The rain lashed off the window. It was such a dreary day. No one was about in the streets. The sporadic cars passed; the odd pedestrians voice heard are corners.
Turning from the window, I could smell the strong odour that the hairspray gives off. Witnessed a hairdresser cutting my wife's hair. She was the only customer and I was the only person sitting on the seats, waiting for her. Every now and again she'd glance and me and make a smile gesture. I'd do the same.
Sitting there, I thought about what my life would be like if I lost her. You know, through stupid things or through bigger things, and made me think about how lucky I am to be with her.
So I took my phone out as I sat in the hairdressers and began writing. Just naturally wrote about what I would feel if I lost her, due to any number of reasons. Made me feel sad. I don't think the weather was helping the mood much either. But it made me write a set of honest lyrics, touching on an area I'd had never written about before.
Retrospect
In retrospect,
I wish it hadn't ended the way it had,
Full of vehement, vexed and vocal,
The regret I bare, so great, so sad,
Oh happiness gone away,
In retrospect,
In retrospect,
I bit the hand that feeds,
Walked over broken memories,
Burned the bridges to your heart and soul,
Disseminated your beliefs,
I don't even know, where to start
Or where it ended,
As the rain pours down, the window,
Each droplet reminds each minute together,
Because you were my life.
Written in 2010 in a
hairdressers.
I had quickly, and had recently written the guitar riff for the song. It has a little hearted, blues style riff to begin with but then goes into a gentle plucking piece that gets quite emotional. I enjoy playing the song, and performed it for the first time live at the Victoria Bar gig, 2011. To me it is quite a plain song, but good for that reason. The way it should be.

Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 2), Troubleshooting and Sexploitation
Fuck, I haven't written anything on here in ages. So here we go again. I shall begin by starting from weeks ago. I have been writing and recording at times, and each time it has been - in my opinion, a success. When I sit to write lyrics, they come pouring out. No writer's block. When I sit with the guitar, I managed to come up with a song there and then. This did not happen properly for a long time. And when I sit down at the computer, plug in all the wires, etc, songs get finished on the same day. It is March, coming into April, and even though not all are completely finished at present, I have about 13 songs. In 3 months. That's good going. And I don't even regard the songs as shit. I genuinely think the lyrics, guitar riffs, and finished recordings are great. The only issue I have is with some sets of vocals, but apart from that, I'm delighted at my swift progress at writing and recording Anonymous. So I shall begin by talking about specifics.
One day I started writing a tune in the livingroom (not intentional rhyming). It was quite a cool wee rock riff, and considered what to do with it. I had some lyrics and originally tried to put some lyrics about google to it; but to no avail. I had another set of lyrics I had written on my bus journeys: 'Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 2)'. At first I didn't think it'd work, but then the more I heard the song I realised that the beat of the guitar riffs were similar, even though the riffs were not. So recorded a terrible version on blackberry to remind me of how it sounded. Next day, sat down, wired everything up, and began recording. I managed to record the guitar, made couple of drum samples cut up, some clean bass, a cool Radiohead-esque sounding solo, and some vocals which worked out ok. The song is still a work-in-progress, even though it does sound good the way it is. Needs more and I know it.
Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 2)
I'll voice my opinion
Let them have it
Freedom of speech
My views are central
Anonymity is bliss
No sin can come of this,
It's my beliefs, and it's my call,
It's up to you, if you want to feed the troll
Direct and to the point,
I'll type what I want, no matter what,
It's not up to you, or anyone else
To shut me up, or shut me down,
Written 16/3/11
The song is looking from the other side of the fence re trolling. The idea that people should have the right to say what they please.
So days passed. I still haven't put the newer songs up on youtube and soundcloud because I have promised my wife I won't upload anything (due to internet limit), as she needs the net. So time passed, and then I sat on the computer only yesterday, 26th of March. I considered what to do. I had no new riffs, some sets of new lyrics I really wanted to work on: Sexploitation, The Slave Master and Trouibleshooting.
