    As some of you know, myself and my band had our first performance to a crowd on Friday in the school talent show.

    Here's our effort:



    Crappy camera and the school's electronic drums are quite basic, but you get the idea.

    That was pretty well done, fair play :) Played that once or twice with my own band, we didn't like it much though. Not sure what part you were playing there, but the drums/bass/guitar trio played together very well, and I enjoyed the guitarists' clean tone especially!

    Keep on going and hone your performance now ;)

    EDIT: just saw your sig! Very nice drumming, if ye missed a beat at all I didn't notice it! :)

    Currently working on a short animation in Flash, just to practice drawing. Happy with how it looks so far :)

    Flash animation, now there's something I'd like to do myself. If only I were not so desperately poor. :(

    Then I'd get to submit terrible stuff to Newgrounds and insist that I'll make better ones if they vote 5/5.

    More portfolio....I have to do a "study" on one object for my portfolio and present my "studies" on fifteen "sheets of information". It's all a load of bull but you have to do it! Being the weirdo that I am my object is a pheasants claw...lots of people in my class are doing sheep and cow skulls though....not long now until my interview. Sorry if this is massive!!

    That is incredible. I wish I was that talented :o

    Some serious drawing talent there, Arcade Panda! Is that portfolio for college entry of some sort?

    Anyway, we've finally got some music with vocals on our band myspace, so anyone that wants to give it a listen, I'd love to hear some feedback :)

    Lil tip: Play it more,the drum and guitar kind of drift out of sync in places.

    And maybe up the music a note,it'd probably fit better with your singer voice.

    /being a douche

    Really good for a first song though,all you need now is a mullet and a facemelting solo and your set.

    I think that might be something to do with our recorder, all of the instruments were on separate tracks, and may have gone slightly out of sync when we "bounced" them together...

    Or maybe I'm just making excuses :p
    And maybe up the music a note,it'd probably fit better with your singer voice.
    As in, make it higher? Take everything up a fret or two sort of thing?

    That's strange, cause the girl our singer goes to for lessons told us we're forcing her to sing too high, and to take it down a notch.

    So who do I believe? Think I'll go for the compromise and leave it exactly as it is :p

    I like! Singer is very good, and [whatever instrument you play] in particular was excellent.

    I made this for my Junior Cert. wood project a couple of years ago. I thought Calvin Harris's album cover was cool and went from there! :D

    Nice song Bob! Quite a good recording too, I think :) What gear did you guys use? And your guitarist? Sounds nice!


    Anyways, I just wanted to say, in my opinion, although your singer is very good, she seems to be singing way low. Like, I'm a dude, and I sang along with her and it felt low even for me. There's no way that can be 'too high' for her, considering she's female. Just my two cents!

    I'm currently writing a series of poems, some of them are on my blog, don't want to reveal my blog until there's stuff worth reading on them.
    Basically, I want to create a series of poems, one for each month of the year. It may be related to a concept I relate to that time, or an experience I had then.

    Here are two of them:

    december

    the photograph I took last december
    didn't look like the picture hanging on the wall.
    whichever soul painted it
    must start and paint again.

    I stood outside in the frozen world
    and took a photograph
    as snow engulfed the ground beneath us
    and the world turned to ice

    I found an old machine.
    And I used it to capture the scene.
    Frozen in time, as cold as the night,
    Is the photograph I took, shining bright...
    a light in the darkness of my mind,
    the photograph reminds me of that split-second
    in time.

    The painting differed in one way.
    Not only was I captured in the image
    There stood some soul by my side.
    One is an idea, one is a record.
    Neither of them seem to be true.
    Did I lose my way, some cold December?

    So I'll take a brush in one hand,
    and erase the image of what never was.
    I do not know who created it,
    but I will destroy it.

    And leave only a photograph of a frozen moment.
    Frozen in time.
    Eternal.
    (fwiw, here's a photograph I took in January (yes, I know the poem is a bit wrong there) that inspired the poem http://i28.tinypic.com/292xiq8.jpg )
    june

    hope.
    ascend to new heights.
    discover new worlds.
    see the world through new eyes.

    hope. it brought me there.
    on that night, June
    I climbed the mountain
    opened my eyes
    and looked below

    I saw nothing.
    surrounded by mist
    I saw only
    the everlasting glow
    of the sunlight
    shining down
    on the world below
    and giving us
    hope.

    You didn't even see the sun fall from the sky.
    Do you remember? That night? June?
    You didn't even see the mountains below.
    Have you forgotten? It all? The world below?
    You didn't see anything.
    Had you seen it all? And forgotten? Lost your hope?
    You didn't believe you'd see it.
    You only had to believe. Can't you remember?

    stand amongst the clouds
    and look down
    realise that you've got nothing
    other than what you've been given.
    hope.

    Thanks man :)

    You mean recording gear? We're lucky in that we've got a relative of the guitarist who really wants us to do well, and he happens to be in the money aswell :pac: So a few months ago he surprised us and bought one of these

    And it's the balls :p

    Guitarist is using a Mexican Fender Strat with an assortment of pedals :p

    I'll keep that in mind, and while I didn't notice it really before, a few of you have pointed it out now, and it's obvious, thanks :)

    Here's an acrylic painting of some zebras that I painted

    And here's a portrait I did of Dexter Holland from The Offspring. His eyes are a bit (actually...very) wonky...must fix that...eventually!

