Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

birthday posterous.

wednesday - me sam katie and dave ran through the yeah yeah yeahs - date with the night, which is pretty much finished. i think the only thing that needs work is me knowing the lyrics by heart, i tried to run through the song without the lyrics and i got up to the final verse, so i still need to learn the words. but musically that is sounding good.

 

thursday - tom showed us the promo video for freshers and i suggested that it sshould be played on the tvs in the canteen, so that more people have the oppertunity to veiw it.

we also started learning a new song (jamie, morgan, katie and me) by the pretty reckless called going down.

we listened to the song a few times while i wrote out the lyrics, and the oothers listened to drum/bass/guitar covers to learn their parts.

the first time we tried it we werent sure on when the drums kicked in so we had to listen again, and then i wasnt sure on when i came in, another problem we had was the guitar part on the bridge was going on for too long so we had to shorten that down so that the guitar finished with my lyrics, when we had the basic structure and were able to run it a few times, one problem we all noticed was that it always seemed to slow down after the pre chorus/ chorus. so we tried playing it as fast as we could to see if that helped and after that it seemed to flow a little better.

 

one thing i found difficult is that during the pre chorus i kept using my head voice because the notes are a little higher, not out of my vocal range but it kept throwing me off, but that has got better with practice.