I began by recording an old song I have called 'Twentieth Century Soldier of Fortune' which was about Che Guevara. However I wanted to use it now, as it was a cool rock song. I recorded most of it, but it just wasn't working. So I stopped that. Then I came up with a new riff as I was recording, when trying to remember exactly how 'Twentieth Century Soldier of Fortune' had gone. I recorded a version of this on it's own, just guitar. It is a lovely riff. Reminds me of Nirvana or something. So I put the lyrics of Troubleshooting behind this. The song is about the discontent in Egypt and other Arab countries, about the Governments stopping their freedom of communications such as with the internet.
Troubleshooting
The fires blaze
The rioters run
The corrupt protocol
The dictators done
Prohibit freedom
We will not be moved
Try and crush us
A circle of strength
Troubleshooting
And tear gas,
Sync a bitter nation
to the device
Infiltrated safe mode
and have the last laugh,
Buy new software,
that's my advice
Shut the system down,
democracy at last
Written end of March 2011
I liked the tune and melody, but knew I could get it better. So recorded a new one to drums, put bass and some lead and that's it. I finished it quite quickly. It sounds good; however it doesn't quite fit on Anonymous right now, so gona re-record another version too. I'll still put the first version up for people to hear.
So after that I was at a bit of a dead end. I was starting to feel a little uninspired. Like I just couldn't be bothered. However, I had left the fx pedal on number '32' and had messed about with the settings for vocals. However the effect sounded cool, and though it would sound cool with bass. I had also attempted a recording earlier that day with some bass and drums, but it didn't work. So I used that bass riff with that effect.
I made up a drum beat using different samples, cut it up into an erratic jungle style beat. I then recorded the bass in one go. Sounded great. I then added some vocals, cut them up and put them all over the place. I then edited out silences, and other parts. I then added in some dubstep samples, which I cut up and edited. And then at the end I added a guitar solo (two different guitars). Clearly I go over this quickly, but it took at least 2 hours to get it all done. I added the lyrics of 'Sexploitation' to it, which I think suits the sound really well. It is about pornography on the net, and how it distorts peoples views of how sex is. It is also about the industry and how these people are made to look that way they are, and put themselves all over the world for anyone to see.
Sexploitation
As you were at birth; now virtue lost,
An 'actress', an 'actor' in a hollow box,
Dark romance with a stranger, dirty private thoughts,
Once beautiful, born with natural features
Now considered sinner, slut and filthy creature,
Hangs a plastic name tag from mangled bleached hair,
Under an alias, all fake and moans,
Some anonymous, just meat, skin and bones,
It's a song that lacks any intimate tones,
An industry that creates unrealistic expectations,
Mass produce the dolls on a conveyor belt of sexploitation,
Even god couldn't have foreseen these unnatural creations,
Insert the batteries and watch them do their tricks,
Makes young woman aspire to have the perfect bits,
Makes young men think this is how the real world is,
Fulfilling fantasies, fuelling flames of desire,
The real worlds not like this, this will eventually transpire,
Written the 23/3/11
And that's it up to this point. Got songs to finish; new ones I want to make; and loads of new music. Things are going well musically. I'm in a happy place.

Honey-trap, Plum_boy03 and Video Nasty
Everytime I'm sitting down to the computer, on days off, I'm getting tones done. I again, had another Saturday to use, and use it I did. I started very early and continued continously to mid afternoon. I got so many things finished and near finished. Here goes:
I began by recording music because it was so early that I didn't want to bother the neighbours with singing. I was dying to finish Honey-trap, because the music is sounding so shit hot. So I began working on a tune I had written the day before. It is a cool rock riff, with a few different wee sections to it. I recorded it initially on my blackberry, then looked at lyrics I had, matched them up, wrote them down, and recorded the guitar and vocals together. So that day I began recording. It actually just came together so easily. There are maybe four separate guitar parts, a bass riff, had to get some drums together for it. Added more in as the song came together; took some out. Edited, copied, cut, pasted, edited, etc. By the end, and only a few hours from starting I had the song essentially recorded. All I needed was the vocals. There were no reall big issues with the song. No great obstacles. Just naturally came together. The song is called Plum_boy03, which is about internet chatrooms, and those envirnoments and the people who use them. Plum_boy03 is me; this was my internet chat room name way back when chatrooms were the new rage. I question myself in the song.