    You won't wait long for those who carry on."

    It reminds me of the start of a John Montague poem we did, I think it's The Locket. It's starts off something like "Sing a sad song, for the lady who is gone, fertile source of something something.

    If you want I could send you a copy on some glossy photo paper, but I don't really know how to do prints otherwise. I think the site I uploaded it onto (deviantart) do all kinds of prints but, to borrow a Black Books quote, "Don't make me sick into my own scorn". It's all to do with money and royalties and things I can't even begin to pretend to care to understand.

    That would be putting you to trouble then. I was just saying that you could make money from your doodles if the are all like that.

    Ok, so I was practising drawing hands last night, and so, for funsies I decided to have them spell a certain internet site :P

    Sorry about the shíttyness of the picture, it's taken on my phone as I have no camera :(

    Sorry to pimp the band again, but we just put 2 new songs on the myspace page, any comments would be appreciated :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,089 ✭✭✭jefreywithonef


    The first two are pretty good, I like the singer's voice.

    Something happened to my webpage which made Rivers and Rocks play three times over each other, with about one second in between each of them. Turned it into an epic wall-of-sound, lost shoegazing classic. :D

    Not intentionally, but yeah, it does look like it's got something to do with the Wind Fish with the notes and those wings underneath it! It's a reference to another game that appeared on a Nintendo console, one with bears, backpacks and jigsaw pieces.

    You could draw badges on the side like the ones that Russell has on his sash? I dunno if that helps:)

    Oooh thats a good idea! I really have to get the "grape Soda" badge thing in somewhere too. I got the idea off Deviantart (I don't have an account I just look) there are some seriously cool ones hand-done shoes there.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 682 ✭✭✭illiop


    Here!

    These
    are the only other "up" ones I've found, aren't they amazing?

    I started off using acrylics, that's what most of the ones online seem to be done with but I found it difficult to apply so I started using my markers. I can't think of the name right now (and they're downstairs somewhere) but they are they are in most art shops and definately in the "art and hobbies shop".
    They do tend to bleed a little though and are probably not the best for the job but they were just what I had. I would recommend painting a layer of white over the shoe first because they bleed less that way.

    The shoes were just €3 in Pennys. They aren't waterproof and I'd imagine sealent is expensive...but mine don't really fit me anyway so that doesn't matter!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭Arcade Panda


    Those Up shoes are amazing! I'd love to do something like that, there are some pretty funky Pokémon ones aswell!:cool:

    Thanks a million! I'm going to go into Silkes in Limerick and see if they have anything in there. I'm all excited now:)

    The only other Creative Writing thing I've done was a silly Irish song about a bigamist

    I've only just re-found this.

    A silly song I wrote like a year and a half ago (no one will read this, will they? )

    If anyone knows it, I set it to the tune 'Courtin' in the Kitchen'
    Come all ye gather round
    And listen to me tale
    Last night was homeward bound
    But i stopped and had a wail
    For I bumped into Eileen
    She asked what I was thinkin
    I says to her; “You know, you don’t look too bad after drinkin’?”

    With me toora loora la
    Me toora loora laddie
    A-toora loora la
    And me toora loora laddie

    I moved in a bit closer
    To satisfy my hunger
    She said “Do you like fish?
    ‘Cos you smell like a fishmonger”
    At this I took great hurt
    She said “I’m only jokin’”
    She smiled and she laughed as my face she started strokin’

    With me toora loora la....

    She led me by the hand,
    With this i was uneasy
    A Colleen dragging Paddy could look, to others, sleazy
    I entered to her house
    As we kissed one another
    As she turned on the light, standing, staring was her mother

    With me toora loora la....

    Well she raised up a broom
    And madly started screaming
    So I ducked and I manoeuvred and said, “I best be leavin’”
    The mother wouldn’t budge, so I pushed her out the window
    I thought that she was dead, until in the door she walked so

    With me toora loora la....

    And so I stayed the night, outside I left me carriage
    Awoken by her mother, say’s “When will be the marriage?”
    Since you are acquainted with my youngest daughter
    If you do not wed her, then by god, there will be slaughter

    With me toora loora la...

    So later on that day, to her I vowed to marry
    With her mother still in pain, to the pub I had to carry
    I dressed meself all nice as I went to pop the question
    But my suit it got all ripped by an eejit at the session

    With me toora loora la...

    The wedding day it came, i prayed for no disaster
    I grinned as I looked over at her mother all in plaster
    The priest he said to me “Will, as your bride, you take her?”
    When in my marched my wife and says “No he bleedin’ won’t sir”

    With me toora loora la.....

    Chaos did ensue, with everybody screaming
    I said “Will you shut up? And just listen to my feelings:”
    “One wife is too few, and three wives is too many
    But two seems quite alright – just Eileen here and Jenny

    With me toora loora la.....

    So now I’m left with none, but the best of both world’s sampled
    Of wives I’ve had a few, as my wealth it is quite ample
    But Eileen’s always special, To me, she’s like no other
    And the icing on the cake, was the passing of her mother

    With me toora loora la....

    :/
