I've finally bought another amp

Current mood: scared

Two weeks ago I purchased a custom-order Soldano Avenger with an effects loop.

Currently the amp is lying low in Matamp's factory 25 miles from where I bought it in Manchester, waiting for me to fly over with my brother on the 21st of Decemeber, where I will test it out with as many different speaker configurations as possible. I'll then hopefully walk away with a Custom Matamp 2x12 and Soldano Avenger 50 Head!

I've also promised myself a T-Rex Tonebug Reverb, Lovepedal Babyface Tremolo, MXR Analog Delay and some form of overdrive/fuzz from Pro Guitar Shop in America.

I think that will be it for a while. Maybe another guitar in six-twelves months if something comes up cheap, like a Yamaha SG in Brownburst. Otherwise, I'm staying clean for as long as I can!

Shopping List for the Summer

Current mood: contemplative

It's final, I will be definitely getting a new amp this summer no matter what it is, how much it cost or how long I will keep it.

I've had great amps in the past and I've loved having them as part of my life, even though they've never lasted more than six months (excluding my precious Vox) But a time has to come where I settle down and build from the one perfect amplifier.
And on that point, I will be taking a trip to Germany in a few weeks to Music Store in Cologne, where I will hunt down the best amplifier and the best guitar I can find.


The main amp being a Diezel Einstein 50 watt head, and the main guitar being a Mayones Setius GTM-7.

If I am happy with both of those I will buy the guitar and come home to sell my old seven string. With a little more waiting and saving I will then buy the Einstein and, either a Framus Dragon 2x12, or a Matamp Custom 2x12 with a more interesting speaker setup--Maybe a V30 and a G12 K100.

If I am not happy with the amplifiers I find in Germany, I will buy a Valvepower, a Hayden Mofo or a Matamp King Street Classic (or something similar) and a Line 6 Vetta II.

If I am not happy with any of the guitars I find (doubtful) I will begin modifying my current equipment.

Anyway, I hope it goes well and I look forward to it!

Vomitorium

Current mood: sick

Vomitorium

the Bournemouth streets are sealed with water
while wafers float me further still away from land.
the attention seekers belly flop from piers protruding
like acidic giants battling base ants.
who are they to decide what' tall and what's small?
Who am I to leap from their shoulders onto their backs?

a crowd of crows are gathered around and begin cawing
as one holds his crotch in a foamy suffering.
it's a cock eat cock world, and the ice-cream cum tastes nice,
but the worst of it really is,
I crave that same sand fight, that same sticky seaside sensation.
I crave it just as much as the war of terror,
just as much as stuffing myself full of every flavour.
who can see the errors when given so many black eyes for
straying too far from the watery path?

walk as a rant from the mouths of something pretty
hand in hand through the jetty,
under the stairs leading down onto the beach
and under the stairs leading up to heaven
or down to hell – a personal entrance to leave at any time.
I'm a high-grade actor with bad guts,
who's sick of feeling sick
who's sick of eating nothing but pussy.

An Ideal Hiding Spot

Current mood: accomplished

An ideal hiding spot

birds... an ideal term,
better than airborne creatures anyway,
if only the girls didn't find it so debasing.

cheeky robin's, totally desensitized and fearless,
keep
their tongues tight against the inside of their mouths.
I know I'd be brave enough to do the same
if flying didn't take me so high off the ground.

the ideal hiding spot is right here
in the place where I'm as desensitized as the robin
where the girls look fat and ugly,
but have pretty skinny personalities.
where everyday, I see various different
parts of the letter ex everywhere I go and in every face I see.
ignore my predetermined life
 - like the robin.

Zombies

Current mood: excited

Zombies

A robin cursorily disappears
as something stumbles head-first
through the forest.
in the second before escape
the mind twitches and restarts.
-I will never see you again, Robin of Sherwood.

A thief walks quieter with no shoes on.
he predicts every creak
as he trespasses further into the house,
further into a strangers future.
-treasure, I will never see you again.

the diamonds fall head-long into a deep ravine
dying when they hit the bottom.
the echoing screams are agony to the ears,
breaking the barriers between
being someone, and not.
-death, I will never find you.

a zombie moves,
slugging at anything imaginable.
he stumbles over a girder
and collapses onto an upturned broken bottle.
-I will never make as much progress as you, dear,
dead zombie,
I will never eat as many souls,
or achieve so much
with so many cries forced from others.

Glory Box

Current mood: okay

Glory Box

I like to keep my cactus safe in the glove box
it reminds me of how much it hurts to love
the hand goes in quicker every time
to stab at something other than skin
but all I feel is the blood behind the flesh
the swim of the dark red against the river
there's not a slide for children into the water
but a thrust of the nouveau-riche hair against
black rebellious coats wrapped around a blunt point.
I like to keep my cactus in the glory box
and dip in whenever God lets me.

Untitled

This is not a painting
this is a portrait;
a pour spot on a page,
self absorbed into silk.
plump limbs on plum lips
parade circles
for lonely bastards.
there's no way of wriggling
yourself out of this one,
the squiggle is just too tight
in the wrinkles.

Age Old

Is it fair to say maturity
belongs in the eyes of a clown?
invert your smiles and
make them bleed,
because obscurity
is everything I want.
it may not be everything I need,
but at least it provides excitement
for a guy who has an air-phobia.
