cardboard robot ninja pirate monkey

does distance really matter?

well, today has been an odd one.

sunshine prevailing, warm breezes and the ability to wear flip flops aside, ive been rather down. i know it wont last, that its just one of those times when things catch up with you a bit, and its probably also somewhat down to the music ive been listening to of late also. disregarding that though, i think my melancholy (is that how you spell that?) state has somewhat been bought on by my recent procurement of a myspace page.

it has caused a stirring of things in my head that ive been doing a good job of not thinking about for a while.

sitting here at home on a friday evening - was supposed to be going out, but when it came down to it just didnt feel like it - listening to another acoustic guitar song, i cant help but think to all the people that ive left behind in my life in some way shape or form and cant help feeling sad for the loss. i know its a matter of life moves on and there are people that stay with you and people that are there just for a time, and you can remember back on fondly at later date, but at the same time, knowing that there are people out there that once were dear to me...

i welcome myself to myspace

after being hassled by a few friends to setup a myspace page i have finally caved in and done it. so if anyone cares at all, you can find me here www.myspace.com/rachhunt.

yes, i know i dont have many friends, but hey, when you have 3 eyes like i do, good friends are hard to come by.

the weekend

well, i never got round to posting about what went on at the weekend cos this week has been so crazy busy.

but anyway, in brief, went to see the foo fighters in hyde park on the saturday (shall post photos when i have them off my brothers camera) and then sunday did the london to brighton bike ride with my brother. we managed to raise over 500 quid for the british heart foundation, so all in all a pretty good weekend.
the weather was good and i enjoyed everything muchly, so yeah

happy days.

who knew i was so predictable

robot monkey ninja pirates t shirt - Google Search.

checking my stats ive realised im getting loads and loads of people randomly happening upon my blog just cos theres more people than you could realise searching for things related to pirates robots ninjas and monkeys. this person seemed to be searching for all.

my cardboard roboto ninja pirate monkey was just a collection of my favourite things. never realised there was a game of pretty much the same name.

so lesson number one, if you want to get good hit stats on your website, include those in your keywords or do some very creative copywriting

thanks everyone, and sorry that im not what youre looking for

(for those of you looking for pictures of the london to brighton bike ride, ill try and find some links for you, so at least you wont be disappointed aswell - we have about 2 that i took when we got to brighton. sorry)

appleseed cast older footage off youtube featuring the old drummer. nice to see him play. hes amazing

i cant stop grinning

well, what can i say.

last night at the underworld in camden was one of the best gigs that ive been to in a long long time.
the line up seemed too good to be true, appleseed cast, samiam and jeniferever.  not knowing the last band but being big fans of the other two, i went along with high expectations and well, i wasnt disappointed.

aside from samiam actually turning out to be a somewhat bland band called 'the sam i am', the discovery of jeniferever made it all worthwhile.
a beautiful mix of explosions in the sky come mogwai type layered guitars with stunning vocals coming out of someone you wouldnt expect to have such a lilting voice, i think they really took a lot of people by suprise.  more than one person i heard state afterwards - i want to be in a band like that.  high praise indeed.  with the whole room in near blackness, the occasional bathing of light from the stage put everyone into a somewhat reflective mood leaving an atmosphere that i think most will find hard to forget in a hurry.  it was like being held gently on a warm summers day.

and then the legends that are appleseed.  they just keep getting better.  and better, and better.  well, they were never crap in the first place, so theyre just as good as they always were.

playing mostly newer stuff, with a couple of loved oldies like steps and numbers thrown in to please the already more than happy crowd, things just went from good to better.  my concerns about the new drummer were pretty much proved wrong, apart from that i dont think he has quite the same energy as josh baruth had, he lacks none of the technical ability and im sure he has the heart too.  my friend chris assures me that when he saw him drum in unwed bride he was more than amazing, so yeah, i hope hes enjoying himself with the cast.  we enjoyed watching him.

along side all of that i was there with some of my favourite people in the world.  the only one missing was rick, which was gutting, cos i know he would have been left as speechless as i was.  but to everyone else, chris and emma (lovely to meet you finally by the way), james and his lovely lady jules and mr pete and the equally smashing helen and all of chris's friends, bandmates, fans etc (ha) im so glad you were all there.  it was a night ill cherish.
