for the first time in 6 years, i jammed on filey street once again.
the old jamming hole that was number 27 is no more, with it being renovated into a two-flat house and the basement sealed. since then, it was either karen‘s rehearsal rooms off west street, firr’s basement or the neon’s room at brunswick. playing at filey street reminded me of the days when we were young(er)*, when jam sesh-es went on until 2am (this time it was midnight unless we want the cops to come knocking on the door) followed by chilling with tea-like diluted nescafe O, marlboros and southern fried chicken.
there is a current crop of six guys who at the moment are pretty active, two of whom are churning out original material day in and day out. jamming with them meant i had to revisit material i have long forsaken. age is catching up with me, no doubt about it. best moment of the evening? playing incubus’ circles and megalomaniac as a three-piece.
we just need a brandon boyd soundalike now.

*talk of another gig in sheffield? we’ll just have to see.
The frustration… The disappointment… The anger…
SIX guys? SIX? That’s two Nirvanas, or one Pearl Jam with that weird dude on keyboards, or three-on-three basketball with a half court.
It was difficult to even get TWO people to play an acoustic set while I was there.
Damnation.
the thing is these guys were in first year when you were in your 4th. we just didn’t know they existed.
u smoke? brandon boyd is cute..
i used to. blame john mclaine.
“story of my life.”
haaa..this time i can comment. i think tea-like nescafe o cair taste really baaddd..
kt: although i don’t bancuh kopi that way, i didn’t mind the taste.
lady: eh, remind me how much you got your ashdown amp for?
brandon boyd whiny weihh…:P
but the songs are really good. the guitars in the latter 2 albums are simply sublime. so textured.
filey street = street of insan2 seni..hehe..mr kudo, can i link u up to mine?

TAHU TAKPE!!
HohOHOhoHoho…
gila punya seronok, eh, mr. alimony suit?
i’m no fucking brandon boyd either… he he…
Ouch! ‘Mr Alimony Suit’ siout!!!
What I meant by getting a PRS if it didn’t work out was… not really a PRS per se, but more of an ‘expensive guitar’, OK?
It’s just that PRS was the most expensive one at the time lah… I’d be happy with a Flying V, honestly.
