SO MUCH FOR ONE A DAY!!!

so yeah i said at the start of the year i was going to do a blog a day
that went down the pan
but yeah just a massive update really
my last update i was only on my second gig
im a bit further on than that now
and luckily got quite a few coming over summer
and maybe even a festival or two, but there still in talks with organisers
and i have actually been told not to tell anything about them
but shush
:D

next thing yeah i finish college tomoz forever
then off to uni in september hopefully
up north to sunderland
when tbh i actually want to be down in london or brighton
but 3 years after i finish my course, im going to get myself a nice little 2 bedroom place in brighton, i can see it now
:D
then up to london, then ill get old and settle in the countryside
:)
thats a few years on

i have been writing loads of new songs
all my best stuff is my new stuff
i mean like i have SO MUCH
here are a few influences for it...lights and sounds, klaus says buy the record, tonight is goodbye and the maple state and a bit of sam isaac
so mixed vibe, some of its really upbeat some of its quite slow and deep
but i really fucking love it
you will too
new release late summer hopefully
still need to luck for a good studio to record it at it
and you bitches, not really, but yeah you need to buy it
so im not in more debt at uni
ha!

you can still get my debut ep from my webstore at www.jamieday.bigcartel.com
nice one, you get 8 tracks on it now, cos you get 4 bonus tracks from bbc radio session
oh dear, if last time i wrote a blog on here i thought i would be doing a radio session i would laugh
things have turned great
i know have a band, well a drummer, and he creates the sound, well makes it
good ole carson!

but yeah, anything else, summer starts tomorrow sometime!
so bring on the song writing mega time!!!

big brother is on now
ill talk tomoz

bye chickadees

i got told i could do 10 mins instead of 2 songs so i thought ok throw in another song in the middle of the 3 then after the 2nd got told TO GET off
gutted
but nevermind

it's all happening...
















i like what is happening with my music atm
i seem to be no stop writing loads of great songs, in my opinion, this time 2 months ago noone had ever heard me song and play guitar at the same time apart from callum, lol
and now i am, having my artwork for my first e.p ready, the date booked in, 15+ songs written, a few gigs lined up and people commenting on how they like my music, endless myspace plays a day, its all manic...it makes me happy
:)

but yeah this blog was going to be a simple copy paste of the blog i posted on myspace last night so here you go!



"THATS RIGHT STRANGER
:)

so just another update
i am making a cd on the 22nd march
it will be out start of april
good times
i will have more dates from hear onwards
on the record will be 4 songs
2 on my myspace player currently, but with 2 guitar parts and drums, cos i is gunna propa produce a record
;)
thats it really
one song is about my day
one song is about a girl
one song is about london
one song is about how my life is moving on

i wrote these songs about my life, people in it, things that will happen or won't and about made-up stories
:)

that's all
im going to play final fantasy:revenant wings on my ds in bed now or watch some tv
i want a cup of tea but dont wanna wake up the folks

:)
erm ive been offered gigs everywhere tbh, but its just getting there, and im worried about noone coming to see me, as im not very broadly known "yet" lol but yeah ive turned down gigs in coventry, lark in the park at london, wales, its crazy but...from easter onwards i am up for venturing further than lincolnshire
:)

can i keep this up?

can i?
keep these blogs been written everyday, i know in a week or two, it'll start going down hill with everything in life buy y'know!

so last night i watched this thing about eating to save your life, it was really interesting and made me think about the crap i eat, and i decided im going to eat like an apple a day as i dont eat many fruits and i dont eat any vegetables, and cut down the junk and fast food i eat. fair
ok!
then i watched castaway, one of my favourite tom hanks (my favourite actor) movies, the story line is so great for a film with a film with not much dialogue, and it reminds me of i am legend in the sort of sense that its based around one character, but i find that in i am legend, i was getting bored because of the one character story line, but in castaway your always watching and eyes are always open, cos stuff is always happening, and unlike will smith has a dog, tom hanks has wilson, its genius, it really is!
so yeah, i found myself never using fullstops as i dont know where put them sorry
.!
:)

erm today i went to college
FUN
it dragged onto much, interesting convo's about wind turbines were going and energy resources and us all dying, so yeah, i can never get in the right frame of mind to be in the conversations though, its cos im small, and have a small voice, well kind of :/ but im a loud character so by drawing a wind turbine and turning it into a big fan for wheelchair bound people on the white board i found myself attracting attention!
i also rang the keelogs hotline this morning, saying how much i like teh rice crispie bars, i saved it on my phone, its genius
:)
erm yeah, then this afternoon we fucked about with imperial mints that matt brought, i have never seen so many mints on the floor at once, think about all the africans yeah
nm
:)
and then i showed matt this blog, and he was well impressed and no doubt tomoz if he shows up ill show him and be like oh i wrote about when i showed you my blog
dynamite huh!

came home, went to get skins tickets at 17:07, 7 minutes after 5 when they were released and they had already gone
not happy, but i came home to find out sunderland were happy i had applied there, ucas got my application form and kerrang was at home too
so yeah
erm thats me done really
my fingers are hurting
peace out
;)

so WOW

this time in 9 months i should be at uni, not at home anymore, how exciting, i just fear that no uni's will get back to me
thats the scary thing
i might them some guylian belgian shell chocolates cos who doesnt love them
lol

so ive just been to hairdressers, yep not barbers ;)
as i HAD too kind of as i have a interview for currys on saturday, so i have to look my best so by having 2 hairs off my head, cos thats all it looks like, i will achieve that
great time

erm also this morning, i woke up to my mum asking if id bought anything
which i had, but i said hm dont think so, as she dont know about the guitar i bought
lolz
but yeah i had to go to post office to pay an extra £1.06 onto a little packet which my klaus says buy the record cd in, which is a month late, and i wasnt happy
but i have the cd now and the nice people at riddlestone put in 3 "i love good books" badges in too, for my troubles
so its not all bad

now i have to listen through the gorrilaz first album as im sure one of the songs on there will go great as background music for my animation at college called "buff cat barry" he is a weightlifitng cat
but seriously the first gorrilaz album, the one with them in a car on the front, is amazing, appreciated more at this time than it was when they first came out, well i got the cd in year 2000, along time of go
get it off ebay for a quid or summets, you wont regret it!
:)

thats all, off for luncheon now
