Meet Alex Day

I got The Oceanic Six’s CD this morning and it’s SO GOOD. People should definitely buy it. Now. Go. Buy it. BUY IT <3

So I did an interview with this girl from Seattle called Katie and you can read it by clicking here. Here’s a choice excerpt to get you excited:

Q: You’re just 20 years old. What is a typical day in a life for Alex Day?

A: Every night I set my alarm for around 7:30 and every morning I find myself unable to get up till about 9, silently cursing myself for sleeping in yet again. I’ll debate getting food, but end up reading Lost on-set reports and Dollhouse speculation forums for a couple hours. If it’s been a few days since my last YouTube video, I’ll start thinking of what one I wanna do next, which would require either psyching myself up to get through another godawful chapter of Stephanie Meyer fiction or putting some other plan in place (I have a folder with draft video ideas waiting to be filmed). And at some point I’ll pick up my guitar and warble my way through a cover of Paparazzi by Lady GaGa (which I’m sure thrills the neighbours more and more every time they hear it). I don’t have a job, I should point out, because there are enough kind people buying my album that I can literally just fill up the time, day after day, until the sweet release of death.

Once again, link is right here to read the rest. =D

I came up with a really cool idea for my music, which I’ve run by Alan, and am waiting for him to run by Hank to see if we can actually do it or not. But it’ll be REALLY COOL if we can. ^_^

Hearts video hasn’t got any further, cos it poured down with rain on Saturday, so we’ll be filming again in a couple weeks. Gah. I feel bad for all the people I’m dragging out of their homes to stand about with me in the cold. I might give them all copies of Parrot Stories as thanks. xD

    tell me when, i'll buy a trainticket/flightticket and come to london to watch you (and kidnap you and take you to las vegas where i will force you to marry me! :D ) or just wait until march, i'll be there then for a week <3

  • Jamie! (:

    You do realize now that you've said it, I will be expecting your next Twilight video and bugging you about it via these comments until it is up.
    Just kidding. (:

  • Naomi Fox

    And i would love you forever if you gave me a copy of parrot stories, it would make the week of walking to college in the snow worth it =]
    Naomi x

  • Gem

    please psych yourself up to get through another “godaweful” chapter of twlight! your videos are wellll funny :D

    and what if they already have a copy of parrot stories? like i do (;

    xx

  • TheLunarFire

    The Twilight videos are funny, true, but I think even just a regular Vlog would be cool. Nothing special necessary.

    Can you let us know the next time you plan to do more filming for Hearts? I was gutted to hear (by Benjamin Cook's Twitter, I might add) that I missed it last Saturday. I'd love to help out again, like on that first Saturday. It was fun. :)

    Also, good luck with reading more Twilight. You are braver than anyone else I've ever met.
    And The Oceanic Six = WIN.

  • CathyKitCat

    haha yes it was a tad cold on saturday, but hey there was a ukulele to tune and that seemed to amuse everyone, third times the charm :)
    I cant stand Twilight but please force yourself to read it because the videos are great x

  • Fran

    there was another hearts filming? I MISSED IT!?!?!?
    :'(
    i want to cry.
    Alex, BLOODY TELL US WHEN YOU ARE FILMING SO WE CAN COMEEEEE! :) x

  • JamesPeterBailey

    Uhh…. Alex, you just told everyone you live in Hornchurch. Which actually isn't too far from me. (you go down the M25 and your there :D)

  • http://www.youtube.com/itsamemyleo Myles

    Hey Alex! Your typical day actually sounds pretty cool.:)
    Oh yeah, I was just wondering if you were ever gonna do a gig in Essex?

    I got the Oceanic Six’s CD this morning too. I’ve been watching lost since it started and I’m looking forward to the final series.

    There seems to be a craze at the moment of posting Lady GaGa covers on YouTube. You should post yours xD. Love the new YouTube video by the way. I’ve got a friend who uses to work at an Apple Store and he’s got some crazy stories about his time there.

  • magicmarkers

    be cheeky and asked for a signed one ;P

  • magicmarkers

    I think there was just the one, the one he did in London that was announced in the 'calling all fangirls' video? As far as I know…

  • magicmarkers

    Really great interview, very ineteresting, very candid (: I envy your life.
    One question though, do you expect to be touring the UK? So far you've only done gigs in London, which is pretty far for use northeners to go, especially with trains being pretty expensive nowadays. I'm sure you'd get a great audience if you came to Chester or even Manchester. We'll give you cookies and hugs <3 In fact, it'd be unbeliveably fantastic if the UK-based DFTBA artists in general did more gigs outside of London, I knwo a lot of people feel left out because you only seem to do London or the US! (and by this I do mean: bring us Tom Milsom or we'll burn Hornchurch ;P)

    Also, I got a mental image of you singing 'paparazzi' in a bumblebee costume. Please, make this a reality and upload it! :D

