The Art of Seduction

[Q Classic]

ah, so i kinda know where you are. haven't had a reason to stop in there whenever i've visited my relatives, though.

there are plenty more white people in cheongju, though, 'specially in city center.

no thai restaurants that i know of, though.

I always seem to be the one who gets seduced.

[Verres]

That must be just horrible for you!

Horribly, I am highly resistant to such seductions.

Life is tough when you're in a band, eh?

[MikeH]

I haven't had any band related seductions... yet.

Yeah, it really is horrible though.

[MikeH]

It's only because I'm terrible at reading signs and eventually they seem to get bored of waiting and just jump on me.

[Urban Ranger]

What do you play, Mike?

[MikeH]

Guitar. See/hear here:

You guys write any of the songs?

[MikeH]

Yeah. we write them all ourselves.

Do any of you have formal music training or do you do it by ear?

I thought that Mike had actually saved the thread from its first 'jacking, but it seems that it was a covert threadjack after all. Clever.

I'm afraid I skipped the second page of this thread and came upon loads of noodle-related nonsense, but as far as the first page is concerned: this sounds like the opening chapter to a rip-off of American Psycho. Counting cycles is serial killer behaviour to be honest, and the rest sounds like a cheesy porn film - something that gets rushed through before the death of wonderful boyfriend and girl is forced to turn to "the industry" in her grief. I have no idea where you got this story from, but if it is true then any sane person would run a mile from this man. Earrings on a teddy bear!!!!? That's paedo territory. Ask him about his collection of little shoes..... He probably keeps his mother in the loft.

Anyway, Mike - does your band like noodles?

We all have some training but most of us not very much formal training. The exception is that our bass player is a grade 8 pianist... not sure if that's a level that translates around the world but grade 8 is the highest level you can get in normal music training here. Our drummer (the guy who produced most of those tracks) has some sound engineering/recording qualifications but he's mostly self taught.

That's cool, coz I like to write my own music, but I don't have any formal training in musical theory and stuff.
