Well the jamming session didnt happen due to unforseen circumstances, but I dont mind. Recently we have been preparing the house for renovations and I was happy to help my dad in the removal of trees, plants and blue stone. On Wednesday the builders start building a new veranda, then they build the carport and future works include a new kitchen, bathroom and bricking off some stuff.

Also my father and I have agreed that sometime next year we will convert under the house into a music/recording room for me to let my musical creativity go wild. This will also help with future band recordings seeing as a proper studio can cost thousands and I can just make one for a few hundred bucks. Along with my current project Exit Light, I will also be doing some independant stuff, similiar to that of black metal icons Burzum and Xasthur, or more for my dad to relate with, Mike Oldfield.

I'm excited at the idea of doing my own stuff where I'm not held back by anyone else, but theres also the issue of learning other instruments. I'm already an okay drummer due to my ability to play things by ear, though the theoretical knowledge is lacking, and I am pathetic at guitar seeing as I am pick dyslexic. But we shall see around this time next year.

Also in relation to music on friday we were able to use the music room to play some stuff. Twisted14 was there and if you read his blogs he mentioned an incident in which he played guitar quite crappily. Well this time he was actually really good, playing songs like Motorbreath by Metallica and even Eruption by Van Halen which even stunned the other guitarist there. There were 2 other friends there but they mainly watched or messed on drums.

Along with playing (crappy, out of tune) bass, I played some drums and even without a bass drum (damn protector thing) I managed to play a basic version of the intro to Orion by Metallica. Sounded pretty cool and I got a good feel for the drums. Still a crap guitarist though :P

Currently listening to: The Lodge by Agalloch.
