• Had an SM account for a while now and after a few pints of Stella it seems like as good a time as any to write some crap here that people will read and go "woah, that was a waste of time." And even if no-one reads it, pfft, iono. Aint the end of the world. So, music eh? Music pisses me off if i'm honest. There's so much crap around today, it's hard to get through it all to find the good stuff. If anyone at all is reading this try listening 'God Is An Astronaut'. Irish band, instrumental (that means no singing if you're an idiot) but very, very good. They've got a few albums but i think the best is 'All Is Violent, All Is Bright'. Though 'The End Of The Beginning' isn't bad either Getting more into instumental stuff these days, nothing ticks me off more than a band that have excellent music that's ruined by a shit singer. SOAD are a perfect example of that (he can't sing, deal with it) Cant go wrong with stuff like Isis and Mogwai. Now, i better write some stuff about my pain and sorrow and how shit my life is blah, blah. But no-one wants to read that, so i wont. I genrally find that stuff funny as hell anyway. How can anyone take it seriously? I laugh my head off reading some of these journals. Yeah this is getting kinda long, so if you've made it this far i apologies. Life and things, lets see, lets see... Well, i finish all 220 episodes of Naruto last night, great anime if you havent seen it. Imagine Dragonball Z, but with a story and better charcters. Actualy no, that doesn't do it justice, just watch the damn thing. Too optimistic to think there are any West Ham Utd fans on SM? My god... I wonder why we do sometimes. Still going. Bored yet? Lets see. Isis - Wrists Of Kings is just finishing on my mediaplayer. Great track, i'm not so keen on the screaming, but on the whole its good. Shame there's no reply to these things, i'd really like to hear some suggestions for Isis-like bands. You have to think about it a bit more than most music. And the best type of music is the music that makes you thing. Which brings me to my next bit of a rant... No-one wants to play my music... No, really? I live in this place in Wales. (bit of rock bolted on to the UK if you really dont know, google it or something) I'm a bassist, but no-one around here seems to want one. Not one that wants to play anything a little bit different. It's all indie. (Killers, Kasabian, Snow Patrol all that crap thats coming out of britain, indie or whatever you wanna call it) Post-rock (or so i'm told is what it's called) is the way forward, there are a few band cropping up like God Is An Astronaut and Young Mountain that i think (and hope) will make it atleast a little bit big. They deserve it for doing something at little bit different. What i'm trying to say in bits of this journal is. Listen to something a little different, something you don't know. I've always bought music like this. Go to your record shop. Pick a random CD that you like the look of by a band you've never heard of. Listen to half of the first track of that CD in the shop, buy it and take it home. I've found most of my favourite bands that way and you should atleast (if you havent already) try them. Smile Empty Soul, Oceansise (for Isis, Tool fans), Switched, OneSideZero (highly, highly recommend) Hurt (very, very good, i think toured with Alice In Chains recently, cant recommend enough) finally, ShadowFlag, as far as i know, their not signed yet, but its a crime if they never do get signed, there's mp3's on their site to download and they've probably got a myspace too(everyone and their dog does). Anyways. If you've actually bothered to read all this. Thank you and i'm sorry for taking up your time. Cheers Mouse - Someplace called Aberystwyth in Wales.
