Good Vibrations


Just came back from a jamming session. Though AB couldn't make it, it was still a good session. We came out with a piece that had very strong shoegazer roots. Weiyuan who is totally in love with Pink Floyd nowadays calls it a piece of 'space rock. 'Space rock' was apparently what the critics called Pink Floyd style in the 60's. And to top it off, he christened the piece, "Light Side of the Star". Hehehe, a tribute. Personally, I thought it sounded a bit like what Astreal would play.

Anyway, Andy just got his electronic drumset and his neighbours had started complaining!!! Ha! When the whole band moved our equipment in his house, they'd know hell!!! Meanwhile, we are talking about how to set up something decent for recording purposes, complete with mike stands, etc. Looks like it's gonna take a few trips down to Cash Converters.

By the way, this crazy little thing that, in alphabetical order, Abdul Basheer, Andy, Weiyuan, Willy (me) and Yeeyong started used to be known as the Corinthian. It was named after some Biblical verses (eh, I was in my anti-Semitism phase) and a Sandman comic book character who is a eyeball eating demon. Fuckin' cool, I know. I think now we have more or less settled between these 2 names, the 78 Love Experiment or the 78 Love Explosion. Must ask AB which one he prefers.
