zerodaybug

It was zerodaybug's first jam session after a three-month hiatus. I felt a little bad for not keeping up with practice because I have no motivation except when we have jam sessions. I like to keep up the rock star poseur once in a while.

By the way, Leonard put up the vid of us practicing soul asylum's 'runaway train' for the Science Club's bandcomp (yes, haha..) four months back. That's me on the left contributing the mind-numbing guitar noise backup. He's the one playing the ripping cool guitar solo.

To be sure, zerodaybug is Leonard's band, even though he didn't come up with the geeky band name inspired by a virus. He's the only one consistently learning new songs and making sure the rest of us turns up.

In fact, we wouldn't know what to play today had Leonard not prepared the songs and chords. That always works. Besides, our lead singer, Leon, couldn't make it today so Leonard wrote the chord progression to Hotel California and we played instrumental. It is a really good guitar song, although I got sick listening to Eagle's demo music video when I was selling Sony's hifi at IMM some time back.

Leonard wrote another progression: 1 measure of B minor, followed by F#, D, E and F#. Interesting. It's Britney's Baby Hit Me One More Time. He even brought the lyrics and the band took turns singing it since one guitarist sufficed and Leonard could play the bass guitar and drums. When it was my turn to sing, I remembered thengz who's such a big fan of Britney. I dialed his number and continued with the song. "How excited he would be if he heard the song over the phone?"

My day ended with good music at the Blue Jazz bar though. Lulu called up our bunch of old friends and I didn't want to miss it. I said 'haji lane' but the taxi unkle heard 'chai chee lane', which is in Bedok and not where the bar is. I made a big detour back to town, met the guys, talked cock, had beer with Eric Clapton's music in the background before calling it a day.
