2008 summary

I just went to Ruben's blog and read his last post about 2008, what he did and did not. I guessed I could do the same, because this blog is about talking about me after all (quite a selfish exercise indeed).
So this year I:

• Came back to France in February
• Worked from abroad with Right Now
• Looked for an appartement
• Found a new job in Paris
  
• Finaly found an appartement
• Partied a lot (especially during the summer)
• Met a few new friends
• Traveled across Europe to meet with the ERASMUS crowd
• Wrote some songs
• Had tons of fun rehearsing with the Acolyts
• Had a pretty darn good time with the "gens sympas"
• Went to an Iron Maiden concert!
  

This year I did NOT:

• Conquer the world
• Play live
• Hook up with any woman
• Find time to write down these crazy musics I got in my head
• Exercise enough
• Traveled enough (even if I came back from the USA, went to Spain, Belgium x2 and Slovakia)
• Celebrate Xmas
  
• Die (fortunately!)
  
• Find the cool version of myself I lost somewhere in Finland (I got to get it back! It could be sauna related)

Humm this is not a complete list, if you guys got anything to add to it, please tell me!

It's X-Mas! (not yet)

Ho ho ho! X-mas is coming! Booo, the vampires and mummys are crawling in the streets shouting tricks or treats, then they all gather to eat a big chunk of turkey and go egg hunting to digest.
When they get 10 chistmas eggs they all start listening to some Acolyts bootleg. That's why I give you some music so you can do the same!

L'Anus Artificiel:

My Psycho Dinner:

Harbinger:

Shaï-Hulud:

Zoidberg and the free buffet:

These were recorded last weekend at our rehearsal. I was using my brand new portable mirophone, I'm still learing how to use it so the sound isn't optimum. Also Martial wasn't there so there is only one guitar playing (mine).

Well enjoy!

My psycho dinner

One day, I had a terrible blues experience. It was sudden, almost deadly. It came unannounced, stealthily and stroke me right in the heart. Leaving a scar that would last for my lifetime. This song is just a poor testimony to what really happened that day.

Lyrics:

The blues x6

I just finished eating my dinner
when suddenly the blues
took control over my body
I could feel the blues vibrations inside of me
I had to grab my guitar and let it loose
or it would destroy my mind

Working seventy hours
wooh I earn good money
Oh women, I got this feelin'
I'm sleep walking

Why do I get this feeling
This feeling.
That I'm not livin' my life like I should
Oh like I should

There's emptiness inside of me
Oh why did you let this be
Where are you? I'm still looking
And still I wonder

Why do I get this feeling
This feeling.
That nothing's real but... but...
Is there a need for real?

Why do I get this feeling
oh This feeling.
That nothing's real but... but...
Is there a need for real?

solo.

Oh women
I'm here can't you see
Oh you never you never
Look at me

Oh lord
Why do I get these feelings
If I can't change any of this
Oh oh noooo.

The blues went away
just like a train of thoughts that was lost
nothing could get a hold on it anymore
The blues was gone, and so was my peace of mind!

//End of lyrics

I hope you enjoy that one and have fun listening to it just as much as I had creating it !

Paris Clem: In the heart of blues.
