aint_it_fun

well, we threw a stuffed racoon around for a while, played the mortal combat theme tune and did a 4-part vocal harmony version of "I'm a little teapot". Yes, it's all true! Except the last one. And I WAS consistently handsome.

oh my gosh, that sounds thrilling...

After the traumatic dissolution of the legendary JFK in August, we are reuniting once again for an evening of Fun! Excitement! Joy! at drummonds. Dress code will be something Fun! Exciting! Joyfull! or just anything really... Most importantly, you will need to bring yourself, your friends, and everyone else, to Drummonds at about 6:30 on Sunday 8th Jan. Noises will be available from Johnny's Funky Kollosus from 10pm onwards. This racket will be preceded by the adrenalin rush that is Debassed, the tender musical vibes of Seventh Circle, and probably some other stuff. This will be your last chance to see Johnny's Funky Kollosus EVER until summer, so make sure you drag the whole family along. In 20 years time, people will say "Were you there?" and you'll say "Yes".

fanks... Would you believe it if I told you that I played that WHILE cooking biscuits?

Well, now that I have safely left the country (until christmas), I think it's finally safe for me to put up some mp3's and invite general abuse from everyone. So, here's the link.. http://www.purevolume.com/richant I'm most interested in what people thing of the aptly entitled 'adventures in pasta'. When I recorded it I thought it sounded a bit like me mashing my keyboard for 5 minutes, but then I listened to it a few days ago and it sounded rather nice. Any comments?

Oh gosh! This gig is Tonight! I shall HAVE to go... How exciting

Apprently the doors are actually at 7pm. There are also some rumors going around about the Johnny's Funky Kollosus keyboardist. I dunno... some peoples are saying that he is really cute.

Wow. What a great band Johnnys Funky Kollosus must be. I think Ill go to this gig just to see their keyboardist, who is WAY hot. mmmm

Hurrah. If I wasnt sitting in a web cafe in Iceland being cold, I would come and GET you for spelling Johnnys Funky Kollosus wrong. But still, were an awesome and very modest band, even when were a bit misspelt. People who dont come to this here gig will be kicked in the face! 8o

The was a stuffed racoon being thrown around for most of the evening. I think that says it all. And my keyboard Refused to sound anything like it was supposed to when we played Jump... I also remained dashingly handsome for the entire gig.

...Your guitarist sounds exactly like the drummer from Johnny's Funky Kollosus

I'll bumpify you in a minute, Sam B. The B is for Royal Bumpificator. Just because you can bumpificate royally doesn't mean that you're allowed to reply to a post which I have made without acknowledging my greatness. Therefore, please make your next bumpicapitulation contain a brief prayer to me, craving forgiveness, and, most importantly, trying to poetically capture my casual beauty and exquisite wit. And, you have some mashed avocado pear paste on your face.

Damn. I really wanted to be in that band. I expect I could manage some light travel though...

I counted 18 characters. 19 if you include the new line. This wasn't a devious attempt to bump this thread yet again Just imagine that the lil' crown there is a halo. Because I'm an angel. And if lots of people come to my gig, I shall wear fairy wings on stage for your entertainment... Imagine if there was an actually band called "The Giant Quiche XII", and I was in it... Gosh...

I'm going to be there. I think that farily establishes the ace-ness factor as something like "rather awesome"

Sorry about that. It just turns out that you don't actually have a last name. These things happen. I didn't mean to misclassify you. I've changed it to something more appropriate. Not that it matters - the rumor is that you're going to be assassinated at this gig for political reasons. Hopefully plenty of people will come along - should be a great night! I was pretty impressed last time I saw you play.

My keyboard is my friend He only breaks when other keyboardists try and play him and start pressing buttons even when I say that they don't work... It's so disappointing, I thought only drummers were stupid

My keyboard does work! I just can't play it because I don't have any fingers... Some girls find guys without fingers cute

Playing at Drummonds on Sunday 10th July Doors at 6pm Entry: 2 Sam: Acoustic/'painfully serious' artist from Ellon. Descended: New Heavy Metal band, currently exploding onto the aberdeen music scene. Literally. Tears Of Grace: Metal band mixing heavy riffs with a more melodic approach. And mittens. Johnny's Funky Kollosus: Well they're pretty awful, but I heard the keyboardist is kinda cute... I have heard, unofficially, that people who do not attend will not be attending ANY gigs afterwards. Ever. o_O

Yeh, that's exactly right, Johnny's Funky Kollosus are currently looking for people to drum and vocalise for us. Don't take this the wrong way - we don't want you to be our slaves or anything - we probably won't force you to drum or sing too often, and we will share our profits with you. Well, we'll probably be sharing more costs that profits really... but anyhow, it would be really lovely if anyone wanted to play drums or sing for us. At the moment there are only 3 of us - 2 guitarists and ME, the keyboardist. Though really I'm only in the band because my dashing good looks attract many groupies to our gigs. I may grudgingly agree to share some with other band members. So, at the moment we sound like two guitarists and a keyboardist mashing our instruments with no rhythm or direction or anything. But once we have some more peoples in the band, we would rather like to sound a bit prog. Something like Genesis or Dream Theater or Pink Floyd or King Crimson. I think Johnny would like to sound more jazz than that, but his opinion doesn't really matter because I'm the one who is writing the ad. We're really aiming for classical/jazz influenced prog. It would be really nice if we had a recording that you could listen to and decide whether our band is worthy of your mighty talents, but we don't have any. Well we do, but we don't talk about them much. However, you CAN listen to me playing stuff on my keyboard at http://www.purevolume.com/richant it's not really related to what we want the band to sound like though - there will be more drums, and words, and guitars. But the keyboards may well sound a little bit like that. If you Still want to join our band, you can pm me or email me or something. We're all 17 but we don't really mind how old anyone else is. We all like pizza but it doesn't really matter if you do or not, just as long as you are prepared to potentially go to pizza hut before and after gigs. They do ice cream and salads and things too though. Lots of love, Your darling keyboardist Richant

http://www.download.com/Audacity that's the one I use

I might play keyboard for you, though I have to admit I don't like, and in fact probably haven't ever even heard anything by, any of your influences, so maybe I'm not ideal. You can have a listen to some of my stuff though - http://www.purevolume.com/richant and PM me if you're interested. Richant

You said "We". I'm totally gonna hold you to that one. And None of the songs which I have written thus far were written for fun! They were all Deadly Serious with the intent of blowing people's minds with their musical complexity and real life relevance! Anyways I am writing some slightly better songs. Most of the ones we played were intentionally clich because they were written fairly hastily. Actually, I "Wrote them all in like 10 minutes" and that's not clich at all. In conclusion, the judges clearly overlooked my dashing good looks when they made their decision. And if your think our singer isn't very good, you obviously never had the pleasure of experiancing JFK mk1. Oh the vocal shananigans... Voici mon visage -> 8o

Prolog is fantastic! I often pull chicks simply by quoting a few undefined predicates at them and watching the insuing knowledge base interrogation. I also find it's simple yes/no responces have way more attitude than anything I've ever seen in Delphi or VC++. More seriously though, prolog is rather funky since it's completely different to procedural programming and also has way more geeky looking numbers and stuff. One of my favourite party tricks is to get it in one of those infinite loops where you just have millions and millions of numbers scrolling on the screen. Then you can sit there and laugh manically. A good way to pass the hours without having to get a social life or anything...