Plum_Boy03
Walking into a dark room
full of strangers,
Watching each converse,
Their names surround a faceless persona,
Lost in translation
amongst fibre-optic jargon,
Pink, green, and yellow, illuminous as it scrolls across the screen
An alter ego,
The perfect environment,
No imperfections,
Ignornance is bliss,
Until her anonymous nature
surrounds you,
And you don't know who that bimbogirl is
So plumboy
03
What's going on
in that little head of yours?
Why do you have to rely on
the virtual world so much?
Were you ignorant?
Where you make
The worst enemies
So plumboy
03
What's going on?
Written whilst on buses from Jan 2011. Complete March 2011
So I had to wait until I could record the vocals. So I began work on a brand new version of 'The Blood that Runs through the Wire Transfer'. I want to rock up the ending. I recorded the tune to a beat, added guitar, keyboard effects, and other stuff. By this point I could record vocals (as I could hear the neighbour hoovering!). So I abandoned this and went to record Honey-trap.
So I recorded these vocals, and at the time I was very much aware of the neighbours hearing me so I didn't record very good vocals. Also the vocals are very hissy. This is a problem I have been having more the last few times. The vocals are consistently having a hissing behind them. It is annoying me. I think I know how to change that from now on, but a part of that is that I am not singing loud enough into the mic. Which is largely due to me not wanting to bother neighbours. It's annoying as fuck. Anyway. So in retrospect at listening to the song on my ipod, I don't think the vocals are good at all with the song; or should I say the recording of the vocals.
So I then moved onto the vocals for Plum_boy03. I thought 'fuck it!' and decided to record the vocals loudly after several dud attempts. I stood up for it, to a) be further away from the floor and b) to give some fucking welly. So I sang, not as loudly as I still would like to have, but I sang better and louder than usual. I fucked up the chorus so had to edit it and cut it up a little. But it all worked out well in the end. I am happy with these vocals. I always think the vocals could be better but I'm happy at present with them.
So I still had a few hours left, and nothing new apart from lyrics. As I twiddled my thumbs thinking, it just came to me. Why don't I use the old 'Psychopathamatics' riff, make it new and shiny, and put some new lyrics to it! It was always a cool and simple rock tune. So that's what I did. I recorded the first guitar. Clean rock tone. Then a distorted one. Going simple enough. And that's how it continued. Had put it to a fucked up cut up dance beat. Put bass, another guitar riff, and though about the vocals. Clearly I didn't want to shout anymore incase the neighbours called the police, thinking I was being tortured. Or just cause I was being a loud shite. So, thinking of how psychopath was sung, it was a low, deep tone. Almost spoken. So that's what I did. Recorded a distorted vocal, and then a clean one to compliment it. I edited them, cut them up, and then tried to find some kind of rock drum beat to put in. Nothing...nothing...nothing, then boobam! One beat, fit perfectly! And it sounded shit hot. Made the song really come alive. So added it, edited it, and it makes this tune sound amazing. The vocals were sung to a set of lyrics I have called 'Video Nasty', the first set of lyrics I wrote for 'Anonymous', about youtube, and video sites in general and how anyone can access anything.
Video Nasty
The tube killed the T.V star,
Pixelated, inebreated, mr nobody,
The search bar: type dirt, filth, adult themes,
Accessable to all, and your children
Enter the world of the video nasty (carry on nasty into next line but with delays and jerks in vocals),
Tasteless, vile and pointless,
The monotony of the random,
A million viewings boo bam, of what?
