Pre.Beat - A Summary

The date of 6 August would mark one remarkable event in the Cockpit chronicles.

Johnny Danger channeled, inside the chaos of Home Club, the Gods of Metal to bring the Elements, Thunder, Lightning, Stone and Fire.

They were to bring the message of Rock to the masses.

The Gods were not blind to the limitations of a human body, and offered to the Elements vials of Red Bull, of which, among them, Psyence Fyktion most readily accepted.

Bassmaster Sludge was sung songs, in celebration of his being spawned, for an infinite number of times till 2 minutes to midnight.

At the end of the set, the Collapse of Uncertainty certainly collapsed from all the wrath that was brought upon them.

And then the madness ended, with the Elements, Thunder, Lightning, Stone and Fire, lightly buzzed with fermented wheat beverages with a dash of hops.

But they STILL looked like they played magic cards all day.

Recordings

The Cockpit Flight Crew have been laying down tracks for 3 more songs of which we're in the midst of finalizing. A picture speaks a thousand words. I give you 5 thousand :



The Collapse of Uncertainty gets VIP treatment with 3 laptops all for himself.




A Eureka! moment...




... in resolving a grounding problem.




Vocals sound more sanitary when you record them in the toilet.




I don't know how to comment on this one.

This ancient manga was recommended to me by Sludge. I'm still barely halfway through, but I think it's a very motivational piece of japanese work for the passionate music-lover. This is the synopsis:

"For the first 14 years of his life, Yukio Tanaka has been one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. He yearns for an exciting life, but his shy, and somewhat neurotic personality make him his own worst enemy. Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets Ryusuke Minami, a wild and unpredictable 16-year old fresh from America, who happens to be in a rock-and-roll band named after his Frankenstein-like patched dog--Beck."

In Memory of Ronaldo Giovanni Padovan (July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010)

Rest in Peace Ronnie James Dio. You in your own way have taught the Cockpit Flight Crew the meaning of rock. Death might have claimed you, but METAL WILL NEVER DIE. \m/

Wat Wee Do Twodeh

Cockpit lays down tracks for one of their newer songs, Death on the Airways (DotA) in a sea of cables, axes, moogs, pedals, and one crappy laptop.



The dueling doesn't stop at the guitar solos: Johnny Danger and Psyence Fyktion can now body-surf with the fans, being fueled by the awesomeness of the Line 6 Relay G30 wireless transmitters!
