I finished a new little batch of songs this morning, go here to check them out. It's called Steady State EP. It's not really a big-deal release for me like Scud Of Freedom was, so I'll leave it at that...

Found a couple more compilations with Queen on them at work, and sure enough, they both had Queen as the first track. Hmmm.

I don't think it's got anything to do with my new-found respect for Yulia, but look at this pie chart showing the stats for lunaspark.net.

I get more hits from Russia than anywhere else. What's not shown in that graph though is another statistic: they barely download anything. The Americans and NZers do, though. And the Brits aren't too bad...

I'm glad to see Scud Of Freedom was downloaded 10.7 times in January though...

Anyway, I've uploaded the second re-recording of the year, this one's called I Singled Out Your Heart. Right-click save-as. It's a re-recording of this track, which sounds primitive and crap in comparison!

2003-me wrote some good songs, but had no idea when it came to production...

Camp A Low Hum is only a few days away now. I need to find something to sleep on - at this stage it'll probably be a crumpled-up duvet.

And on another note... how about that retard John Key? "Yeah, we're going to give school dropouts the chance for free tertiary education - fuck those brainy cunts who actually complete school when they're 16 or 17 and choose to study, they can fucking pay. And the rest of you kid? Off to the fucking army, you scum."

Can someone please give this guy a good cockpunching?

Here's a review of my new album Scud Of Freedom, from Nexus magazine. You can download it for free still, if this convinces you. (Yeah, it's not my third album, it's the third this year, but hey. Not complaining.)

<emo>First I slept in a bit longer than I wanted cause [info]tariqa left a bit late and I didn't realise what time it was, then I couldn't get the laptop to record the interviews from my dictaphone, then when I could, the laptop's battery run out part way through so I had to do it again, then I got to uni and everyone was talking about a party they all went to on the weekend that I wasn't invited to, then the computer I logged onto's sound wouldn't work so I couldn't transcribe my interview Bomber and Thane Kirby from Alt TV, then I realised I'd left my notes from Alt TV at home, so I came home to get them and realised I'd also forgotten to return Tariqa's library book, so I grabbed that and went back to uni, then I realised I'd left the notes at home again, so I went home again after dropping off Tariqa's book and a DVD at work after I returned the case for Smokin' Aces with the wrong disc, then the printer wouldn't work properly so I installed the new one we got with the new laptop, then I went back to uni and couldn't find the library (see below), when I did the lady at the copy centre wouldn't let me use my own coloured paper in the cheap photocopiers and made me pay the expensive rate for their 'service', then she didn't copy what I wanted copied properly so had to do it again with a selection of different coloured paper of her choice cause I wasn't allowed the colours I wanted cause they are 'more expensive', despite the fact I'd supplied my own paper and was paying the more expensive rate for their 'service', then I couldn't find my class cause the AUT campus, which our class hardly ever steps foot in, is a maze of stairs and passageways and levels and things, and at one point I found myself on the marae, and the way out was padlocked, so I had to go the long way, then it turned out I'd gone to the wrong room, and when I found the correct room no one was there, so I went back to the newsroom and found a few people who said class was brought forward an hour, but no one told me, so I missed out on finding out who exactly I'm spending next week in Hamilton with or what transport/accomodation/etc we've organised, so I transcribed the notes and went home, then went to open my notes only to find no office or word software is installed on this laptop, and I still can't find my Gary Numan review on Stuff.co.nz, and the luna spark website was down cause too many people have downloaded my new album.</emo>

Okay, that last thing's probably a good thing, in some ironic way. It's back up now.

As for the library, you know you're living in 2007 when... you're in your second semester of uni and you don't even know where the library is exactly cause you've never used it. And you know you're an amateur musician when the first time you use the library, it's to photocopy album covers.

And as a reward for getting through all that emo, here's my aforementioned new album. Read about it on the website. I'm too bleh (that's like blah and meh, their powers combined) to go on about it right now. Open Office just finished downloading, so I'm going to go install that. Then watch Mythbusters instead of writing the news story. This semester is going to be hard.
