Why 'Late-Night Newscast'?

Before anyone asks, I guess I'll try to explain just WHY the blog is called 'Late-Night Newscast'.

At the end of 2008, as I wanted to explore the possibilities of acoustic songwriting that didn't really suit my previous band 'Childhood Dreamers', I wanted to start an acoustic side-project of sorts.

I was supposed to get Peter (the original lead vocalist of Childhood Dreamers/one of my many bros) to sing but due to his personal issues, he never was able to come over to my place to play. Thus, I was on my own. A semi-alright guitar player with almost NO vocal ability and a number of half-assed songs.

I decided to give it a go but I wanted a cool name to go with it.

So one night when I was at my friend's place staying over. We decided to look for a program to record stuff on. After 2 hours of searching, downloading and testing, we finally found Audacity which we still use even now.

For a name, my friend had an idea. We picked 5 random words from Oxford's English dictionary and using those we came up with these names:
-Selling Esquire
-Late-Night Newscast
-Dirge of Maria

Based on a poll on his now-defunct blog, Late-Night Newscast was chosen.

And thus my solo acoustic side-project and the name for this blog came to be. :)
