I’m Very Sorry
Unfortunatley I’m having a family emergency at the moment and am unsure when I will next be able to post. I am very sorry.
Please keep viewing the site. There are a lot of great things to come.
My Father the Philosopher
Just before a gig the other day my car wipers blew a fuse in the car. I didn’t have any spare and it was snowing so my Dad advised I take the fuse from the rear windscreen heater and use it for the wipers.
When I Said that then I couldn’t see out my rear screen [...]
The Most Talentless Causing The Most Aggrovation
This is a trait I’ve found in most of the bands I’ve been in, as have my friends.
Whenever there’s someone who loves to argue and moan about everything it’s always the most talentless person there. They some how make everyones life much harder and some times because they shout so much get hold of a [...]
Temporary Staggered Posts
For a short period my post frequency will change from everyday to every other day. This is whilst I work towards some fresh content for the site.
8th Tone Reunion
Later this evening I’m leaving for lincoln to see Rob (and therefore half of the quarter tones).
It’s going to be my first glimpse of the footage he’s put together so far. If I’m able I might try to steal bit to put together a trailer.

The usual solution to this [...]
A Change to The Site
I’ve been on the case of making a small change to the site but it’s taken longer than I thought to finalize.
I’m hoping that posting this will make me push things along so the there will be something new on the side of my website by the end of the week. . . I hope!
Is Television becoming an Obsolete Format?
This post is inspired by the sheer boredom that TV has generated for me recently. The formatting of programs is getting tired and boring, no longer capturing the audience it used to.
>Please forgive the following rant<
I have mixed feelings about this as I think it’s all too easy in life to spend it in front [...]
Danny Elfman - What a guy!!!
I did my final dissertation at the Conservatoire on Danny Elfman and his film scores.
For those who don’t know, he’s done the music for the big hitters like The Simpsons and Desperate House Wives but really I love his film music. Batman, Spiderman, the Frightners, Nightmare before Christmas, Beetle Juice and so many more. He’s [...]
500 miles in 5 days
I’ve got an epic starting today.
Derby, Bromsgrove, Derby, Wolverhapton, London, Wolverhapton, Derby, Bromsgrove, Birmingham, Bromsgrove, Birmingham finished with a potential Gloucester, Derdy to finish on Wednesday.
I should probably check my oil so my engine doesn’t grind through itself. It’s good to be busy!!
