Testes testes, one two. :: cough ::

It’s sound check day today…..12.1.12 Geddit?

What’s the world coming to eh? I popped on the BBC evening news, only to be told that Tesco hadn’t made a wazza amount of profit during 2011 (only £89,328,923,932, small change innit?) whilst Sainsbury’s had somehow managed to make loads of wonga; guess they sold more pigs in blankets this Christmas?

BBC news suddenly switched pace and mood to sensationally cover the story involving the youtube video footage that is currently causing outrage all over the world; that of US marines who were filmed urinating on dead Taliban troops. I was really, really shocked. I honestly thought that Tesco would make an obscene amount of profit this year given that they have more shops per square mile than McDonalds AND KFC?

As for the US Marine story, blimey, it’s a sad thing when you realise that you’ve actually gotten used to seeing things like that in the news? The idiotic jarheads filmed each other whilst taking a slash over poor old Mustapha Leik’s gladrags (perhaps they took his name too seriously?) so that it could be some kind of neanderthalistic war trophy?. A keepsake to show their grandchildren perhaps?

Yippeekayamotherfucker! Bet their families are proud!

Tiziano Crudeli

Tiziano Crudeli is currently doing the rounds in the Ladbrokes adverts on tv; I am a huge fan of his because you simply can’t beat this man’s passion for football and his beloved AC Milan!!!

I would love to see him commentate on Sky Sports; even if it was just for one game!

What do we get instead? Alan “I love Arsenal and live in the past” Smith.  How care you compare!?

Tiziano, I salute you!  FANTASTICO

‘Frank’ – Work in progress – Demo Take 1

I woke up today and  fancied doing a spot of music; I ended up further developing ‘Frank’ (working title, thanks Paul).  ‘Frank’ is a continuation of the C Major tuned guitar idea that I had before I took my trip to the States in October.

Today presented a few recording challenges (as always) because I haven’t got a pair of headphones and had to find levels and mix the master using in-ear earphones and that’s never a good thing!  I also have a blister the size of a jelly tot on my middle finger thanks to the glissando riff within the song!  Definitely need to practice more too to build my calluses back up!

The demo is guitars only, and I used the following on the track:

  • Cort Acoustic guitar for the main pick guitar and rhythm accompaniment
  • Danelectro guitar using my mini Orange amp with a bit of distortion on it for a high end chord/drone sound (the mini Orange amp is amazing!)
  • Danelectro with the Electro Harmonix sitar pedal

I’m going to think up a heavy drum pattern this week and do it all again with percussion at some point this month as I think it’ll sound much better with a big wall of sound and groove driving it!

Here we are anyway, a work in progress as usual! 

2012 – Off we go!

Right.  So that’s 2011 done and dusted, thank fuck for that!

Why am I still up at 3:00am???  I can’t sleep for some reason, so I have just spent my insomnia in a productive fashion and updated the site content; particularly the main site pages.

I’ve updated ‘Kev’s Bio’ Page as I felt that needed doing (added a bit more for the recent years section within it).  I also sorted out the ‘Antikrish – About’ page to give someone a better idea what the blog is about and I have generally tweaked with a few other minor (not literally tweaked minors!) bits so that the site reflects what it’s being used for these days.  That is to say, less focus on the music that Alex and I don’t do anymore and provide more focus to my ‘Antirants’ and site posts!.  Marvelous.

I think I’ll go and crash out now for a few hours; I’d like to wish anyone reading this a very properous and healthy 2012.

Love light and peace.

Antikrish.

Space Hopper from play.com

I bought Lorraine and Paul a Space Hopper each from Play.com this year for Christmas; a representation of the fact that I’ll do almost anything for a cheap laugh!

If you grey up in the 1980’s, you’ll know a Space Hopper is, if you didn’t grow up in the 1980’s, click this link and buy one (unless you have Osteoporosis, in which case it’s not a good idea!).

£7.99 –Space Hopper – Play.com

And so it came to pass…..yadda yadda yadda!
