I Fucking Love King Diamond
I asked Crandall to draw me a picture of King Diamond after I had gone a little crazy delivering pizzas all night, I hope he comes through so I can post it here. He may not, it was a pretty unreasonable demand in fairness but we'll see.
Sorry it's been a long time since I last updated (Like anyone noticed...), I don't have a camera and it seems pointless updating without pictures.
Anyway, I took a job delivering pizzas with my bodyguard The Don so that's taken up a fair amount of time. I'm also working in an office during the afternoons which totally sucks balls as although I'm allowed to listen to music this dude Will keeps turning mine off and making me listen to either Incubus, Rag ...

Shotgun Stories
|
I watched this film with my brother last night called Shotgun Stories that Ben Nichols from Lucero did the music for. I'd never heard of it before but it was awesome, 2 families of brothers at war in Arkensas after the death of their father.
You should check it out if you haven't seen it.
I'm unemployed again after I got offered a job as a postman only to be told (after i'd quit my other job) that they couldn't let me do it because of my knee operation. So now I have to wait for my surgeon to write them a letter to say that I'm fit before I can start. So now I've been out of work for a month with no money, thanks guys.
On top of that the council owes me a load of money that they a ...

RIP Chuck Shuldiner
|
Death are one of my favourite bands, they were one of the pioneers of the Death Metal genre, lending it it's name, as well as one of the most progressive bands of their time. Anyone who is a fan of the band will know that Chuck Shuldiner, the vocalist/guitarist was the driving force behind the band (and the only constant member). Chuck died in 2001 a victim of both a brain tumour and the American health care system which refused to treat him. Although he had insurance, the company refused to pay for vital surgery as it was the second time he had been diagnosed and his insurance had only been taken out after an operation to remove a previous tumour.
He was 32 when he died, his birthday wo ...

Seconds
|
As well as playing in Forgotten Grace, my little brother Adam has an instrumental project called seconds that you should check out if you're into Godspeed, Mogwai and other ambient atmospheric music. Partly because it's really good, but mostly because he's a good dude. He's got CD's for sale right now so give him a listen at www.myspace.com/secondsonline and get yourself a copy if you like what you hear.
In other news, I'm half way through my recovery time and summer seems to be in full effect here so things are looking up... ...

Outbreak Style
|
I watched the film Braindead at the weekend, in which a woman gets bitten by a Sumatran Rat Monkey and turns into a zombie, before going on to infect the whole town and eventually turning into a giant zombie rat monkey. Naturally then, I took the first oppertunity I could to get bitten by a monkey. My friend Chris's mum keeps Pygmy Marmosets and he reluctantly let me in their enclosure for a while on the understanding that they would probably attack me and he wasn't gonna come and help me if they did. Anyway, I get in there and after a few minutes Spike, the dominant male, ran up my leg and perched on my shoulder for a bit, we were buds for a while and it was pretty cool but then he turne ...
