[posted late on 10/6] and so, arm-ageddon begins

[frostythehitman]

Retrospect just chopped my f****** arm off
I woke up this morning with only one arm
My dad's going nuclear and my sister screamed when she saw me
What the hell am I supposed to do now

Before anyone asks no I don't need to go to the hospital I already got it looked at
But consider this a PSA start sleeping with one eye open
In case retrospect comes for you in the middle of the night with a f****** hatchet

Anyway this means A Lyrical Assassination is going on indefinite hiatus
I never got around to finishing it but here's what I managed to put together for the new album before retrospect decided to rip my arm off
Enjoy it because it's the last music I ever made

I could come to you, if that would be easier. Is there anything else I can do right now?

[frostythehitman]

No don't come here they don't let civilians on post
Now's just not a good time
Unless you can reattach my arm to my body then there isn't anything anyone can do

[covenantal]

... I know I can't imagine what you're going through right now, Bucky. But whatever happens, you'll have friends in your corner to back you up whenever you need it.

Whenever you're ready, I might have an offer for you.

[frostythehitman]

[ Screw "ready", you've got him curious now. ]

what is it

INBOX

[covenantal]

[ So yeah Yu is going to go ahead and move this to inbox because even months on he's still weirdly paranoid about this for some reason. ]

I write music, but I'm not much of a performer. I was composing songs for a friend, but she no longer has the Retrospec app.

I could use a new vocalist to work with.

[frostythehitman]

[ ...well this is unexpected. James didn't even know Yu wrote songs at all. ]

what kind of music

[covenantal]

It depends on the style of the artist I'm working with. I'm pretty flexible, though my personal tastes tend towards acoustic.

[frostythehitman]

[ Acoustic, huh? Easy enough--but also a little unusual, considering his finished songs are almost never acoustic. ]

if youve heard any of my music then you know i lean towards punk/emo/screamo

[covenantal]

I think I'd like to give punk a try. I think it's an interesting avenue for me to pursue with my music.

Of course, I could always use some tips from an expert.

[frostythehitman]

tips on what part exactly

[covenantal]

Punk songwriting. I'm interested in exploring it. I could really use some insight from a musician and vocalist who's experienced with it. Then, if I write a few songs, it would be great if you could work with me to sing them.

[frostythehitman]

the secret of punk is it's all about your feelings
the lyrics are just as emotional as any other type of music out there except you just put it over some sick guitars to make it less obvious
if you want to write punk lyrics you have to get in touch with your emotions

1/2

[covenantal]

[ shit. he's terrible at feelings. ]

[covenantal]

That sort of thing doesn't come easily to me... but I'll do my best.

So what do you say? Would you like to be my vocalist?

[frostythehitman]

yeah okay
why not
