I'M BACK

Right it's been 5 months since I last posted on here and I am back and deciding that this blog needs a change of voice. Fuck all that actual stuff about my life and interesting photos of HK and what not. I am on the internet! This is not a place where I am meant to be a nice quiet reserved person this is gonna be all the random crap that pops into my head and my opinions on all sorts of stuff. It will probably be mainly HK related because that's where I am at bitches!

Okay lets get this show on the road:



Carson Yeung. Birmingham city fans I pity you because Carson Yeung is not the guy who owns your club now. Grandtop International Holdings owns your club and Carson Yeung owns 16% of that company. We are not sure who owns the rest, or what else they actually own. This company apparently "is engaged in the provision of apparel sourcing, sportswear and apparel trading, and entertainment business". I can find no information anywhere on teh interwebs that will tell me what companies they actually own so I must assume that they don't.

Also last time Carson Yeung on his own tried to buy the club he couldn't come up with the money. I doubt highly that you supposed millions for transfer fees will materialise at all because this is likely to be a front for something else and I can easily see your club being sold on again very quickly.

In short Birmingham City... your fucked.

This week has also seen the release of what could be one of the most fun video games ever released Brutal Legend.

There is no denying that this game will be a riot to play. From what I have heard so far the cameo appearances by such renowned Heavy Metal gods as Ozzy and Lemmy are excellent and should be worth a good few laughs.

There have been some concerns that this game is less action and more RTS and these concerns would appear to be justified when the lead guy actually has to issue an open letter telling people how to play the game you might be right. However I have great respect for Tim Schafer as being one of the most fun (and certainly the most metal) game designers out there. So I will reserve judgment until I have played the game thoroughly.

In related news the misses recently expressed some interest in forming a band. I could not be happier at this kind of expose on her part. However in the practicalities of such an endeavour we must reconcile her classically trained soprano against the kind of music I can actually play.

Many bands have and do delve into the realm of classical singing. Most significantly of course being the legendary Tarja Turunen of Nightwish fame and her very decent voice a great example of which can be found below.



I could go down this route but it is not my area of expertise on the guitar and I feel somewhat hampered in the song writing department in the genre of "Epic Metal". My guitar abilities lend themselves towards more traditional aspects of hard rock and metal. Guns n Roses, Black Sabbath, Audioslave, Van Halen, Motley Crue etc. are the bands that I am adept at playing. Having said that I do stretch towards more progressive bands such as NIN, Tool, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, King Crimson etc. However none of these are traditionally suitable for female vocalists. So we shall see what direction we head in with this project. It may be that we are able to hybridise many elements into a new direction in music. Only time will tell in this regard but I can promise that there will definitely be some very self serving intricate guitar solos (hey write what you know!).
