The Black Parade – a new beginning for the living dead

I won’t beat around the bush: this album is worth every iota of hype that is has been given. Many spat and trod on My Chemical Romance for being ‘emo sell-outs’ but their new album shoots emo dead and stands proudly on top of it’s body with a new flag flying: The Black Parade. [...]

DragonForce Photos

13Feb06

Here they are at last! I picked them up earlier today and chose the choicest ones. They’re not very much because I was using a crappy disposable camera, but they’re better than the one’s I could have taken with my phone… ah well… memories memories…

DragonForce and so on…

02Feb06

Exams, Phones and Lyrics

14Jan06

I suppose there are a few things i should have blogged but haven’t so far, so I’ll do them all as one.  Firstly, I’m in the middle of mock exams for my GCSEs (that’s probably why I haven’t been blogging).  I’m pretty confident about them all, but I don’t want to get cocky…  When I [...]

Belated “Happy New Year” and all that crap

04Jan06

So my first blog post of 2006 and it just had to be the clichéd “Happy New Year” and all that crap… wonderful…
Well now, it’s the 4th of January 2006 and I’m already back at school, it’s really pathetic, but what can you do…  I’ve got mock exams for my GCSEs coming up this month [...]
