Dutchies are awesome!

Wooooo! What a fun, hectic random weekend it’s been I must say. Now I must sleep…

Turn off this fire
switch off the lights
it’s time to retire
it’s no time to fight
this house is in pieces
i never saw it falling
it was such a beautiful view

One of my favourite bands ever have just announced they’ve spilt. The Cooper Temple Clause have called it a day.

I couldn’t believe, I was and still am in shock. I don’t know, I just never saw it coming they had continued and strive on even after losing a member. I actually just can’t let myself believe it, I just feel this weird sense of sadness as if I had suffered a great lost of someone close. I dunno I’ve never suffered an active lost of a band I’ve been currently into.

It seems so surreal that about a month ago I was watching them perform in Leeds and talking to them.

I know loads of people who are truly gutted by the spilt, people who love them even more than me. I don’t know I’m in a weird mood about it. I’ve so many amazing memories and gigs and nights out thanks to this band, as well as times where their music was something that kept me going when I didn’t have much else to cling onto. It’s been there through the hard times and the bad, that’s when you know and realise how much a band and their music means to you.

They weren’t the best band in the world, but they were one of the best bands in the world to me! And that’s what counts. Seriously a big chunk of music and gigs gone like that - it’s a sad day people, a sad day at a time where I really need the stuff I love around me as much as possible.

I feel like I’ve been stripped of a slice of stability.

What can I cling onto now?

It’s a sad sad day, even with such a nice photo that I took…

Goodbye The Cooper Temple Clause. Thank you for everything.

The Cooper Temple Clause split up this day, but I took this photo as well…

Porcupine Tree are amazinggg live.

If you love their records then go see them live because despite the fact that the band are merely average themselves on stage it’s the music they produce which is just amazing and captivating.

Weeeeeeeee

New them as you can see. It’s pretty tasty. Currently in the process of adjusting to my needs, I think I’ll redo the header image with one of my own when I get chance. But yeah hope you folks like, thought it was deffo time for a change from the green theme.

Plus I had to tackle what was causing my blog to randomly bork, turns out it was the flickr plugin I was using urgh, so instead I’ve had to hunt down a different plugin that doesn’t have the randomising images thing but it still works as well.

Also updated my FF and installed Firebug, which is a funky web dev tool that I used to help me out adjusting the theme a bit. Not really seen/used it before but seems pretty handy already.

Going to watch Porcupine Tree tonight by myself, need to get a ticket on the door but hope it’ll be alright.

Lazy weekend. Work tomorrow :(

Meet stephie and bob and co.

Sod it I’ll go to this.
