okay, so its been a while since my last blog but ive been busy- this one is just about the dance show we did last year. Here are the two pieces we did. "The Nightmare Circus" (which is also on my profile page) and "The Eve of the War" (track taken from the 'War Of The Worlds' musical).

okay, okay... so i was supposed to do this back in january- but been so busy, ohh well...


Not in any particular order (so I just put them alphabetically). Of course loads of stuff was listened too this year but in order to make this list they had to be albums that:

a) were considered to be exceptional and standout (in my opinion) from all the dope stuff i listened too and
b) had to be ones in which I liked the album as a whole and could listen to every track (if you know what i mean)...
So here they are:
Annie - "Anniemal"
Arch Enemy- "Doomsday Machine"
Atreyu - "The Curse"
Erlend Oye - "Unrest"
Imogen Heap - "Speak For Yourself"
Love Pyshedelico - "Greatest Hits"
Merz - "Loveheart"
Roadrunner United - "The Allstar Sessions"
Tegan and Sara - "So Jealous"
Trivium - "Ascendency"

Quietly we slip into 2006... well it was for me anyway, being at home with a cold and feeling all hazy and drugged out from the medication.
The next day we had a traditional Japanese New Year's meal called Osechi which is made up of loads of different ingredients- and drunk sake with tiny flakes of real gold in it! yep- thats how we live it up in the Hosomi household! Pics of what we had and also a pic of my Japanese living room (just cos i felt like it) are below:

All the best for everyone in the new year!

Check out the band Our Empire hailing from Newport, South Wales! The younger brother of my aforementioned cousin plays Bass in it and they're actually pretty damn good. Big up the Skelton clan! woohoo!
They are, as of yet unsigned but, but please check em out on their website or you can listen to some tracks on their myspace:
myspace.com/ourempire


official website: www.ourempire.co.uk/
So yeah... check them out!

...and also strangely coincidental....
Today i found out from my dad (who i dont see all that much) that my cousin in Newport, who happens to be younger than me, became a father back in September!
I was like WTF!!!??? Came as a bit of shock to me specially since its been a couple of months since then. I wouldnt even have dreamt of being a father right now- so its kinda mindboggling.
But wait.. thats not the weird part.. he (the baby) was named Jack- which makes him: Jack Skelton!!!!
Dont you see?.. uncannily similar to my hero Jack Skellington!!!....hell, i would have called my son that!....
Is my cousin a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas? i dunno.. probably not. But i tell you what.. im likin this kid already... he has plenty to live up to!
Anyway, congratulations Dom! I know youll be a kick-ass dad!


Above: what the baby could look like...
Nah, thats a bit innacurate. He would be, at least... twice as big as that!
