but I can remember when I need to play louder or quiet or fast or slow or whatever.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Thu 25 Feb 2010, 15:09, Reply)

Because orchestral musicians have absolutely no rhythm or feel whatsoever.
They're trained to be machines that only do what they're told, in much the same way as one of those old organs with the punched paper music roll things... They're essentially covers bands don't forget, and we all know that they're generally the ones who couldn't make it with they're own ideas.

There's no arguing how incredibly good some of them are are playing what they're told and of course there will be exceptions to the rule but it think that's what it boils down to. They don't have to think about what they're playing so would have no idea how to if it was ever required.

That and the fact that every conductor/whatever probably has a slightly different arrangement of the same piece so even if they did 'learn' the stuff it would never sound any good all together as they'd all be playing differently. Also quite difficult to have a 'band practice' when each song is an hour long or whatever...
(Colonel Santiago Introduced surprised kitty to the world., Thu 25 Feb 2010, 15:28, Reply)

nicely explained
however, an hour long song is easy!

I am jealous, I want to see Mastodon
Instead I'm ill at work, waiting for my appraisal, and then tomorrow I'm being driven up to Morpeth of all bloody places!

It's the most exciting place there is on this planet and you know it.

But it's MILES away!
I am going to annihilate TGB at the Stobart game though.

You're not wrong 301 miles from my house!

I've actually been there.
I waited at Morpeth train station at 7am for 4 hours for a (late) train to Edinburgh once. Yeah, they have no cafe or vending machines cos it was such a tiny village shit-hole. Had to buy a bacon sandwich on the train. It cost £4.50 and they fucking microwaved it.

I was fucking livid.
Went a bit mental at them to be honest.

Early Morning + Lack of Food + Rip off train merchants + a grumpy girkfriend who decided to berate me as it was CLEARLY my fault

= A very angry Colonel ricocheting around the food carriage shaking an empty wallet at the frankly terrified train staff.

Was lucky not to have been thrown off at the following stop but it was the last straw.

Silly colonel
You can't eat a bacon sandwich through a straw...

Could have been worse
You could have been waiting at Ashington. Passenger trains stopped running from there in the 1960's.

It's not that big a deal
Mogwai are fantastic live and are equally, if not more, 'progressive' and noisy bastard. Tortoise are great live too. They're professionals, they've got to be able to play their own stuff.

Great big deal.

I saw Tortoise last November at The Garage
They were so utterly terrible I left after three tunes with my very embarrassed 'Tortoise are amaaazing live' friend in tow. Really, they were fucking awful.

Boris, however, put on one of the most awe-inspiring gigs I have ever seen when i saw them at Cargo, also last year. They were completely and utterly brilliant.

Boris and Sunn O)))
Very heavy shit. I like Tortoise- interesting that they mainly come froma hardcore background and sound the way they do.