An endless selection of nothing,
Reality can be so disgusting,
Enter the world of the video nasty,
Tasteless, vile and pointless,
Vast amount of disturbing material,
The next generations eyes wonder over,
As their parents read their papers
They learn to make bombs, and die
Written in Jan 2011, edited since. Complete March 2011.
I am actually very very happy with both new songs and they add a whole new dimension to the songs I have. Plum_boy03 sounds like a proper rock song by a band; and Video Nasty is a short but full and deep dark rock song. The only thing that annoys me about the recording session is that I still haven't complete Honey-trap which sounds amazing. So next time, Honey-trap will get finished once and for all.

Operation Payback gets '5 stars' on youtube
Just checked my youtube account at wullaewrightmusic, and found out that not only have the viewings of the three new songs: Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1), Operation Feedback and The Search have been good, but also the song Operation Payback has been rated 5 stars by some lovely person out there. Thank you lovely person. Much appreciated.

Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1), The Search, Operation Payback and Honey-trap
I have no idea where to begin. I have done so much in such a little space of time, it's actually quite scary. I have actually surprised myself with how much I have actually done.
I suppose best place to start is back on the 5th of March 2011. Before this date I had began work on different recordings. I had started a recording of Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1), a new version. Musically it sounds far far better than the original lost when I got the third virus. I also started recording another new song which is the same bass riff for 'Blue Funk'. I had originally wanted the bass riff used for a rock song, so I thought I'd just do it. Turns out that this recording is a fucking beast. Great sounding rock tune. I started recording this song on the 5th. I also added to a weird mix of noises and out-takes from a project I am doing with my friend Geo. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to use the tune cause it was so messed up, but I tried it with a tune I wanted to rerecord. The tune used to be 'Liberation', an old song about leaders of the world. However I put lyrics to it I had written, influenced when listening to 'Codex' by Radiohead. The song entitled 'The Search' is about searching for people online that you miss, and would like to show appreciation to for just being in your life at a point when u needed them, but not being able to find them.
The Search
There are so many people I have abandoned,
So many faces I have lost,
I feel a quiet saddness,
Inside my thoughts,
I'd like to speak to you one last time,
To say goodbye, the way I should have,
To have one last moment, Ending on a peaceful silence,
Indistinguishable faces flicker past,
All the names their all the same,
And amongst the smiles and cuddles,
I don't see you, none of them are you,
You are that needle in a haystack,
And I can't find you, no I can't find you,
There is an emptiness,
I will continue to search for you
Written in February 2011 on the bus going to work listening to 'Codex' by Radiohead on 'The King of Limbs'
The tune that was/is 'Blue Funk' I coupled up with the lyrics entitled 'Operation Payback', a song about about denial of service attacks made by group anonymous on visa, mastercard and paypal and postfinance websites due to freezing accounts of julian assenge. And how fbi are putting out 40 search warrants for members of anonymous.
Operation Payback
Sneak in the backdoor,
Denial of service,
They wish to cripple those whom, you serve,
Pull the plug,
That plagues your conscious,
Actions of the weak,
The power is switched off,
Operation Payback,
Shots from the backrow,
Collective underground bunker,
Operation Payback,
V Territory in their hands,
State attempts a system restore,
Error, error, error,
Hello e-crime unit,
The renegade youth of cyberspace,
FBI, FYI, are on your backs,
They round them up,
Lock them behind a firewall,
Empty the recycle bin
Written in February of 2011
I managed to get vocal recordigs of all three songs, and I must admit, they are not the best quality. The chorus in 'Operation Feedback' sounds cool; the vocals in 'The Search' are good but there is a lot of hissing behind them. The hissing is a problem with all of the vocals. I am not hugely happy with the Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1) lyrics. So I may rerecord them. However all finished versions are up on youtube at wullaewrightmusic.
