The benefits of lazy naivety

With days off few and far between, a 7 hour band practice is simultaneously a blissful escape from our mundane lives and a nightmare slog which saps our pent-up creativity and splatters it all over the walls of our low-lit practice room; the perfect setting for a musical experiment which has left us satisfied but slightly confused by the end result. Before I elaborate, I should point out that we've attempted the seemingly futile fusing of unrelated ideas in the past and ended up kicking ourselves for wasting time. Given this, it's frankly ridiculous that no one objected to the proposition, whereby we take parts from two floundering but promising pieces of music and combine them to create some supersong. But for some reason, after complicating things more and more, we finally got something which works.

I can't tell you what it is. I don't even know whether it's good. As was pointed out about half way through this little jaunt, "I don't know whether this is groundbreaking or just musically wrong". On the off chance that it's the former, we'll sleep on it and try and work out what the fuck it is that we just wrote.

In the meantime, we've made the online acquaintance of emerging Liverpool-based music blogger ManGone, delivering unbiased and well-written reviews of gigs in the city. Naturally, referencing his blog has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he thinks we're "pretty cool".
