Hmm....

Hello!
Well I think this week it has finally dawned on me. I need music. I ain't one of these peeps with headphones constantly on or must have music on constantly. But I really enjoy being part of it. I can't really call myself a fan of 'music' as obviously I don't like everything, but if I hear a song that I really like, I much prefer singing along to it that simply listening to it again and again and again.

I know of a couple of people like this. But as this is my blog, I suppose its only right to write about me. I have had an urge for a while now to be part of a band, problem being is that with instruments, I have very little talent at all, if any. I have tried the keyboard, guitar etc and it just didn't grab me. The only thing I am capable of doing is vocals...

And then you enter the problem of thinking, oh yeah I can sing, when you so can't (latest series of X-factor, possibly had the worst version of Snow Patrols 'Chasing Cars' in existance). I was in a band once, albeit we never got very far. It was a System of a down tribute band in essence, or at least that's what i was told when i joined. We performed occasionally together, but it was usually just me and the guitarist.

At times we rocked, others less so, mainly because at the age I was doing it, my voice was more unstable than it is now, meaning that some days I could blast out tracks ranging from 'sugar' to slower more stretching songs such as 'aerials' (check the vids > for the songs) easily. Other times it just didn't work. But no matter, I loved performing alongside a guitar in a back garden on a late summer night.

It ended not working out. I was being asked eventually to do songs by artists that was far too difficult for fledgling little Josh to accomplish, mainly artists such as Trivium, whereas I found the music to be good, but at the time I crucified my vocal cords attempting to sing them.

Now its a bit easier, but seeing as I ain't in band there seems little point other that the occasional karaoke/singstar session. So basically if anyone is looking a singer, which has open tastes in music (to a degree) and is fairly alright at singing (my favourite artist at the moment is Serj Tankian, apparently I can sing like him a bit ?!?) contact me... there's probably (more like certainly) better singers around than me but never mind!

Anyway enough for the shameless plugging, I am so looking forward to seeing Tankian tomorrow its indescribable
Anyway, should get chance post another post (?) over the weekend
Thanks for reading!
