lesson learned, don't ever let Candyaudioline and Soft Pillow Kisses share the same practice sched and area... specially when you're trying to get serious results out of it...
i thought it was going to be quite managable but last Wednesday's practice session was a bit confusing and really tiring... the practice was pegged at around 10pm and since it was candy who was almost complete save for Elaine who was very busy downloading stuff from the net, candy went first... i forgot that Maggot was the one playing bass so instead of just going thru the songs, we had to help her remember some songs and teach her a new one... Elaine came in with just 2 songs on my imaginary Candy 1st Set list before Pillow was to use the next few minutes or so... when Pillow started, Apple was still nowhere in sight so i tried to make use of the time to juice Ralph of any more songs he could've studied but according to him, he was to busy to study some more songs... so we just reviewed all the songs he knew... Apple arrived 5 songs down and just like Elaine, she only got to practice 2 songs during the first Pillow Practice set... we all went outside to take a breather and as usual, Candy was leading the way in the alaskahan dept... with Maggot being the honorary victim and seeing how Elaine was a bit amazed at how Maggot was dancing and at the same time taking everything being hurled at her by Dennis and co. as for the Pillow side of the fence, well, they were being quite well behaved, even Rene was quiet...
after the very long break, Candy went back practicing but by this time, i was feeling quite exhausted mainly due to laughing at Maggot and Elaine's crazy antics... just went thru a few songs and called in my Pillow mates for the resumption of the 2nd Pillow half... have to commend Ralph again for doing such a great job of trying to learn another song in a span of 30 minutes... after about 4 song, i begged time out coz by this time my back was really killing me... i came back for 3 more songs and decided to end the pillow session... i was so tired that i didn't push with the third Candy part...
anyways... it was quite fun and i'm very glad that both bands don't have to share the same members everytime... i also noticed that both bands carry with it the right members... the rawdy one's belong to Candy while the well behaved bunch sits comfortably with Pillow...
Sadly for Candy, we're just a month away from losing a singer...
