Christ I forgot I had one of these.

Has anyone seen bill, has anyone seen John?

Well where do I start, 2007 was definately the worst year of my life soo far. All the gigs were ace, meeting new people, discovering new music was awsome. In May I developed what I now know is anxiety and panic attacks. Its been an absolute Nightmare, I havent told any of my family yet but my other family "shutter" know about it and im glad to be getting some help now up at New Craigs, hopefully starting in this month.

SHUTTER life is cool just now, we had our ups and downs in 2007, petty arguments but its all sorted now and we are in fine fetal. The festivals we played were all brilliant especially Rockness and Belladrum. Also at the start of the year we played a death disco night in London. What a heap of shite that venue was. Better of playing in a building site. So yeah SHUTTER is still superb and im fucking honoured to play in the band.

On another shitty point of 2007, I lost one fo my front teeth much to my absolute horror. I went to the dentist and becasue of my fear and anxiety I have to have them sorted up at New craigs, looks like that place will be my second home for a few months. Im weirdly looking forward to it.

So to finish of all this quaff here is a list of top bands that Ive been listeing too.

Tenhi
Baroness
Torche
Death in Vegas
High on fire
Mono
Jesu
Calexico
Lowtide revelry
Stetsonhead
and a whole lot more.

Well until next time folks

Well well well

I thought id best use this thing to vent out all my problems im having at the moment. First things first, what the fuck is happening to me? I havent been feeling right for about 4 weeks now, i have this pain in my belly which wont go away, I always seem to have a lump in my throat, Im gonna get it sorted. The bitching in Shutter has to stop its getting very very pathetic now, arguing over minimal things like going out, where to eat, moeny...Jessus fucking christ. On a lighter note we supported Red Sparowes at the Glasgow Barfly which was awsome we went down really well, Sparowes were really intense live, not a huge fan of them but they were certainly the dogs balls the other night. Work is shite. Money is shite. I never ever thought id say this but INverness is getting to be a very very shitty place to live just now, soo boring, same lame ass nightlife, same narrow minded jerks who dont know any better, Some peeps think its totally ok to slag me off at work, I will have my revenge on you one day Jim from Corries oh I will "sir" you CUNT!!!!!
Even Glasgow seems appealing to me to live now that is a shock to me as a few years ago I absolutely detested the place.

Im discovering lots of lovely new bands, here is a list of my favourites:-

GODFLESH - BRUTAL

EUPHONE - IVE HAD THERE ALBUMS FOR AGES, FINALLY GAVE THEM A LISTEN THE OTEHR NIGHT, BRILLIANT QUIRKY JAZZ ELECTRONIC FUNKY SHIT

BATTLES - NEVER REALLY GAVE THEM A CHANCE BUT THEY ARE AWSOME

THE ABONIMABLE IRON SLOTH - 2 GUYS FROM WILL HAVEN, CRUSHING RIFFS AND VERY SCREAMY VOICE

Anyways thats all from lil ol me, hope you have enjoyed this read.

Pedro

Yeah!!! cool!!! amazing...awsome.......dude

Shutter conquered the hellzone last night (Glasgow). The venue was butterfly and the pig, really nice. when we walked in all I could see was GLASGOW IN A NUTSHELL, girls with hippie tops, jeans and fluffy big boots, like every single girl had them on......sheesh. Anyway that was just a minor thing, we took to the small stage and fuckiing annihalted the place. I am soo proud of shutter right now its unbelievable, Steve is amazing. Jamming at xmas time is gonna be immense i can just feel it.

ANyway back to last night, a downer infact. At the cash machine some fucking cunting twat who was drunk i might add, a glasgow yuppy cunt was saying "oh come on guys" and then, then!! he leant over and was total in my face when i was withdrawing some cash. I wish i wasnt so shy, as i would of decked the cunt.

That is all

Peace the fuck out everybody....seriously.

Love is Stronger

Today has been my fifth day without any dope, i havent seen my boys in 3 days, im falling apart.

Wed, 09 Nov 2005 12:32:50 GMT

Well this definately has to be the fastest update ever on my Live journal. Last night was hilarious totally what I needded thanx to james and Andrew.

Byeeeeeeee

Iron filings mixed with dirty oil

Tue, 08 Nov 2005 21:42:50 GMT

Anyway...............

