Inspiration? We shall see!

Yo! Well, I'm working full time, sorting out my Master's degree for next year and having a mini quarter life crisis. ARGH EXISTENTIAL CRISES! O_O But despite all this, I have got a paper accepted for a conference, organised an illustrated talk for next month, and sorted meeting my girlfriend at the airport when she arrives in two weeks :) Productive? Maybe. But I think I can do more. Therefore: I shall! Never let anyone tell you that you have limits. They don't know your potential, they only know the limits of their own. Keep on pushing people's expectations, surprise them, and make them proud to know you. That's my plan. I shall let you know how it goes. peace and love to all! Jxx

Clockwork Radio Gig


Last night. I went to a gig in Rascals Bar, Bangor.

The bar itself is a decent sort of place, airy and larger than it looks from the outside. It used to be a bookshop.

The band playing was Clockwork Radio, a five-piece rock band with enough talent to put Mozart to shame. They don't play modern rock like they always play on the radio, all fringes, tight jeans and dull, repetitive ambient noise.

They make noise. Loud noise with guitars and pedals.

Bloody good music is what they play, with lyrics that have meaning, bass that rattles your lungs, and guitar that melts faces!

I took some photos (awful ones) with my phone (yes, that phone) and I have a shocking admission to make...

I've bought an album. Yes, it's that serious, go and listen to them now, because this kind of rock music is EXACTLY what the world needs to be hearing right now.

Love and hugs y'all!
