It annoys me that I haven't made much time this week for music. I mean its not like I've been THAT busy I've just been too tired. All those late nights are coming back to haunt me now that I'm having to get up at 6 >_<. What it means is that I aren't progressing with learning guitar as much as I'd hoped to be, I'm still regressing a lot with my piano technique and control (ahh the banes of my life!!!), and my song is not progressing much.


Now it's the weekend. The time when everything I put off doing during the week gets done. Oh, and I have work as well >>_<<


So, yeah. That's pretty much my life right now. I kinda reckoned on having a bit more time for stuff but due to 3rd year uni work and losing 3-4 hours a day on/waiting for public transport I don't. If only late nights didn't have such a major effect 2 weeks later...


And if someone can give me guitar lessons it would be much appreciated :D

Fail and Some Wins

So as you can probably see by scrolling a short way down this page about 6 months (-ish) ago I decided to come back from my unexpected "blog hiatus". And as you can see by the 1 post since then it ... ahh ... yeah. So a bit of a fail there. But I've been busy with uni, work, music, and even helping set up a youth council! So a few wins there.


And now I'm not sure how to carry that on so I'll add a few random thoughts to the end of this post to make it a bit more substantial.

1. I haven't been listening to much of the hard rock or metal on my ipod recently. My playlist has been more along the lines of Chopin, Enya, The Rocket Summer, The Fray, Sigur Ros and an overall mix of soft rock, easy listening, and classical. If anything heavy came up on shuffle I would skip it without hesitating. But since my last exam on Monday I've noticed Red, Underoath, Muse, and other hard and fast tracks have been creeping back in. When I realised it I found it slightly amusing.
2. Remember that 30 day song challenge thing that went around Facebook earlier in the year? I ended up falling behind a bit and never finished it but I've been considering doing it on my Tumblr. I just need to figure out what my favourite song is and trust me that is not an easy task for someone who's Top Rated playlist in iTunes has about 2/3 of the library in it! Watch this space.
3. I'm learning the first song in this clip now. The arrangement is not exactly the same but is similar and I can't play it at anything like this speed yet...
