Trocky Trock Shirt

That’s what I’ve been doing lately :D

I wrote two new songs – the first that I mentioned in the last entry, called The Doctor Is Dying, and a new one called Everything Is Ending which is a duet between the Doctor and Amy … from THAT scene :)

I’m sure you’ll hear one of these at some point, probably after my next Twilight video, which I need to make to keep the mob at bay.

I also have Sons Of Admirals news – there’s a limited edition Sons Of Admirals t-shirt available between now and August 16th! I absolutely love the design, so you should definitely check that out :D Clicky!

    I am really excited about the t-shirt, the design is amazing! I can't wait to hear your new Trock songs once there recorded :D Do you have any plans to do further gigs with Sons of Admirals outside of London as I live in Cardiff and getting up to London will be a bit of a struggle. xxx

    You talking about Doctor Who is so weird. In a good way, of course. You seem to cool (what?) for it somehow. But I suppose The Doctor is pretty cool.
    The shirt is very pretty. I can't wait for the new Trock songs.

    that t-shirt is really cool. :) i may just get one!!

    are you and the guys planning anymore Sons Of Admirals related music thingys and what not?

  • M :)

    Will the t-shirt (or anything else) be available at the SOA London gig? x

  • Mortadelle

    Ahhhhh that shirt is the cooolest ever!

    Unrelated: your CD creeped up on me. First, it took ages to get here (got the physical and Canada Post was on vacation, I dunno), and then, I didn't have time to listen to it – so I put it in my car. I must be honest, I was really disapointed I didn't like it (I loved Parrot Stories right away and still love it). But, like you, I know it doesn't mean it won't become my favourite CD. So after a week or two driving it around, first thing I knew, I was taking the cd in the house, in the car, at work, in the house, in the car… I even wake up at night and clearly hear the songs in my head – even the ones I don't know by heart! (that's real weird)
    Creeped up on me, I tell you.
    My favourite musical line so far: the chord change introducing the “And I'm not gonna lose you” bit (and that bit). And I admit, the “falling in love again gain gain gain” bit is really neat :D
    Anyway, I love the whole album, so… ;)

    was I the only one who thought, based on the title, it was going to be a trock shirt? SOA is really cool and the shirt is great! but there should totally be a trock shirt, maybe if/when the new trock cd comes out, or right before it comes out, to get people pysched up!

    Also, assuming your tweet about taylor swift was serious, have you ever heard of Brad Paisley? Maybe it's a little too country for you, but just looking at his songs from a lyrical standpoint, I love his stuff. Some of his sonngs are moe country than others, but 364 days to go, Then, the World, and many more are great.

    Yeah, when I first saw that design I thought it was pretty awesome. I think it'd make an excellent sticker design (I know color stickers are quite expensive, but I think this design would be perfect for one).

    Any chances of a gig near the Isle of Wight? Because I can't make it to London then as I am camping. Please?

  • Mortadelle

    Yeah, assuming the tweet was serious… I'm amazed at how I can love an artist's work and yet dislike so much what the artist likes… I mean, if a musician I love is influenced by music I don't like, it's weird, isn't it?
    I hate country music, I can't stand it. And to me, Fearless is just another forgettable rhythmless bland chick's softie song.
    Of course, this is my personal opinion. Obviously not shared by a LOT of ppl. Which is okay.

  • Alice

    Yey for SOA t-shirt. I was really upset when I couldn't afford the Harry Moon t-shirt but I will definitely be getting this one :-)

  • http://twitter.com/Enderneo Rick

    Definitely buying a shirt.

  • Anya

    I love how the songs both have….alliteration…

  • itsabbiee

    wow. the tshirt is AWESOME <3 deffinatly going to buy it
    also, cant wait to here the trock songs :D

  • purplegirl117

    Just ordered the SOA shirt! It looks really awesome! :D

    I love the design of the SoA t-shirt. Looks like finger puppets. hmmm. product idea? SoA Finger Puppets.

  • :)

    that t-shirt's just too good to be true :O

  • http://twitter.com/EllexBelles Ellie Butler

    I ordered my shirt today :D Well my ex boyfriend did as a birthday present – Which is on the 14th August and I cant go to your gig :( Pisstake tbh but yeh, Next time hopefully :) x

    TROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yayness! ^_^
    and your Twilight vids are hilarious! i would file them under “Classic Nerimon.” <– creeper disclaimer: i don't have a collection of your videos, nor do i have a classification system for them.
    unfortunately, i can not buy one more shirt. because there is not enough space in my closet. (i collect shirts) #gettingoutofhand #shamelessaddict #closetandacupboard #aah!i'musinghashtagsagain!

  • http://coolhandjohnny.blogspot.com/ Chelsea

    i know you! yay! :)

  • JMdP

    That is an extremely rad t-shirt design. I like what the fellow below said about finger puppets, that'd be very cute. Also, if there does happen to be a Chameleon Circuit t-shirt on the way, it should probably involve a fez. Because fezzes are cool.