My mind is officially fucked just now, I cant write anything and its getting me down soo bad, everything I come up with sounds out of tune, shit, or like someone else. Looking for inspiration, oxes are treating my ears right now, maaan how they can write those riffs is just fucking mental. I reckon once we start jamming again it will all fall into place. Does anyone else get the feeling that they are constantly watching a fucking clock, thats what it seems like to me right now. Routine is awake to my alarm at 6:50am, get up at 7:30am. go to work and have to be there for bang on 8.00am, T break at 10.30am, lunch at 12.30pm, back to work for 1:30pm, have a wee skive until 2:30pm, go home at 5:00pm, eat Tea at 5:30pm, have shower at 6:00pm, pick up william and james around 8:00pm and home for 12:30am, then bed. I just never have enough time for myself and it bothers me, I hardly buy dvd's now cause I never have time too watch them. Basically im busy doing fuck all. Reading someone elses journal about the amount of drugs they have taken......Fucking grow up you stupid fucking whore, bleed to death outta of your coke riddled nose you scum!! Seriously i dont have a problem with drugs, but when peeps start bragging like that its soo fucking pathetic. God arent my entries soo happy.

Fuck off

S'up

Well the weekend is over, back to the same sheeit. Work isnt bothering me at all just now (touch wood, I go in there at 8 in the morning and just go into autopilot. I dont even think about what im doing sometimes and before I know it, its 5 o'clock. I type this feeling very un-inspired, I havent written anything in weeks and even beofer that it has been just a few random chords that seem to go together. I thought that after seeing the Absolute sheer power of Shutter's good friends Small Enclosed Area on Thursday night, that I would be able to come up with something but not a single thing, can be very very upsetting and frustrating. Maybe all my ideas have been used up or something......Fook knows. Lately I have been listening to Neurosis and a band called Jesu, both quite heavy, not so sure on the Neurosis vocals, a wee bit strained but the music is awsome, dark and doomy heehee. I heard the sad news that Eden Maine have taken a hiatus (spelling?) and wont be doing anything for a while...D'oh. Hope they get well soon. Big birthdays coming up with 3 members of the shutter clan having there birthdays on the same day. I am soo worried casue I dont have any pennies. I am absolutely rooked this month, I cant even afford the birthday meal, probably just as well as i aint to keen on other folk watching me eat, especially if its peeps I know. Im sure they will all have a blast though. Looking forward to the tour in a few weeks, should be an experience. Most looking forward to the halloween gig. And I aint getting dressed up before any of you ask. Oh and another thing thats keeping me goin....MASTODON.......DECEMBER...THE GARAGE...GLASGOW. Fucking bring it.

Sunday

Sun, 02 Oct 2005 16:20:16 GMT

I havent felt like this in ages, erm........I really need a hug.

A dreamstate mind.....apparently

Thu, 15 Sep 2005 11:42:25 GMT

hello folkies.

I havent updated in a while mainly cause I cant think what too write, not even now so this might be filled with random shit thats of no interest to you. First of all let me talk about the good times and really bad times im having just now. Going out at nightime still hasnt lost its appeal, take last night for instant, fucking hilarious comedy going on in TEV, weekends are just brilliant, usually a saturday afternoon toke, and then at night a major major sesh, get up reasonably early on sunday morning, download some tunes then in the afternonn go out and usually get minced on 1 joint. then of course Sunday always leads to Monday. This week my exact words to Jackie were "i need to look for another fucking job" she seemed quite shocked. I applied for a job in dulux but had to turn it down cause the money was pathetic, this sent me on a major downer. I have written a list of points im gonna fire at Brian the Brain when he comes back from holiday, mainly things that I hate about my job, jackie and ian being a total cunt to me when there is customers about, not that i really care about customers they can all fuck off too. As for the band, the almighty SHUTTER, we just seem to get better and better. Orka is fantastic, means alot too me that one. Tour is coming up at the end of october and I cant wait. Music wise I have been listening to a lot of american lo-fi stuff e.g Sebadoh, Sonic Youth, Pavement, etc. never really got into sebadoh but right now im well into them. Alos "the sound of animals fighting" whoah whaoh whoah.....brilliant. totally inspired to write new tunes which is always a good thing, only thing is I cant right nowas my finger really fucking hurts.....NIGHTMARE!!!!!! ok thats enough.

