Charlie #1

Hey there!

So this is bloggin'...
another bloody hot day in the UK...gota love it.
So yeah as Miles said i just got back from California, it was an excellent trip!
Guitarist lovers check this out...http://www.truetonemusic.com/ this was a really cool guitar shop i found in LA on Santa Monica Blvd. its basicly a two story build filled with guitars..there is literally anything you can think of here all types of guitars from the plain normal to extremely odd! the same goes for amps and effects pedals. If anyone finds themselves in LA with time to spare check this shop out!
Sadly this store just meant i wanted everything...especially an American Standard Custom Fender Telecaster, if anyone has £2000+ going spare i'd be happy to take it off your hands! 

I was recommend loads of bands whilst in LA by the local youth ( which consists of either skaters or surfers ;o) Infected Mushroom was mentioned on numerous occasions so i thought i should check them out. Im not really sure how to define the songs i have heard so far...some sort of insane techno rock band, where on the other hand someone told me they were psytrance. 
I have only heard two songs and really dont know what to make of it...does anyone know this band? Do i listen further or abandon it?

Miles #1

so...
the first post!
just a quick intro really.
charlie being on a gap year and miles only working part time, we get loads of spare time.
seing as weve both got a massive interest in music and its background we wanted to make a blog.
charlie just came back from 2 weeks LA, the home of legendary punk bands like rancid, green day, blink, operation ivy... the list goes on. he spent days in the massive independent music stores out there, and picked up a couple of special edition beastie boys albums for dirt cheap. he also  grabbed his dirty mits on piles of skate stickers for me to decorate my bmx with, and (the lucky bugger) shared a chin wag with rage against the machine's tom morrello while chilling back stage at a peter gabriel concert D:
while he was away i played some crappy local shows, but mainly worked alot on my new solo record. coming together slowly... but will be worth the wait. the 2 of us are working with a local film maker (charlie is also helping produce the album) and were putting together a couple of music videos, and a friend from sitrus clothing is helping with the art.
all is going in our camp!
oh yea, the blog name idea is a secret. if youre the first peroson to work out the story behind 'the edgeware brainstorm' then we'll throw you some free cds, and maybe a sitrus tshirt.
peace!
