I swear to Pythagoras I want to sky dive right now.

OK list of shit I have to do if we get the week off school:
  • Bungy every day
  • See Gisela
  • Do massive chunks, if not finish Maths and Chemistry.
  • Get all parts for speakers, start building
  • Make a document on Gap Year: Youth Allowance, Countries, Festivals, Travel, Accomidation, Employment.

Katatonia - Burn the Remembrance

Ok I'm a whore for DIY.
It's out of control.
Haha, smile.




A(4) for english; status of marginalization equals pwnsizzled.


BRB, zrolfs, going to clean teeth/turn lights off.

Back, the world is an unforgiving place.

Say you have collected all your favorite music.
You spend lots of time and money on getting the best pre-amps, dacs, amps, cables and speakers only to realise that your music is 56kbs mp3 from limewire.

Nothing can change that shitty quality. Now to explain my analogy; the music represents friends, time and money represent time and money, the pre-amps, dacs, amps, cables and speakers are the building blocks of your relationship.
All wasted on a peice of shitty music.

My friends are fucking awesome.
Don't be a dick; to all those dicks out there.

Bangheader

Walkathon today, it was slightly above satisfactory.

I've been slayed by Trigonometric Functions.

I slayed 'Not so Black & White'.

I've spent copious amounts of doubloon recently.

I plan to have four amplifiers (LM3886, TA2020, 41Hz Amp5 and 41Hz Amp3), two sets of 2way speakers (Audax/SEAS combo and Vifa RB2 kit) and a pre-amp (bbp/B1 buffer) built by Christmas.
Vifa RB2 kit kit will be portable, battery/solar powered and also renamed the R.A.P.T.O.R.S. but more on that later.

Unnecessary? I don't think so.

However, I will sell the worst performing amplifier.

I'm so proud of jack, I gave him socks.

God, sound is such an amazingly vast and sometimes overwhelming sense.
The variables involved add up to many-a lifetime worth of knowledge.

Knowledge is handed down, from craftsmen to craftsmen. And the wisest individuals all note one thing in common; above all, listen to and enjoy the music.

Now, to you Über audio noobs that may sound ridiculous; but even in audio-purist's listening rigs there is much that alters (or doesn't for that matter) the original noise.

So, I hope one thing I can remember is to: enjoy the music.

I confess...I scare myself

through the howling wind, on my knees, I cry
...listen to me...
I'm feeling socially vulnerable right now, oh well. School tommorow.



Speakers are looking promising. Amp is too. :)

Grease was awesome, kinda wish I was in it. Me and jack are gunna do the play next year.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I was talking to Liz and Seb today, I've gotta talk to somebody at school about Marist schools around the world and what the dealio would be with getting accommodation there.

Gap Year is fucking happening.

Download,
Rock am Ring/Rock im Park,
Wacken,

2011: Cultural Learnings; a la METALLL.


Haha we should make a website detailing totally
blowing what we're planning out of proportion and
sensationalising all the macho + metal things we're
planning. Hot damn, life is good.

If you wanna hear about AMSA: CLICK HERE!

If you wanna read an awesome lyric, here ya go:
There's nobody here, there's nobody near
I try not to care, dead eyes always stare
Let these matters be, don't trust what you see
Take hold of your time, step into the line

There's innocence torn from its maker
And stillborn, the trust in you
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do

Leave your mark upon the head of someone
Who'll cry for his state, we know it's too late
I turn round to see what was meant to be
Faint movement release to rid the disease

There's innocence torn from its maker
And stillborn, the trust in you
(I have lost all trust I had in you)
This failure has made the creator
So would you tell him what to do
(I have lost all trust I had in you)


Stillborn is probably the most brutal word in the world. Behind brutal.

If you wanna know my audio obsession currently: click here for amp and here for speakers.

Tinaroo was awesome, me and jack are awesome. Yuki is awesome. Opeth is awesome. Burn-in is real. Toroidal transformers are over-priced. I need money.

Short + sweet,
Mattcalf.