I am a very sleepy demon

Wed, 24 Aug 2005 17:40:27 GMT

Hello

My name is still Peter, I am listening to magic numbers right now. Holy Shit...SHUTTER are now a year old, here's to another 700 years together. Friday night at the market bar wasw just simply astonishing, audience was amazing, played a belter of a set and had to do an encore. ok now im gonna explain my mind state.........I think im going mental. The only thing that keeps me going is William, James and of course Matt, sometimes I get so pissed off with myself, like today I shouted at my mum and felt absolutely Hellish afterwards but i dont have the guts to say sorry, Cunt? yup. I am half way between wanting to love everybody and wanting to destroy everything and everyone. Thats the dope for ya...aye right. Romance is definately dead in our society, its so normal to have sex with someone and totally just forget about it afterwards, I personally think this is a very very sad state of affairs.

Fair play for those people that are definately in Love, it really is a wonderful thing. Its something that will happen to me, I think of it as the time where everyone had consoles and I waited and waited, wishing I had one for years then the day came where i got my gameboy, so maybe in a few years I will find it, or maybe it is trying to find me and im hiding all the time. I do enjoy my own company alot. I miss it lots, seems like i always have to be doing someting now, or going somewhere. Right im gonna stop before i bore you to death.

Love.....peace...togetherness...Dreams....

Fuck being like this

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 15:22:47 GMT

Today was ace, right up until the point i went into the market bar, some Pish punk band playing, place was busy felt this massive sense of claustrophobia, then My sister phones giving me soo much shit. My god life can suck sometimes never mind Ill just get rid of it all by smoking soo much dope and listening too the almighty PELICAN!!!! thank you Blair form S.E.A for getting me into them.

6 days

Tue, 26 Jul 2005 13:10:00 GMT

Update.

Just finished the shutter mini tour it went like this.

Inverness downtown usa - was a great gig apart from Andy Mcmasturbator spoiling things.
Nairn Rafters- Was fucking brilliant loved it and the peeeps that were there.
Edinburgh subway - Amazing also..great bannter on the way there and also good to get craic with eddie.
Evanton Balconie inn - Good way to end the tour nice and mellow.

There seems to be some sort of ruckus between us and Fallow, like there drummer totally giving me nasty looks as i blasted Rainstick Orchestra out the car. Fuck them if they wanna be whiny lil bitches then fair enough, I have no time for that pish.

on other matters I can safely say that the whole "not having a girlfirend" thing doesnt bother me in the slitest, there is someone who I really like but im not gonna bother even trying as I dont think it would be worthwhile trying. im soo glad with all my friends that I have collected with shutter, Im off now for some sort of Star wars marathon at the roberts.

Oh aye another thing.......A & E Russels ltd can go fuck themselves...fuck off...fuck off...fuck off...Leave me be as I intend on flying you CUNTS!!!!

See ya

Tue, 21 Jun 2005 17:56:11 GMT

Evanton this Saturday. Looking forward to this apart from our Arch enemies (spindrift) being there. Let the sky fill our minds with endless power to overcome these foul demons. Back to work tomorrow after an amazing weekend. it consisted of the following:-

Seeing strange lights in the sky
Getting very freaked out
Filling my mind with dope
Getting good crack with william
Having a brilliant saturday with Willy and James
Having a great saturday night with William (consisted of alot of pot being smoked...sorry for mentioning "pot" there Andy)
Taking in Sunday Morning with a Joint.
Sleeping all day and being rather pissed off about it.
I think i need to cut down on my dope intake, feels like I cant do anything without having a j or a bukket. sucks really but the feeling I have is amazing, takes me away from all the shite in my life and there seems to be alot of that right now.
I am soo chuffed about the circle of friends I have got right now. they are all heroes. Thank you and good evening.

peace

Sunday Afternoon

Sun, 08 May 2005 15:03:34 GMT

Its 1600hours on sunday afternoon, Ive just woken up and I feel like crap. Ive missed the whole day, I didnt go to bed until 6am though, the weather was astounding then. Nobody is in my house either. ........im scared.
