Don't ya just love it when your "productive" music practice turns into a rave party after recording something and playing it through an amp.

No?

My bad.

But that would probably describe what happened to our Extreme (The Youth Group @ Church) Music Practice as we diligently traversed the myriad of songs we have laid out for Extreme Camp and the upcoming few normal Extreme Songs of Awesome Praise (S.O.A.P.) Sessions. Did we love it? Booyah, every second of it. (Feel free to back-hand slap me in Real Life guys if you disagree, or a punch would suffice, or a vicious berating online or offline.)

What song could have possibly garnered such an outrageous response?

Simplistically beautiful, one of the great one hit wonders of the Nineties.

"Dancing in the Moonlight" - Toploader (and for those music buffs out there, Aye, tis a cover of the original 1973 version by King Harvest)


See link for reference. Memories for some and exclamations of "WHAT IS THIS!" for others and then various other reactions.

Good times, good times. One of the many reasons why I love jamming with this bunch of like-minded blokes (included Matt 'Machan' Chan) is the awesome team chemistry we got and how spontaneous we all are in our different ways. Did quite a few other neat things like messing around with ways of playing worship songs, like putting the lyrics of "Take my Life" - Garage Hymnal version to the tune of The Final Countdown, or revisiting the good 'ol "This Love" intro by Maroon 5 also for Take my Life.

Things are definitely happening with Cross.Transmission. I guess we're just sorting out the finer details of how we can get the best out of the recording tools that we have. Which is...not much at all. An Iphone being the best tool currently? Hahahaha...

Seriously...

Hahahahaha.

ha.

ha~

Although I had "productive" in quotation marks at the beginning of the post. I will say that it was very productive in my opinion. Knocked down quite a few songs from the set and things are shapin' up and I'm really excited for the weeks ahead leading up to Extreme Camp. Sure, things are gonna be crazy busy but hey, it's still awesome to see things come together, and it's double awesome to be enjoying the process of it all.

Kinda like a double rainbow, but without the "What does it mean?" bit, and the crying.

Will T out~