  • itiselizabeth

    A day like that sounds like a great sort of day. We all know that's just the ones when you don't spend time with your amazing friends! ;)

  • http://youtube.com/londoniphone Lee

    I hate it when I leave a comment and then realise there’s a spelling mistake but what I hate even more is when someone posts a second comment correcting their own spelling :P

  • Fran

    Yeah i went to that one :)
    I hope that there are so more cos i'd love to see him again :) x

  • HeliWithTheUkulele

    My ukulele :) lovely that you all watched me tune my ukeee :)

  • HeliWithTheUkulele

    you're right, you should give us a copy of Parrot Stories for standing with you in the rain/cold for three hours while we walked everywhere. TWO WEEKENDS IN A ROW.
    so yeah, feel free to give us copies :)
    It was very fun though xx

  • http://shellzconlon.livejournal.com Meeshellz(Michelle)

    Like many others now, I will also be patiently awaiting your next Twilight video. They really do make my day. :)

  • Fran

    is there going to be another one this weekend coming up then? the 23rd?

  • http://www.youtube.com/MrBankDog Jessie

    It's raining buckets here too. I'm jealous of all the girls in the Hearts music video. Blargh… I can't wait to see you at VidCon, and I'm going to read the interview now. Much love, Jessie.

  • Ellaa

    pfft, i totally agree i've never met.

  • http://twitter.com/BBC_Fangirl Laura Blakemore

    I'm not sure.
    As I said, I read Benjamin Cook's twitter, and last Saturday (16th January) he said he was with Alex and Charlie filming, although I assume this is what Alex was refering to when he said “it poured down with rain on Saturday” up there in his blog. The “Calling All Fangirls” video was for the 9th January.

    *shrugs*

  • http://www.itsyowyow.com/ Katie

    Thanks for doing the interview w/ me Alex! People are LOVING it. :D By far the most entertaining interview I've done so far.

  • Catherine

    The interview sounds awesome I shall go and read it.

  • Bri :D

    Will you come to upstate NY? Rochester or Buffalo would be preferable. It would make my life. If not i'll just follow you O_O i'm a creeper. (not really) I am a bit tired of driving down to nyc (it takes for ever) when i want to have fun.

    You can just skip the west coast of the US because they get to have vidcon and it's not fair. : (( and they just got hank's tour too. east coast ftw. west coast french the llama

  • My_Name_Is_Lucy

    That was a lovely interview alex!
    But was that seriously a picture of you standing in the TARDIS?!
    If so….

    JEALOUSY LEVELS, OVER 100000000000000000×10^34%
    Seriously.

  • http://alexdaymusic.com Alex

    I'm always telling people I live in Hornchurch. People always say 'what? Someone will find you!' but nobody ever actually does.

  • Gem

    i already have the cd, its just not signed :'(

    *hint hint alex!* :)

  • Luke

    WOW! I just read the interview, I live in Hornchurch too! :D I'm surprised I've never seen you. I live near Oh My Cod and Langtons school lol!

  • charli

    you guys r the highlight of my weekend :P
    but it would be sooo amazing if you gave us parrot stories. i listen to it alll the time on ur website!
    it gets me through my homework!
    ly <3

  • JamesPeterBailey

    well then Mr Day, I take that as a challenge… I WILL FIND YOU! *cough* Not a Stalker *cough*

  • http://youtube.com/londoniphone Lee

    You should get some badges like Charlie just in case :p

  • Taylor

    Hi :D
    Are you planning to play anywhere else in the U.S besides NY and LA? Cause there's plenty of other fans *cough*(me) in other places that can't quite make it to those places to watch you play.

  • Katherine

    I'm coming to find you.

  • justthegirlinblack

    Just when I thought you couldn't get any cooler, you go and make a Dollhouse reference.

    I think that you should be my best friend. None of my friends like Dollhouse and I have no one to talk to about the craziness of this show! So, I have to contain all of my nerdy Whedon glee. Sigh.

    Anyway, I'm sure no one minds being dragged out in the cold! I would gladly go myself, but there's an unfortunate ocean in the way.

    -Steph

    Ps- Just got my copy of Parrot Stories, and it's spectacular! I'm forcing it on all of my friends lol But don't worry, they like it. ;-)

  • MirandaMae

    Suddenly, I wish I were moving to England sooner. I want to be a part of the Hearts video! It sounds like so much fun. Your music is great. Keep it up! Best of luck. <3Miranda

  • Gem

  • Rachel

    Not really related to the post, but I was wondering what kind of guitars and other equipment you have? Thanks! <3

  • kissmequick

  • magicmarkers

  • ilytomx

    I read the title and thought “oh, so there will be a day where everyone on the planet will meet Alex.” You have a fun last name. Also, please muddle through the next chapter of Twilight. It is very entertaining.
