No one else can make me feel The colors that you bring Stay with me while we grow old And we will live each day in the springtime Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through And every time that we oooooh I'm more in love with you La la la la la la la... do do do do do
No one else can make me feel The colors that you bring Stay with me while we grow old And we will live each day in springtime Cause lovin' you is easy cuz your beautiful And every day my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you I see your soul come shinin' through And every time that we oooooh I'm more in love with you La la la la la la la... do do do do do"
Just rollin' thru to remind y'all we got the 8th Annual Pott Street Xmas Party @ Kitty's The Club on Mitchell Street in Darwin City TONIGHT!!! FRIDAY 19/12/08! Doors open @ 9pm and it's going to be nothing but the hottest Hip Hop & RNB all night! ..
im still in japan, get back monday. im organising a big finale for the Happy Yess closing night on saturday 13th december. The Feedback Orchestra will try and destroy the shed out the back of HY using only the power of distortion, feedback and volume. wanna be involved?? come on, it will be heaps of fun!
you will need to bring: 1) an amplifier 2) whatever you plug into it to make noise (guitar, pedals, bass, microphone, drum machine, whatever) 3) a power board that has enough plugs for all your equipment.
Setup time is 5pm on saturday 13th dec at Happy Yess. Lets plug everything in and have a run through to piss of whoever's at the cavenagh on sat arvo. serve them right. Then showtime is 11:30pm saturday night. You can leave your stuff there after setup, ill be there to make sure no one steals anything. (Ive still got a bouncers licence you know...)
For those musically inclined, whatever happens will start in D, so if you are preparing any weirdly tuned giutars/etc think about how they would work with that.
For those of you intent purely on audio destruction, who cares what key its in.
If you could reply to let me know if you are keen, that would be great so i can work out power requirements etc..
Please forward this onto anyone you think might be interested in being involved. ive been away for a year, i dunno whats going on there anymore!
