Hats are cool. Especially mine
Posted March 4th, 2007 by DomIt was James’ birthday yesterday and we had a hat party. Check out the great pics (as seen on flickr). Bet you can’t guess which hat was mine…no prizes for the first one to guess
New blog
Posted March 4th, 2007 by DomSo I decided to move the Douglas Furs portion to another blog page to keep it separate from my personal blogging stuff.
I’ll try to post band stuff on both but then keep anything non-band on this blog. Be sure to check it out at

and try out those demo songs!
3-in-1 Band Practice
Posted February 1st, 2007 by DomOk, I’ve been really slow in posting about practice recently so I’m combining 3 in one.
Date: 17 January 2007
Location: Red Room, Rich Bitch Selly Oak
This was probably my worst practice yet. I got back from my work conference at 12, didn’t sleep much the night before and was slightly hungover. But dedicated as I am, [...]

Band Practice - 10/01/07
Posted January 17th, 2007 by DomDate: 10 January 2007
Location: Lilac Room, Rich Bitch, Selly Oak
I should’ve blogged this sooner really but there you go. I got there on time (just about) to find out that my fellow band members were there about 30 mins prior and had been in the room for that time. And they didn’t tell me! I [...]

Conference
Posted January 17th, 2007 by DomI’ve just got back (a few hours ago) from my annual Sales Conference for work. Its the first one I’ve been to and it was out in Coventry. About 6 sales offices were invited and packed into one hotel. The actual event was a bit of a waste really. All political nonsense and broad general [...]

Band Practice - 06/01/07
Posted January 6th, 2007 by DomDate: 6 January 2007
Location: Rich Bitch, Selly Oak (Beige Room)
Firstly, the reason I mention the room colour (they’re labelled by colour. Fancy eh!) will become clear later.
Our first practice of the year was a good one. Its been a while since our last and it went well. I got to try out my overdrive pedal [...]

Christmas toys
Posted January 4th, 2007 by DomI finally got round to installing the GarageBand jam pack I got from Katie. Haven’t really got time to try it out at the moment but when I get some time, I’m gonna try record some things, maybe Russia or Gouge Away and see what I can do with them.
It comes with loads of loops [...]

Band Practice - 13/12/06
Posted December 13th, 2006 by DomDate: 13 December 2006
Venue: Rich Bitch, Selly Oak
Midweek practice this week since the weekend has posed some problems, one of which being Fake-Christmas. So we went for a afterwork session. Not so easy when your work is so fussy about leaving 15 minutes earlier that I had to take a shorter lunch. Not that anyone [...]

Band Practice 2/12/06
Posted December 4th, 2006 by DomDate: 2 December 2006
Place: Rich Bitch, Selly Oak
Good two hours this week. A bit more productive. Usual warm up, ate some food, tuned, fiddled with the knobs to get a good sound come out although it was a bit crunchy. Changed the bass and treble but didn’t help much. Got on with it and played [...]

Band Practice 25/11/06
Posted November 25th, 2006 by DomDate: 25 November 2006
Place: Rich Bitch, Selly Oak
Another week, another practice. I was hoping to arrive on time this week but Katie was gonna come along too so I had to wait for her to get ready. The practice started as usual, tuning, Chris smashing his drums, then straight into a run through of “Russia”. [...]
