Double Whammy

It's flu season, the H1N1 strain is making its rounds... and this is the time of year my immune system is most susceptible, so it's no surprise that I caught the flu recently. Oh, but I'm still surprised! My body decided that one bout of influenza wasn't enough so, instead, I caught two different types. Back to back! ...This kind of thing should just not be possible. Ever. And that's all I have to say about that.

In other, more relevant news, the next 663A music performance/party is being planned out! I'll post more details here once everything is ready to be advertised, but if you're in Toronto and looking to join us then mark October 30th in your calendars~! Dr. PEACE MAKER has returned from Japan for a few months, so definitely come out to see us performing together!! :D

As always, Full Circle songs are currently in the works, so I hope to have news of new completed tracks over the next couple of months as well~ I want to start finishing songs more consistently, and there are maaany songs to finish, so wish me luck!! Things should definitely pick up again throughout fall and winter~! I'll keep you posted!

Gimme Some Suga!

...'Cause there are three new Full Circle songs up on MySpace! Suga, 光 (Hikari), and, err.. a song that is as yet untitled! While all three tracks are produced by A-KICKS (as usual ♥), they each have quite different sounds. We hope you enjoy them!!

In other news, I just noticed that MySpace increased their 6-song limit to 10 songs.... I really wish I'd noticed that before I removed three songs to make room for the new stuff! It's not a huge deal, I suppose, since I was able to add the older songs again... but now they're all at a play count of zero! Blarghargh!!! >:( Well, at least I only did it to my own MySpace... Aki's still has all the old play count statistics. :P

Anyway, the last thing I'll mention in this entry is the next (and final) Music Neighbour Music Event, hosted by 663A! (See, I really am remembering to advertise it!) It's happening in downtown Toronto on August 15th, at Nocturne Night Club, by Queen and Bathurst (550 Queen Street West). The doors open at 9pm, cover is just $5, and there are $4 drinks before 11pm! There are some awesome dancers, singers, and DJs lined up to perform, and the music will be non-stop all night! Music styles include Hip Hop, Electro, Drum n Bass, House, Reggae, Disco & Rare Groove~!

I hope lots of people can come out and enjoy the final party in the Music Neighbour series!! :D

Slackerific

I can't believe how long it took me to post another entry here... A lot has happened since the last entry! (But I'll try to cut the rambling short. :P)

First off, there are a handful of new Full Circle songs in the works! I had some hardcore recording sessions back in May, and A-KICKS has been busy mastering those tracks since then... so definitely look out for some new additions on MySpace in the next couple of weeks! Sadly, my song-writing has slowed down in the past while, but I'm working on getting my productivity back up to speed. I'm also gonna get my ass in gear and finish an album design for the first Full Circle mini-album! More information on that later~

663A has had three music performances since the last entry as well (March, May, and June--I'm such a slacker, I didn't even advertise them here!!), and the next Music Neighbour event is coming up in about a month. The format of the upcoming show will be slightly different to that of the previous parties, but I think it will work out well! ....As long as I don't have to dance. Ahem. This time I'll actually post about the event beforehand. Really.

My going-to-Japan-as-soon-as-possible plan has been foiled yet agaaaaain~!! But the good news is that I've been saving up money for the past couple of months (yes, I have a job finally! ♥) and I'll have my degree by the time I've saved up enough to leave Toronto. Which means... I'll be completing my final year at university starting this Fall. I'm not crazy about returning to school... but completing my degree now will make things a lot easier for me in the long run. I've gotta bite the bullet!

Anyway, this is a lot of text. Clearly, I don't know how not to ramble... I'll post another entry again soon! In the meantime, feel free to overplay this song, as I have been doing...:





Black & Gold - Sam Sparro

New Full Circle Track!

Finally, a new song has been completed! Please head on over to my MySpace page and listen to "Be My Boyfriend", the new track from myself and A-KICKS~! We hope you enjoy it!!

Also, my first fully Japanese song, called "My Sweet Baby", is available on ReverbNation (or through the extra player on MySpace), along with most of the Full Circle and AOA songs that were previously featured in the main MySpace music player.

A-KICKS and I are hard at work, so more Full Circle tracks with both Japanese and English vocals will be coming your way within the next few months!!♪

Two Thousand And Nine~~!!

So it's the New Year!! For some reason it feels slightly surreal that it's 2009 already... maybe because this is the last year of the "two thousand"s. Next year we'll be saying "twenty-ten", and all this "two thousand" business will be over... awww. ;P

Anyway, my New Years' was uneventful, unless you count being sick an adventure. And I realized after more than two days into the new year that I completely forgot about making a resolution, too...! But now I figure that since the resolution I made last year was decided in May... I may as well make this year's resolution in May too! (This might just be an excuse... but I can live with that.)

Unfortunately 2009 has started with a set-back for me: I no longer have any idea when I can go to Japan. At first the hold up was all document-related but now, especially with the current CAD to JPY exchange rate, it's clear that money is the main issue. So, I've got to put more effort into building up my savings!!

On that note, dear reader, please feel free to make a donation to my Mochatastic Money Basket! Be as generous as you like; I promise I won't refuse your money. >:D hahaha

Enjoy 2009, everyone! There'll be some new music updates before too long, I swear~ ;D
