[magkaifa]

it sucks publicising. hey ron.

 

[blueprintstudios]

heya haha nothing sucks publicising in a supportive forum , and nothing like good news of a long time band returning from a hiatus , all the best and gd luck recording!

 

[magkaifa]

heya haha nothing sucks publicising in a supportive forum , and nothing like good news of a long time band returning from a hiatus , all the best and gd luck recording!

feels good to hear that from you ron!
means alot to us~ and tell PITM to hurry up release can. been rotting to hear their recordings!

 

[Chaserr]

thats a whole lotta gigs man!

 

[blueprintstudios]

np ash , haha PITM still left vocals for 8 tracks for their 10track lp and I'm handling 3 band's LPs,1 ep ,3 singles at once most prob won't be that fast. keep us updated with any new stuff for us to check out yeah? where ya recording at?

 

[magkaifa]

... seems like you got your hands full! Must've been lotsa patience. We're Recording at Snakeweed. but its just 2 songs for a Compilation Singapore and Malaysian Bands. i asked Zad (PITM) whether i could ask you to slowly record and mix for Sourgrapes... he told me to ask you but there were times when i came face2face with you, i either 1) don;t know how to ask 2) felt awkward 3) shy.. eh yah.. haha so yah.. hahaha

can record at your place next time? =D

 

[blueprintstudios]

I apologise man I almost don't remember meeting you in person , next time do give me a chance to cos I got this problem of only able to remember faces and linking the "instrument + the prominent band he plays in/job he works as" haha ,this's the problem when you meet alot of different ppl in different line of freelance careers.

ya tell me about patience, I just came back from the doctor's saying I've strained a nerve close to my left ear from overworkin' so i'm on some weird pfizer lyrica. I still work but i don't strain my ears to listen out for milisecond problems for now till i recover.

in anycase feel free to contact me anythin regarding recording, the only problem is you can't get me to shut up sometimes once i start talking, no need to shy one haha but unfortunately I really fully booked for now unless you're really not in a rush (i'm talkin about like late 2010 oct/nov kind of no-rush release) , any further discussion about recording with me we'll do in private, but for now I heard the stuff on your MySpace , the vocals have very distinct nice old sch feel to it. keep us updated on any new releases done at snakeweed yeah?

cheers!

 

[magkaifa]

gosh. dude, take care of yourself man. suddenly u straining your nerve on your left ear reminds me of Kung Pow bursting his vein on the neck, screaming.

nah no rush... we're thinking of recording but really no rush cause everyone of us is busy working. we talked about it, but never really... storm about it? and hahah i get meetings like that too. i've got this STM goin on. i dun remember names and their age.

the stuffs on myspace is quite old, recorded in our guitarist's place using an electronic drumkit, so its.. kinda.. okay? for smtg raw? and yeah we'll post it up once we finish recording.. see what you guys think.

AND I SAW MYSELF PERFORMING FOR THE FIRST TIME AT FORT CANNING IN YOUR GIGVIDEOS! SWEEEEEET!!!!

 

[fgl]

wha?? sounds very scary, fgl. what is it that u got?
