Moss - I Am So Cold!

Robotic love tangled up in colourful leads :)

The 16 track sounded sick today drums had heaps of low end and the kick was intense like an old skool soul record glad I tinkered round with it a while ago now it's way more open and free kinda like the difference between being locked up and on the run.  
The guitars were shimmering almost orchestral clean not dirty. I hooked up the Ekadek electronics and sound​ Ak47 to my Akai hard disc recorder I rescued from a bargain bin many years ago a vintage grunge child of the 90's and was pleasantly surprised or in truth more like completely bowled over. I was just winging it as you do throwing up a few mics and capturing sound while trying new grooves and stuff. The wild, wet and windy backdrop of Auckland city and its up and down weather patterns provided the best scene like out of a movie for recording and mucking round and having fun. Its almost indescribable diving into the river of sound its pure and refreshing experience almost biblical you never quite know whats down their like the belly of the beast all the possibilities surrounding you like fate swirling round in immeasurable depths :) But God Am I looking forward to Summer or what man!

What I'm Listening too - Gabrielle Aplin, Xing, Saint Raymond

 Gabrielle Aplin


Awesome singer songwriter from Bath in the U.K. Her song "Please Don't Say You Love Me" has just gone platinum in Australia. It's a very heartfelt song and Australian's are really digging it.
She's born in 1992. She writes about "things i've done, places i've been, people i've met, cats i've met, dogs i've met... food..."

XING



A band from California, USA. This song is awesome because its a folk song very similar to all top 40 folk songs that have blown up but has some rocker edge. The string arrangement's kickass, vocal performance is nice and trippy and I like the big chorus sing along!! yes yes :)

Saint Raymond



Massive new artist Saint Raymond delivered up a brilliant pop song on "I Want You" this song really sounds so good and perfect. I like the lyrics again the vocal performance is amazing but I especially like the production on this song. I'm not sure if Jake Gosling had something to do with it maybe not but man this song is sweet!!

Powerball - Jacksonville Beach Florida Rockers that Destroy

This week I got a kick-ass link to Powerball's face-melting rock performance in Jacksonville USA. It was sent my way by my good friend and fellow RockNRolla  Lyle T Reimann. I've got to say "War Pigs" was sensational and the riffage was totally off the meter. Not only that Powerball's frontman held it down with a veterans conviction and the drums well they were being smashed into an early retirement just the way I like it!!!. Well i've got to say it was awesome to watch this video and will make sure Volita checks it out and studies the shredding of Thommy Berlin a true master of the full on Axe-Attack. Shit this makes me want to go smash the shit out of a drum kit and that's a great feeling. Great work guys The Neo-Kalashnikovs Salute You!!! all the way from the land of the Kiwi :)

Day Master signs of The Neo-Kalashnikovs

In the chinese zodiac everyone has a day master that forms the back-bone of who you are. It is described as the 'me' part of the 'you' in everyday life. The year you are born, your month and hour complete the four pillars that reveal your destiny. I have noticed that all the bands day master signs are ruled by the dominant Yang parts of each element; making us strong and powerful :) . The Yin parts of fire, metal and water are by comparison more gentle and reserved. In my personal opinion I think our elements reflect us correctly. Moss is usually described as fiery, Volita is definetly the smoothest, eloquent member being extremely calm, while Gabriel is tough like iron underpinned by his logical thinking and unwavering sense of character which I admire))))  

Monkey - Moss Bioletti - Fire Day Master 

Bing Day Master (The Sun)

If you are a Bing (Yang Fire) day master, imagine the Sun energy.  This is big and active fire, and channelling warmth across earth and all things.  A Bing day master thus radiates warmth and radiance, and is vibrant, vivacious and sunny in disposition.

This is a person who is open, frank, generous and full of warmth, passion and enthusiasm. honest, passionate and upright.  Bing people are generally cheerful and well-liked by others.  They have leadership capabilities and will not stop until they attain their goals. Like the Sun, Bing day masters are big-hearted and of striking personality. 

They are not only amicable and lenient, but also very energetic, show enthusiasm and interest in all things, and will actively hands-on in action.  They like to do big things.
However they also have big ego and pride.  Just like the Sun, day in and day out, it does the same thing.  Hence, Bing people very often are routined oriented and easily become complacent and get stuck in one way.

As Bing people are dynamic in nature, since the Sun looking across the earth, can create benefits as well as unhealthy or harmful reactions especially scorching hot when one gets too near, they play both the good and the bad roles in their lives.  They can be impatience and have a tendency to waste.  Also prone to mood swings every now and then.  Sometimes they can be conceited and sometimes they have a merciful heart.  So friends tend to come and go.
Bing characteristics will defer according to their overall Bazi chart and will depending greatly on what time the person is born.  Are you born day time or night?

Snake - Volita Bioletti   Water Day Masters
Understanding (Ren) Water Character (Yang Water)

Just like waters of rivers and sea or waterfalls, they flow continuously everywhere, and drawn into various kinds of things, the Ren person is worry free and optimistic; they do not mind the past and are filled with courage to move on.

They show enthusiasm in whatever they do.  They like to help others and don’t mind hardships.  They are vivacious, lively, high-spirited, and often become the center of attraction. They are high adaptable to change in any circumstances.  They are also quick to grasp and will not miss any good opportunity that comes along.  Once the drive kicks in, they will overcome all difficulties to meet their objective to reach their goal.

Ren people are clever, intelligent and full of inspiration.  They can be endowed in both civil and martial virtues, have leadership qualities, and are able to outshine and surpass themselves from others.

Shortcomings are that although they have a well-rounded personality, they are willful.  They can be lazy and this causes them to be dependent on others easily.  Ren people are very fond of freedom, dislike to be restrained or controlled.  As a result, they are not able to hold on to the last-minute at times.  They are also easily affected and get entangled in love relationships.

Dog - Gabriel Bioletti  Metal Day Masters
Understanding (Geng) Iron Character (Yang Metal)

Like a sword being sharpened for war, Geng people are strong and hard when compared to others of the same nature. They are sharp, determined, straightforward, strong-willed, and do not admit failure easily.  They show much enthusiasm and determination in whatever they do, as they do not want to waste time thinking and contemplating, and once they have made a decision, they will take action without any hesitation.
Geng people exercise great comprehension and will spare no effort to upgrade oneself.  They can be proficient in a skill most of the time; apply and reap benefits from what they have studied or learnt.
They are ruled by the belief systems and principles, thus they have a strong sense of justice. are against unfairness or hypocritical behaviour.  They also have a chivalrous heart; when they see others suffering from injustice, they will stand up for those suffering.
One of their shortcomings is stubborness; after decided on something, they will not change their decision under any circumstances.  Superficially, they are unbending rather than stubborn, and hard rather than tough.

Geng people are also careless, not paying much attention to fine details or feelings.  They can also show little or no mercy for people whom they do not like, hence will make enemies very easily.

p.s- Water is also associated with a heightened sense of creativity which Volita has. While Fire in Moss' case reflects Yang Fire's unparalled sense of Drive.  Lastly Metal in Gabriel's case re-inforces his unshakeable ability to preform in the studio and on stage with ease.
