Poor you! You're teacher sounds evil.My mom used to have piano lessons and her teacher slapped her across the knuckles with a straight edge if she hit a wrong note (which I assume is why she sent me for piano lessons..??)But I liked my piano teacher, I was just very lazy and she wanted me to play all this "popular music" stuff (her idea of popular music being musical themes and Gerschwin) that I wasn't interested in. Her name was Mrs Milles and she wa

um sort of weird bluesy stuff. More like songs about what songs might be..they're very skeletal and yknow, basic guitar voice drum stuff. Like Rid of me only really really bad hehe. God I used to hate everything my piano teacher made me play. I never practised- I used to just make stuff up. If you don't wanna do scales, typing seems like good exercise...hehe.

First of all-You're welcome. I think it's quite recent (the book), my copy says it was published 2003 but there's a bunch of stuff in it written before then so...It is genius. I expect you've already run out to the nearest book store to find it..if not..what the hell are you doing reading this??? Secondly- Marco, I've never known you to be stuck for words. i doubt it's possible. You write like other people breathe. Oh, and only good people are

I gave you an insightful for this. Where I live I see a hell of a lot of people from minority groups, and I never really thought about it, or thought that prejudices and so on worked both ways around. I like the way you write, it's easy to read and passionate and opinionated. Sorry. I'm no good at leaving comments, but just to let you know. I thought this was really well written, and you make a good point. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" border=

You have to be there I think, But you did damn good. hmm use a plectrum? I used to do this thing before I played where I'd roll a nickel around the fingers of one hand, only using the one hand, if you can imagine. You roll a coin over and under your fingers and try and build up speed. It also helps to play scales over and over again till u can play them really fast. If you need s

THis was a great review!! Are you kidding me? I made sure i listened to dress while i read it so I could be dancing down with you! (yeah, I am that sad). I loved your description of PJ. She's like this simultaneously scary and strong yet vulnerable and sad and crazy and happy kinda woman stuck in this tiny body that seems too small for her and all her passion. I could really see her marching and dancing and stumbling on stage. Thank

To think you might have captured at least an impression of what Hunter S Thompson has come to represent ...is pretty impressive. He couldn't even do it himself. Y'know, I've been reading Kingdom of Fear and since it's written in true HST style it's kinda hard to follow. He's such a mass of contradictions, he completely assasinates America, but still searches for That elusive American dream. You gotta love him. <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif" bor

I have the not-quite-sober-enough problem myself. For some bizarre reason, I just sound so much better when I'm drunk...Good luck with the gigs!! I sing and write and play guitar, Dave plays drums and tells me what's wrong with what I've written (in the nicest possible way of course). Not really in the mood for gigs right now. I'm supposed to play guitar for Poll's band, so i need to borrow someone's electric or fix mine. I doubt Dave and i 'l

My Fender doesn't work. better a £10 guitar (what is that, like 15 bucks?) that works than a fender that cost god knows how much and is completely ruined. I do love it though... Do you play for a band or anything? Or just for the hell of it? I guess with Mick you're just another notch on his bed post...still, I guess that's what groupies are in general. Must be a soul destroying profession huh? <img src="../images/smiles/joke.gif"

Um...Mick jagger? I was gonna suggest him..but well...he's kinda old now. Maybe Mick circa 1970...mmm How bout Robert Smith ?? hehe. But try not to get lipstick on your collar...

mm Jim Morrison is tempting..but then again, depends what kind of lay you're after doesn't it? (sorry to be crude). I mean Jim seems pretty..uh..energetic, a rough and ready kinda guy. But a rockstar like say..Kurt Cobain I think would be more..yknow tender. Maybe I'm wrong. If we're back in the land of the living though, I'd have to go for The Kings of Leon or maybe Jack White...or The Libertines or Razorlight or something ( whole bands or leadsingers

I don't know, i like British humor a lot..Dave is a big British comedy fan so we get to watch things like Black Adder and The Office and The young ones (which i love). I think Americans are pretty sarcastic in general..it's the wit most of us probably don't get. I don't really like sitcoms (except friends, but that sucked towards the end) so I prefer the British stuff to be honest..but then, i am weird...I never got Saturday Night Live either. I don't

Aah! i wrote you a big comment about the idol thing and hit something and now my computer has magically made it vanish!!Let me know if it turns up!! I just meant to say, I don't think idols are a good idea..since they're only human and all. Nothing wrong with being inspired by someone into trying to become a better person yourself but emulating someone else completely just means you might lose your own identity. I think I'd rather just try to become a

1) prostitution's supposed to be the oldest profession right? So I think its okay as long as the girls are looked after..The more people repress sex in society the more its gonna come out as rape and shit like that., 2)Drugs. if you legalise them at least it takes out the risky black market side where your dealer can pound you senseless if you don't wanna pay anymore. Plus I think people should be able to do whatever they want to their own bod

Thanks for sharing this Suz. I had a similar thing when i was about 16 only i didn't do anything properly, like exercise or anything. i just stopped eating. But I was crazy at the time anyway. It was just a way of dealing with all the shit really. i still fall in and out of it, I think I'm stuck with it to be honest.

How long are you in NY for? yeah i haven't seen him ages..but we have a weird relationship. It's weird being in France, cuz i can speak the language, but somehow everyone knows I'm not french. I love PAris, but the people can be a bit stuck up i think. Plus they all speak to you in english anyway (how do they know??). I'm staying there for a few days just me and my dad, then going to his house in Lille.
