Well today's been pretty cool. I slept ten hours last night without any valium, codeine or other drugs in my system... I did have almost a bottle of wine in there but I think I forgive myself that.
Got up in the afternoon and it was snowing pretty heavily so I got bundled up and went to the supermarket and bought some food in for the weekend. Got another bottle of wine which I've not opened yet... there was one glass left in the bottle from last night so I'm seeing how I get on with that.
When I got back I was posting some music on Facebook (I have a niche following of people that listen to my tunes which is kind of cool!!) and I did a search on Youtube for tunes by Salem which resulted in finding a few sick as fuck mixes he did, which are all really fucked up and all kinds of amazing. Not for the faint of heart and the neighbours will be hating me for the bass... but it was worth it. Am listening to "Raver Stay Wif Me" which is a mixtape he did, it's so skewed... not to everyone's taste as it goes from slowed down AliceDJ into dragged out hip-hop into rotterdam hardcore. Ear bleed material to be sure.
I've just had a good session on the guitar. My singing and playing is starting to really sound good. I'm really happy with it at the moment. Unless it's amphetamines drugs and booze tend to make me sound terrible and I can't find the co-ordination to play. At Halloween I blew Blackie and Debbie away with my Adele cover of "Someone Like You"... I stripped the melodrama out of it and sang in my own accent not a pseudo american accent which gave it something really special I think. I was off my face on base at the time... amphetamines make me "me" but better!
Tonight's song was "Speak to me Someone" by Gene. Gene are so similar to the Smiths yet different... I love Martin Rossiter's voice. I've developed a habit of playing the chord sequence of a song over and over then bringing the words in. I only have to look at a chord sequence once and I remember it which is something I think I inherited from my Dad. i've got a lovely Fender Telecoustic but I tend to play on my old acoustic guitar because it sounds better in here... I need more space and a small amp for the Telecoustic.
My mate's just about twisted my arm into going out... I'm so tempted...
