practice hash four (or three if you're laurence)

rebessica destroyed my leg. or perhaps it was simon quinlank with his stupid weak lemon drink. or perhaps it was just grilly with his stupid riffage. there's a 'riffage' that should be in bold though. the riffs are coming together. all christmas we've been stuffing them full of pudding and now they've gotten fat.


lookit, rebessica finally has structure and coherence. riffs have beats. chords have bass lines. songs have titles (well, sort of). it's starting to make sense.


we were in the goth room. my memory of it includes red silken drapes, an ornate chandelier and a huge mosaic of naked people. i'm also going to remember a huge luxurious sofa, a drinks bar with free chocolate and a pool. more lush than scary innit. my memory rocks.


songs pretty much nailed include 'love', 'kid in the girl a top' [unsic], 'quinlank' and 'milkshake' (bash smash trash mother fucker). songs worth an honourable mention are 'pretty girls make cakes' (is this a working title?) and 'all the time a sunny beach' (once laurence actually learns the riff - writing in the third person reference). we also did 'idioteque' and 'myxomatosis' which both have potential (to be honest i think idioteque has the most).


like kilroy silk said, "we no longer control our own borders".

we forgot to try out 'flim'.
personally, i was well impressed that we were tight enough for me to get a couple of solos in.
i'm not going to try drumming on 'sunny beach' any more.
re: '..cakes', it's what i want to call the song, regardless of what the lyrics turn out to be. maybe they'll be about some mythical pastry whore, maybe they'l be less coherent, but i never was any good at writing gonzo.

what about the song being set in a junction between two universes, one ours, the other containing some 'outer church' stuff and of course their are several dimensions and blah blah blah. then you have some 'aliens' and 'gods' (including cthulu for obvious reasons) who have a chemical that makes certain words appear real and have another language with extra paranormal charge etc. my point is.. simply have cakes meaning graves and then write the song about killing pretty girls.

duh.
