yeah, i'm the same. i can't just do something because it needs doing, or because it's a good idea, or even because i want to do it. there has to be the chance of superiority at the end of it

Same here. I would like to find a couple of people who I can just pick it up and go with, No Wave style.

[gen-eral]

I plan on learning Spanish in the new year

[V Knid esq]

I've started basic basic Italian. It's HARD.

Sounds good.
I want to get into some droney, ambient business by myself. I want to get into guitar sounds, but I want to know how to actually play it as well.

If we're on the new years resolution/bettering yourself/slight tinge of fantasy/doubt tip... Next year we finish a Beckett & Taylor album and then I make a pure techno solo record.

Yeah i'm thinking about trying Rosetta
Stone but think it may just be stupidly expensive, so prob will have to find a local class. It going to be hard work, but I've always been wanting to do this and just keep putting if off.

[gen-eral]

Just checked the price and yep looks like i'll be finding a local class!

DO IT!!

I think I asked before, but when do the new HOTP records drop?

[Hectic Cum Balthazar]

I'm also going to take up tennis, run a marathon and learn to speak several extinct Sami languages.

I just updated our discography page... in typical style you wait years and then 3 come at once.. http://www.handontheplow.com/discography/

Cris is halfway through mastering HOTP010 as we speak... you can hear the Beckett & Taylor imagineIAM remix here.

I've been trying to get through a massive 3 gig torrent of Coil. Not a good time to have bought some weed for the first time in years.

[Hectic Cum Balthazar]

[Orang Utan]

But I'm listening to Coil

[Hectic Cum Balthazar]

jesus I don't mean you, you're bringing down whole mayan civilisations in your head.

[Orang Utan]

What did you say? I was busy listening to Coil and gathering an immense unlanceable engorgement of male sexual energy. Don't touch me, I'll explode!

not enough. i have a list in my head of shit i should be doing but get distracted by girls, pub and the voices in my head...

i think i'll ask for a whiteboard for christmas

Well posh.

I try to play in proper position etc.. but it's easy to get sloppy with this type of music.. then sometimes i get to a bit and have to actually stop, re-arrange, and then carry on. MUST get used to starting out holding it proper at the beginning of a piece

On Isohunt I think

[mdk]

at the moment i wake up, play with lili, take her to her grandparents, work, collect lili, play with lili, more work, sleep.

rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

i need to sort it out a bit once these current projects have passed.

i've not even booted windows for weeks to even consider doing any music although i still run through some picking exercises on the guitar every day or two.

[les diamond]

yea same here i hang out with my little daughter all day...


she got sick and had to go to hospital today it was scary.... the doctor said it was just an upset stomach but damn i can't stand to see her not smiling : (

i usually make music when she goes to sleep. i myself don't sleep much.



preparing to move to santiago chile for the summer(it is summer down there)

Can the daddy sleep, nurse, work, and make music within the same day?
Or do I have to cut back on sleeping if I had my next-future-children ?

The entire Rosetta stuff is, I think, fairly easy to find for free online. Yer_Maw sent me a link to a torrent site that had it on it. Mind u I didnt download it cos I am lazy.

Find a tandem partner maybe. I bet there are some students/workers from spain where you live, and they very often need some english practice.

yea so it is 5am here. i am making beats because my wife and daughter are asleep and i am kinda stoned. but if i had a 9 - 5 job i wouldn't make music but on the weekends i bet.

tell me about it. lili had laryngitis a couple of weeks ago, she couldnt breathe properly and had to stay in hospital. its so distressing and the hospital here is tragic.

@sniffio, it really depends on a few things, how long do the kids sleep, how much sleep you need, how much work you have to do.

at the moment lili is sleeping well, she didnt wake up until 9am this morning, but my problem is i have too much work otherwise i would be doing more music.

[les diamond]

some of us would kill for a day job though so the glass is half full again. carry on

[mdk]

the grass is always greener isnt it

i didnt want it to sound like it was a big problem, i enjoy my work and i work from home so as far as jobs go its about as good it gets, but obviously i would much rather be rich and not have to work.