  • JMdP

    Yes yes thrice yes.

  • ShortPerson

    If you make another Twilight video, wouldn't that be considered complaining about the book? Switchy the wrist thing :P

  • Zoe

    I saw the name of this blog pop up on my iGoogle page and got confused for a second because some of my friends used to call me Trocky but then I remembered what you were talking about and everything was lovely and happy again; very excited about new Trock songs =]

    soo alex… you wanna go see the new movie vampires suck with me when it comes out??:) look it up, its great:)

  • purplegirl117

    Hey, I know you too! What a coincidence! :D

  • http://www.musingsofanundiscoveredgenius.blogspot.com Eleanor Roscuro

    Nice t-shirt! And I've just purchased 177% Complete, and have been listening to it on repeat for days! Will you ever come to Ireland? Pretty please?

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    yeah, I respect that =) I just like any song that has lyrics that speak to me, like Alex's do. means I like a little bit of every genre. The three I don't particuarly like are Classical, Opera, and Rap. Rap is the only one I can't stand! the other two are fine, I can listen to them, they just don't do anything for me. mainly because they don't have lyrics I can relate to.

  • Narcissa Malfoy

    seriously, the mob just ran by my house. they look outraged. hurry alex, my boy! for the love of god, hurry! naaah, i want to listen to that trock song.

  • Sanna

    YAY new songs! o/
    Anyone else who imagined Eddplant and Alex with yellow and green hair?

  • Mortadelle

    It's funny in a way cause Rap has a LOT of lyrics hahaha But I'm with you on Rap. To me, it's a genre that just contaminates : why oh why does a not-Rap artist feel they have to suddenly put some Rap in their songs – what, to appeal to a different audience? If Alex ever does that, I'll… I'll… I'll skip the song, that's what I'll do. (notice how I didn't say I wouldn't buy the album LOL).

  • http://www.tumblr.com/tumblelog/starrideremily Emily

    Yeah, randomly shouting hate and/or adding rap in the middle of a song really bugs me. It def. takes away from the song. But heck, I buy other people's albums despite that, I'd certainly buy Alex's, if (please don't!) he ever decided to try that.

  • fangirl

    I want one!

  • Lydia

    I really loved the idea of an 11th/Amy kind of thing, but they threw in Rory and it kind of ticked me off, but….. yeah. I can't wait to hear your song. ^_^

    And AHHH! I WANT THAT T-SHIRT! I barely had enough money to buy your CD though, so I wonder how I could possibly make this happen…… XD

    And I feel as though I've seen that design somewhere before….. did a fan draw it?

  • Vondell

    yes! I did.

  • AlexDayObsessed

    Yes! Either come to Clare or to Limerick pleeeeeeez! And the mob has crossed the Irish Sea and have all started wearing your Edward Cullen T-shirt. :P

  • Bethan

    I'm in the exact same position! I love Cardiff but it's no London..

  • Tilly_xP

    I Really Love the SoA shirt So My Mum is buying it me with my leftover clothing allowence… :D YAY!!!

    Yay! New songs XD And a new videooo!! :D

  • DeniseSaysHiAlex

    Love the shirt and the fact that you'll make another twilight video :D

    I'm new here, and I know you probably get this a lot but; You are my IDOL! My goal in life is to meet you someday! :D

    I sound so pathetic xP Sorry..

  • Lily

    That is SUCH a good idea for a Trock song. Wherever did you come up with it? :

  • Cathyrox7

  • Stephanie

  • Apple

    You linked my video. In your blog. I am very happy right now :D

    Also, the t-shirt looks great! And more Trock! Yay!

  • Sarah

    I just ordered my t-shirt today :D An excellent initiation into purchasing things online, methinks.

  • Lydia

    Awesome! I love it! :D

  • Hanna

    ALEX!!!!
    I was so excited when I saw the title. I fully expected for you to tell us about an awesome trock shirt that you had designed…. what a disappointment.
    I do love SOA, but trock is just amazing. Please keep writing the songs, and I can't wait until CC releases another album. x

  • Julia

    I thinks it's hilarious that you have a salivating mob of fans chasing you for your next Twilight video. What does that remind you of?

    You've been infected. Over-exposure to those sparkly fiends.

    By the way, can't wait to hear some brand new Trock. :D

  • Ava loves Alex

    I ordered the shirt and I'm so excite for it to come! does anyone know when it'll come? it says early September but it also said that about his album and I already have that in my possesion. love ya alex :)

  • Meggymoo

    god i love these blogs!! they always bring a giggle to my lips! love u alex! x

  • Katy

    Holy-… that t-shirt is awesome. Just, pure awesome.
    Looking forward to some Chameleon Circuit t-shirts =D

    And the song, will be interesting to listen to the one about THAT scene… My friend said she thought the Doctor was going to get laid oO that probably happened after in the TARDIS XD

  • ellie mae
