Status Quo Sunday: NEW SONG: Force Of Dragons
YEAAAAAHHH!!! NEW MUSIC!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMIN' FOLKS, BUT HERE IT IS!!
I wanted to have it out by Sunday, but other stuff got in the way. Speaking of which, I went 1-3 on Game Day with a weaksauce version of this Mono-Black Aggro deck. Meh.
Anyway, this is continuing my tradition of songs based off of the latest Magic The Gathering set. Since Khans of Tarkir's setting is brutal as fuck, and involved dragons, this was the natural endpoint.
In other news, The Echo Chamber had its 100th Episode! More to come later!
Also, I've been officially confirmed for UltraCon in December!
I haven't gone with that look in a while, but I figured it's the best I got. I should have another song this Sunday and on time, so no need to worry about that. It's also super short.

My First Bar Gig
All right, so here's what I learned:
1. NEEDS MOAR CABLES! They had a PA system and speakers, but man, thank God the band playing after me knew what they were doing.
2. NEEDS MOAR MIKES! Yeah, that might be a worth while investment. The club didn't have one and neither did I.
3. GO LATER! Let's see, there were the bar employees, my parents, one of the guys I live with, and the band playing later. So, while it was great I couldn't be "judged", I couldn't be judged.
4. NEEDS MOAR PRACTICE! I tried playing Clash City Rockers that night, and because I forgot how it goes, I fucked up. THAT WAS THE SONG I ENDED MY SETLIST WITH.
Great, now here's the breakdown:
SEVEN NATION ARMY- ***
How could I fuck up Seven Nation Army? When I try to sing and play guitar at the same time. I remembered the words, but singing them WHILE playing? What am I, coordinated?
FORCE-A-NATURE- *****
My originals I'm doing better on. No missed chords, the solo was decent, and I had the proper guitar to do the kill-off with.
HOLIDAY- ****
Another song I'm getting better at. The strumming pattern and the singing pattern don't quite match up, and I kept singing in the wrong key, but I think everyone likes the line "*CSSH* The representative from [Port Jefferson] has the floor"
ARE YOU GONNA BE MY GIRL- *****G
If there is anything to get out of feeling like shit at these shows, it's this: I'm getting better at these songs. The crowd (a.k.a. My parents) clapped along, and I knew what to look out for since last time.
SHE SELLS SANCTUARY- ****
Didn't remember how this song went, but I managed to fake it long enough.
RADIO DAYS PT. 1- *****
The solos I weren't to sure of, but other than that, I think I got it down.
CLASH CITY ROCKERS- FAIL
See above.
The bands I actually saw, Purple Operator and Yellow Birds were what I'd call "soft indie", but I enjoyed them nonetheless.
So, I'm the Rhythm Bastard. I fail so you don't have to.