So on Sunday 6th of March 2011, I sat in the livingroom listening to the new songs on my ipod and enjoying them. My wife studied next door, so I picked up my electric guitar and played away. I came up with a funky sounding song, but sounded more something I'd put on 'Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey'. So I kept playing away, and came up with a great new tune. I recorded it on my Blackberry. Then I added vocals using lyrics entitled 'Honey-trap' about Julien Assange and American and Sweden using anything to capture him. I then got the opportunity to use the computer, and with an hour or so, I managed to recorded two guitars, bass and put drum together. In an hour I managed to record an excellent sounding song; in half a day I had managed to not only record most of the song (oh and a guitar solo too), but write the music that day, and have lyrics for it. The only thing I haven't done to the song yet is add vocals. I will use a day I have, when free, to record vocals for this, and maybe for all three new songs again. I'll see. But some good good musical progress over the last few days. I'm very very happy. I want to do more. The Anonymous album is becoming a rock album, which was partly my intention, but I didn't think it'd actually work out like that. Good times indeed.

I suppose best place to start is back on the 5th of March 2011. Before this date I had began work on different recordings. I had started a recording of Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1), a new version. Musically it sounds far far better than the original lost when I got the third virus. I also started recording another new song which is the same bass riff for 'Blue Funk'. I had originally wanted the bass riff used for a rock song, so I thought I'd just do it. Turns out that this recording is a fucking beast. Great sounding rock tune. I started recording this song on the 5th. I also added to a weird mix of noises and out-takes from a project I am doing with my friend Geo. I honestly didn't think I'd be able to use the tune cause it was so messed up, but I tried it with a tune I wanted to rerecord. The tune used to be 'Liberation', an old song about leaders of the world. However I put lyrics to it I had written, influenced when listening to 'Codex' by Radiohead. The song entitled 'The Search' is about searching for people online that you miss, and would like to show appreciation to for just being in your life at a point when u needed them, but not being able to find them.
The Search
There are so many people I have abandoned,
So many faces I have lost,
I feel a quiet saddness,
Inside my thoughts,
I'd like to speak to you one last time,
To say goodbye, the way I should have,
To have one last moment, Ending on a peaceful silence,
Indistinguishable faces flicker past,
All the names their all the same,
And amongst the smiles and cuddles,
I don't see you, none of them are you,
You are that needle in a haystack,
And I can't find you, no I can't find you,
There is an emptiness,
I will continue to search for you

The tune that was/is 'Blue Funk' I coupled up with the lyrics entitled 'Operation Payback', a song about about denial of service attacks made by group anonymous on visa, mastercard and paypal and postfinance websites due to freezing accounts of julian assenge. And how fbi are putting out 40 search warrants for members of anonymous.
Operation Payback
Sneak in the backdoor,
Denial of service,
They wish to cripple those whom, you serve,
Pull the plug,
That plagues your conscious,
Actions of the weak,
The power is switched off,
Operation Payback,
Shots from the backrow,
Collective underground bunker,
Operation Payback,
V Territory in their hands,
State attempts a system restore,
Error, error, error,
Hello e-crime unit,
The renegade youth of cyberspace,
FBI, FYI, are on your backs,
They round them up,
Lock them behind a firewall,
Empty the recycle bin

I managed to get vocal recordigs of all three songs, and I must admit, they are not the best quality. The chorus in 'Operation Feedback' sounds cool; the vocals in 'The Search' are good but there is a lot of hissing behind them. The hissing is a problem with all of the vocals. I am not hugely happy with the Don't Feed the Troll (Pt. 1) lyrics. So I may rerecord them. However all finished versions are up on youtube at wullaewrightmusic.
So on Sunday 6th of March 2011, I sat in the livingroom listening to the new songs on my ipod and enjoying them. My wife studied next door, so I picked up my electric guitar and played away. I came up with a funky sounding song, but sounded more something I'd put on 'Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey'. So I kept playing away, and came up with a great new tune. I recorded it on my Blackberry. Then I added vocals using lyrics entitled 'Honey-trap' about Julien Assange and American and Sweden using anything to capture him.
