I act crazy.
I love music.
I enjoy being lazy.
I am crazy.
I write for my university course. I also write for fun.
Beneath this facade, I'm actually fucking boring. You probably know that though.
Oh, and if you ever want to read some of my writing, please let me know and I'll send you something. There's always something floating around that I need an opinion on.
Music
I cannot explain the music I love. I cannot make a list that wouldn't stretch from here to Amarillo. In short, I will listen to anything, from normal workaday indie, to bizarre pop songs.
Instrumentals. Covers. B-sides. Demos
The things that fall across my ears and make me dance. The things that make me dance on my ears. The things that are unexplainable to anybody but the people who make moshpits in my brain.
Movies
Garden State. Sliding Doors. Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird
These are the main films that I adore.
I quite like children's films. In general, I just need to watch more films.
Television
THE BIG BANG THEORY!
TWO AND A HALF MEN!
GLEE!
A lot of other things. I'm really not fussy about television much either - I'm a rather flexible guy.
Books
I love reading, but I struggle to pick favourite authors. If I had to stick my neck out into the literary breeze, I'd argue Nick Hornby, because I adore all his work.
But usually, I'm not fussy. I like to read pretty much anything (including, but not limited to, chick lit. and things to do with music), but I really don't read as much as I know I should do, considering I'm a writer.
Heroes
Chuck Lorre
Everybody else is a hero to me as well. Including you!
samuel's-not-the-spider* 's MySpace is currently being redeveloped, so if you walk on over there and it looks weird, it's a work in progress. view more
About me: THIS SECTION IS CURRENTLY BEING MODIFIED.
Hello; welcome to Samuel's sparkly new MySpace. You're welcome to leave whenever you want, but I'm inviting you to stay and share my madness, at least for a little way.
I just want you to be nice to the people around you. No fighting on here, you hear me!
This is one of my multiple aliases - you can also find me elsewhere. I have both Facebook and Twitter.
FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=542680455
TWITTER: www.twitter.com/feaksjourney
You can add me if that is your desire - I'll speak to interesting people if you speak to me as well.
I commonly persue the following pastimes...
...Music - I love music to an intense level (maybe even 11 :-p). Instrumentals, acappelas, demos, pop songs - anything good, I will listen to!
I'm an open-minded bastard who likes Aqua and Editors in equal measure; adores Wir Sind Helden like I adore Nightwish, and will eventually die in a hail of something I've probably not heard yet.
...Plastic Pop - Coca-Cola, Cherry Coke (WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE CONFUSED WITH COCA-COLA CHERRY), et al. Anything cold and fizzy and High in Sugar/Caffeine/Both and I'll probably drink it
Cherry Coke is damn hard to find though - it's been replaced by that evil Coca-Cola Cherry stuff!...
...Being totally Crazy - proven by anybody who knows me , craziness comes in different packages - discussed on condition only. Or under the medication I should be on.
...Shopping for CD's or rare/limited vinyl... Naturally addictive, I love to spend hours rummaging through record stores. I don't care as the music more than makes up for it!
I often don't make sense! If you're confused, ask me politely, and I'll probably explain it better!
Who I'd like to meet: THIS SECTION IS CURRENTLY BEING MODIFIED.
You, if you can say 'Hello', and follow it up with an interesting conversation.
Anyone who will inspire something in me for a poem, or story.
The famous people, and the not-so-famous people. Those I meet every day, and those I never want to meet in a million and one years, each with 365 individual days.
Definitely! Sell out with Disco Influenza, and make the money you need to take Black Ajax to the heights. I mean, 10% of record sales help to justify the other 90% being released, so y'know, Disco Influenza sells millions, and that means that Black Ajax can still release a few. And gain popularity from it.
Well if you're gonna be revamping the page I'd like to see something stays in!
And Disco Influenza has been tuned into a proper song. No way is it gonna be a Black Ajax songs (the others wont allow it) but I'm pretty sure it'll be a #1, even if it means selling out! I'm gonna record some vocals tonight...
Bloody hell, you know I never check this MySpace anymore so I had no idea you'd left this comment here. Black Ajax is the new name for Central... sort of. I have no idea if I'm a fan of the name or not but we cant be bothered faffing around with band names anymore.
Coming soon is always sooner than I want. Though hopefully BA will be uploading some new songs TODAY. Now that I've said that we probably wont but we'll just see what happens.
As for The Season Ends, that has been renamed The Fall Of A Pack Of Cards after a very strange book my mum read (we may change the name again) and has been turned into a Black Ajax song! The one on TPI page is going to be the remix, though I've still got to record the vocals to add to it.
At the moment we're in limbo so to speak, like you're dead but you're not in heaven yet. I think we've got a new name and we've gotten some new songs and recording equipment ready, the next step is to make it all happen! It's going slower than I'd like but it's all part of the process I suppose.
Good day to you, Samuel, and thanks for adding us as a friend. I see you're in Liverpool - are you coming to the SP gig? And if you're free, come along and say hello at the Cavern this Thursday too! LKs
Yeah, the Satriani is quite crazy, what's even weirder is the minute I posted that blog some guy messaged me saying "Richard, I had no idea you were a Satch fan!" before going on at me about how much he loves him, but clearly not enough to be aware of the whole lawsuit thing. :?
Steal away, everyone knows the best art is created by thievery. I know we do that all the time.
Richard's the leftie. I thought there were pics of him on the site playing guitar backwards, but it appears they've been removed. Why am I referring to myself in 3rd person? Richard thinks it's more fun that way actually.
Never! We're Far-Left obviously... With a left hander in the band and all of us being Democrats and the fact that Australians drive on the left of the road we couldn't be more left! Whoever would want to do the right thing?
By the way, have you heard the acoustic version of Only Human up on the player right now? Nic says it's better than the actual song, not sure I agree.
Actually I've been trying to write a song today about "It's a been a year to the day..." but instead I wrote an incrediably dark song about kids beating people to death on the street for no reason. Gah...
I'd upload it for today but the nets on the blink at the moment
ooh, do you have a fav. song from the debut album? :) we might be able to record one for you :D they're still playing the best of the best from their debut album, like 61, bleeding hearts, soul assassins, smother+evil=hurt, lala song.. ect. :)
so far we've heard five new songs, and theyre all AMAZING! :D we will make sure to record any NEW song that hasn't been uploaded yet, for the fans who're not able to see them live this tour! :D
YAY, this thursday will be my 25th time to see them.. :D crazy right?
Hey. You're welcome, thats why we're here :D We'll upload 3 videos more during this tour, i'm thinkin' later this week, maybe after the gig on thursday :D
Ooh, i know - it has been some time since they played in the UK the last time, and hopefully when they return we'll be able to go there too :D would be fun to see them play in the UK too :)
