Odelay

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."

Hope you like it. The link is here:

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!

Lazy Sunday

Hi Guys:


Just felt like updating you on a lazy sunday afternoon. I searched "Lazy Sunday" on youtube out of curiousity of where my mood will bring me and, guess what, there's like this, totally rad song called Lazy Sunday by The Lonely Island. So Beasty Bois y'all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuXhGLveY7o

In terms of what Cockpit has been up to, we have been very busy writing new songs and coming up with new ideas (the songs are getting faster and faster! Speed does kill!~). Concurrently, we would also be doing recordings of all the material that we have so far. All this while we settle on our A&R stuff (eg we just recently finished a real awesome photoshoot session, also discussions with various gig organisers and endorsers). So yeah, we've been a little bit occupied of late.

For those who weren't there at the last Baybeats Auditions, we will be uploading videos of our set on our facebook and myspace in the next coming weeks. If you're wondering why there's only one song in our profiles right now, it's because we are almost obsessive in our pursuit of quality. We could upload a whole bunch of rough recordings that we have done, but they sound like bootlegs (which isn't bad BAD imo, but I think you get what I mean). Don't worry, we're really working on this!

In the meantime, stay cool and metal.

Rock on

Geek Fotographi FTW

Bryan Soon has kindly sent us the photographs that he took during our little performance about a week ago, risking his physical wellness in the face of a mini-mosh pit that day. And he was still nice enough to pass us these in full DSLR glory, of which the full set can be seen in our facebook page or myspace. Cockpit recognizes courageous acts of such and gives them their due respect.

More awesome gig photos of his work can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bryansoon/sets/72157623649808197/. Really, our pictures are small change (Bryan no offense, I mean it in a good way).
