The 'What happened to you today' thread

[Dark Lord Cam]

Today I realized that I hit a wall in my quest to find songs I like. This quest began a short time ago when I got an iPod and decided that I needed to start listening to music. (For those of you that don't know, before this iPod, I almost never listened to Music. So while I'm stuck I decided to simply rock back and forth in my chair listening to Shadow on the Sun. Over and over and over and over...

Pandora and Last.fm. Period.

Well, last night's gig, all considered, went better than the one on Sunday.

For a start, I didn't think it would. Getting home at ten past 6 and being required to be at the other end of town for 7 is a tough order but I just about made it, thanks to my discovery that I can eat fish and chips with one hand whilst packing gear up with the other.

At soundcheck I bought a harmonica mic off one of the other guys that was playing (it was pre-arranged, obviously) which didn't work. So we swapped the mic around for a different one, and that didn't work either. So we swapped the cable round, and that didn't work. We plugged into a different socket on the wall box and that didn't work. I can't remember what we did eventually to make it work, but I did get sound coming through at some point.

Then I discovered that my mandolin is quite susceptible to interference from stage lights when I plugged in, but I used a footswitch and my ingenuity to solve that problem.

So, after it took us 20 minutes to soundcheck I was convinced the gig was going to be awful, but we actually played an absolute blinder until the last song, which I should add is my favourite one in the set to play. The singer snapped a string (the D string, which if you're just strumming chords is quite an important one) and despite me doing my best international sign language for 'Keep going' the song just sort of spluttered to a halt. I shouted in mock outrage that she'd ended it just before my solo, and someone shouted out for me to play it anyway. Cue me stamping out a beat on the floor as loud as I could whilst playing a completely over-the-top blues harmonica solo - great fun, I have to say.

Get a last.fm profile, not so much for the actual listening, but for finding bands.
Plus you can get some software to scrobble music from your iPod.
Couldn't say about Pandora, tbh, but that or Spotify be good if you can get them.

I woke up after sleeping for 22 hours.

Damn, my records only at 17.

Today I spent lunchtime walking around like a character from Morrowind.

[Generalno1]

[Cactus]

I've slept for 36 hours before, but that's because I have narcolepsy, so I'm not sure if it counts.

[The Dog Whisperer]

Some scary ISP dudes from 3 came to the house. I made them some tea.
Apparently the direct debit that pays the bill stopped itself. :\

A week of hiking in West Texas with a fever.

If I weren't such an ox / stubborn [@#@] I would have been hospitalized.

[Hackattack]

Wow i've only slept probably 10 hours as my max. Though I have stayed up for three days straight. A few spikes and i was ready to go

[Generalno1]

Hmmm...longest I've ever stayed up was probably 24 hours.a 9 hour flight in the middle of the night and stupid airline seats made for hobbits led to that
though me thinks we be getting off-topic now

The fact that you're Irish makes this all the more funnier. I can just imagine you in a Mrs Doyle voice going "Will ye have a cup o'tea there, Fathers?"

[The Dog Whisperer]

lol, I can't dispute all stereotypes all the time.

[Hunter22]

Im really getting back into my acoustic
I was not a big fan of it but tonight i have learned two new songs.
Its a shame that its a classical guitar- it just means that the fret board is like 4 inches wide, but it does deliver a good sound

[Leilah]

I'm spending the next four weeks studying and writing exams.

[The Tom]

RUSSIAN!

A sudden boost of confidence meant I was able to speak fairly fluently. A whole year of preparation burned off in eleven minutes of talk! Now I just have to wait.
