IDEA!
My idea is the ultimate in collaboration (and stolen quite a lot from the sounds of animals fighting)
Each musician is given the Key/keys and tempo of the piece. Each musician then plays for however long they like, improvising riffs solos or whatever they want for as long as they want. This is then sent to ME! and I listen to it all, cut up all the good bits into usable samples, of varying length and whatever. Then using the samples I have, build them all up into a song. The instruments are not limited, and neither is the musician in any way, anything from the clunk of the mic to the greatest guitar solo of all time will be considered.
and the musicians? Well, it's very tempting to use my friends, and for the time being I probably will, because they're the only people that will read this post!
So, if you're interested my first piece will be based around 120bpm and [EDIT] BMajor but don't feel limited by it, I may or may not use anything and everything you send me.
Of course all profits(lol) will be distributed between the contributers, but this music will be given away free so there won't be any, I'll be releasing the work under an Attribution Non-Commercial Sharealike Creative Commons licence: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/uk/ (thanks Dubber)
Oh, and there's no reason not to send me drum loops, samples, quotes or ANYTHING!
and VOCALS! I imagine vocals will be the least submitted bit, so do what you want down a mic for me ;) you can even record at mine if you want
Drums as well, probablt hard for you to record, but I have a kit here and drum mics so hit me up. Or just record it however you can, even your phones voice recorder will do, and will give the whole thing a very dirty feel as well ;)
Lets do something new and different, save the cheerleader, save the world ;)
PS: link your friends here, I wan't to get this worldwide!
PPS: myspace page now made, website on the way... I hope!

GENERIC!
Just been sat on myspace listening to bands for the last half an hour. I could not tell you anything about any of the bands. From all around the country, there are bands that are trying to write the same song.
I must admit they're shit load better than the horrible electro crap that is being flagged as 'scene' (God fucking damn I hate shitty electro!) but they're still all shit.
Most of them had two lead vocalists, but no talent so they just took it in turns (idiots) and nothing more original than that. But the thing with all these bands is that they are touring the UK, all part of this magical UK scene that allows bland as fuck bands to travel round the country banging underage girls and spending daddys money on beer every night.
I realise that's a total presumption that won't be true most of the time, but the point is that these days, it's not song writing that is making these bands, but who they know and how nice their hair is. I know I'm a bit late jumping on the band wagon here (and hypocritical complaining about their hair :P ) These kinds of bands are what is known as the 'sea of crap' that people wade through searching for real talent.
I guess my biggest fear is that my bands are considered part of the sea by others. I like to think that if we don't stand out now, then we will soon. It'd be nice to be part of something that really helps music develop, rather than another sheep following what has already been. I don't know where music is going at the moment, and I don't suppose that many people do. But every now and again you hear something that is truely new and inspirational. The Outline, played very basic stuff, simple riffs, simple structures, but had a really impressive way of writing songs. I liked it. Enter Shikari (whether love them or not) did they're bit as well, the first commercial sucessful combination of dance and hardcore. Not including Refused, who did it first and better than anyone, but they wern't comercial so there. ES certainly inspired lots of talentless kids to buy micro-korgs.
Anyway, this eventually gets me to my conclusion, in order to prevent the recreation of the same music all the time a new new way of making the music has to be made.

Breakdancing
So... like everyone else in the world I think breakdancing is pretty cool. I mean, sick flips n stuff, it's kinda like parcour without the running and fuck me does it look cool. Unfortunately you need to be good at it or you look like a dick.
I'm pretty fit though, and there's a few things I can do already, so I'm looking at videos on youtube, beginners stuff and this blog is just linking you too my favourites.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=GMJjXReFZUo&feature=related - lols - not breakdancing!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hvL2K54209o&feature=related - little girl lols
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpz9cFYjpo - uber lols

I found a cool website today. It made me lqtm.
http://www.wikihow.com/Be-a-Scene-Kid
and this is my comment on it.
This is really a waste of time, anyone that wants to be scene and needs a guide is clearly not going to pass it off as being scene!
I'm pretty sure people think I'm scene, but I've never tried to do it, infact, my hair is a kind of a joke! Still I really love my music and dress is a way that allows people to see that. Clothing and hair are easy to change, but show some commitment to a style. Tattoos and piercing however show a real dedication, someone with scene tattoos or huge flesh tunnels is clearly going to have more credibility than those without simply because they're put the time, effore, money and their bodies into that choice. Just like sXe kids aren't truely sXe untill they get the tattoo, scene shows this dedication in the same way!
It got me thinking about shit like that... and makes me wanna stretch my ears more, and get my new tattoo soon!
