Hm. I want to blog today (to keep up the regularity of my posts).. but I can’t seem to think of anything to blog about. Its been getting a bit like that lately. That, and the fact that work has been ultra busy the past few weeks, has made it a little quiet on the blogging front.

Makeover!

Yesterday I got a free napolean makeover! Thats the second time they’ve called me up asking if I would like to make an appointment for a free makeover. I didn’t get around to it the first time, but this time I thought, why not! And I loved the results… so then followed the obligatory cam shoot. 😛

Tee hee. Makeup is so fun! *girly squeal* 😀 (No I am not being a ditz/blonde/bimbo. Not at all.) Oh, and I resisted the temptation to buy more makeup. Aren’t you proud of me. 😛

Jazz Fusion – Wk 2

Jazz fusion last night was great! Its so much fun to play at such an intense level for 2 hours straight. Its damn hard too, but being pushed and challenged like that is really beneficial for my playing.. and fun! We learnt this new Yellowjackets piece called “Whistle While You Walk”. It was… very hard! Its a really fast funk/swing piece, and the timing is soo, soo syncapated – all these hits on different beats of the bar. We had to be really precise and clean otherwise the chords would sound muddy. But we were getting it by the end.

Oh, and in the middle of the song is a 12 bar blues in F. Very cool. I really like the chord progression they use. For the musically inclined, the chords are:

F7 | Bb7 | F7 | F7 | B7 | Bb-7 | F7 | D7 | G-7 | C7 | A-7 Ab-7 | G-7 Gb-7 | F7

Current listening :: “Use The Force” – Jamiroquai (Jay Kay is so cool. Funk-ay!!)

    Heehee.. thanks! 🙂

    Heh, well.. if you go to their website (www.yellowjackets.com), and then to Evening News -> Mint Jam Liner Notes, you can listen to mp3 snippets of their live recording Mint Jam. From that album, we’ve played “Les Is Mo”, “Motet” and “Mosaic”.

    Its interesting music… different. Sometimes I don’t really like their arrangements – coz they use alot of synth, and it can sound a bit… cheesy/elevator-music-ish at times. But once u get used to it, you can look past the arrangement, and its pretty good. And I like how it sounds when we play it in class… 🙂
