Easter break is here

I've been listening to a lot of Rage Against The Machine lately. My respect and admiration for that band grows constantly. Their music is just so powerful, lyrically and musically. Their 1992 self-titled release has to be one of the best albums of all time. There are so many good tracks on there it's crazy. I love how simple and clear this album sounds, yet everything is just so dynamic. I especially enjoy the funky bass and Brad Wilk's drumming - he really knew how to use the snare drum to create a groove, and there's quite a minimal usage of toms, but every rhythm is killer. Amazing stuff.

Easter break is here. I finally have some time off again, although I have a test after the holidays and an essay to write soon. My band are hoping to write some new songs during the break - that should be fun.

Last night I went to a ska night at the university. It was good fun. I used to be really into ska and it'll always be a form of music I really enjoy. There's not much else like it.

Also, for my podcast we recently recorded an interview with one of my favourite bands - Anamanaguchi. It's a cool video, check it out at the podcast website.
