Check out this excellent photo of Slane 2 taken by Moby on stage. That’s a hell of alot of people. One thing I will always remember from Slane the week before aside from the Chili Peppers and U2 rocking was the end of the night as I got to the top of the hill and turned around to look back and see what could have been 80,000 people walking behind me.
Moby updates his site with a blog type thing pretty much daily and is good reading 🙂
It’s nice to know that AOLTW can “comfortably absorb an all-cash deal” worth just over 6.5 billion dollars
Why would anyone bother to post a blatent lie to a list-serv when they *know* that more than 10 people on it know that it is a blatent lie? What’s the point, I mean nevermind in the first place alone but why? It’s just gonna be more hassle if someone chooses to correct it and then it goes off. ah well
Sometime ago, way back when I blogged about a song I had heard from a compilation on the office network. The compilation was from Dawson’s Creek, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from appreciating the music The song was “Superman” by Five for Fighting. It soon became one of my favourite tracks. Recently it seems to be going up the US charts like mad, and I certainly hope it gets a UK release in the near future, well what has this going to do with anything? I was browsing for some more Radiohead vids and I found the video for this which was nice to see 🙂
U2 Summer 2002 tour?
I had to fill out some paperwork this morning, about 3 sheets of questionnaire type stuff. Not even 100 words needed to be written, more like 30 in total. Guess what! My hand hurt by the second bloody page. I can’t remember the last time I actually wrote something, I don’t write any letters or even postcards or anything like that. I use to be able to write 5 or 6 A4 pages before that happened. Did I mention that I love pcs?
composed to: Pablo Honey by Radiohead —– grow my hair I wanna be Jim Morrison.
Doing a quick google for some Radiohead lyrics found some certainly interesting reading where the band discuss their 1997 masterpiece that is “OK Computer”. I don’t have it with me and I have this overwhealming urge to listen to it right now 🙁
I had not seen this before, (damn I miss my MTV), but the video to the excellent “I Might Be Wrong” can be found here and rocks.
Ya know if I was not Irish, had not grown up in the 80’s and been from Dublin, it would be possibly safe to say that Radiohead are the best band in the world rather than U2, but that would just be silly now wouldn’t it….
a far better look at the new iMac.
Recent discovery and in fact something I had avoided for a long time. The Google toolbar is actually usefull!. I hate having blocky toolbars on my screens so it’s straight into text only and shuffle them up into two small lines then lock them. I only recently started usings the links option. I also HATE msn search and well I use IE so I can’t really get away from it. So last week I go the Google toolbar, and lets me honest I junked everything with it bar the searh field. So now at home and in work it sits nicel up above the address bar beside my links lined up with the file, window etc and gives me a decent search!!!
The mystery of Britney Spear’s brests. Absolute class. The truth is out there 🙂
and a possible eleventh on that list Stereophonics: Performance and Cocktails. This is actually a wonderful album. I first heard of The Stereophonics about 4 years ago I guess. There was a song that was not really successful but I heard it on the radio once or twice and it had quite a big affect on me. Songs normally don’t. It was of course “Local Boy in the Photograph”. I don’t remember if I heard about the backstory before I heard it or after, but it was written by the lead singer after he saw a photo of a local boy who had been killed on a train track. The lyrics to it are so melancholic. Anyways I got one of their albums. One of my best friends in my college years (what a phrase) who I am unfortunately not in touch with these days due to lost information, was a huge fan so I kept up with them a fair bit. I love the latter tracks on this album, “I Stopped To Fill My Car Up” and “She Takes Her Clothes Off” showcase Kelley Jones’s voice so well and work perfectly as Stereophonic’s tracks. The latest album, “Just Enough Education To Perform” is somewhat similar, but it’s not as good as prior efforts. Yes “Have a nice Day” and “Handbags and Gladrags” are definitely highlights, but overall it’s a kinda mediocre album
From a thread on a board I visit. Quick name your top ten albums of all time without thinking! 😉
(in alphabetical order only)
Having said all that, some of my favourite Radiohead tracks are from the “I Might be Wrong Live Recordings” album including “I Might be Wrong” and “Spinning Plates”, altho it must be said I much prefer the album version of “Idioteque”. I miss napster sometimes, I heard alot of Kid A over it, I use to have some of studio versions and lots of live bootlegs. There was some great stuff that you just can’t get otherwise
A preview of Apple’s iMac 2 hit the net today. It’s certainly a new design…
Need a laugh? Sys Admin Prices
I don’t particularly like Terry Pratchetts work but I love the novel he wrote with Neil Gainman, “Good Omens” AICN has some really good news on it today 🙂
oh yes McDonalds ENOUGH ALREADY!! I know you have this wonderful new menu, I DON’T need to see your ad running on 2 bloody channels at the same time. It’s not fuckin necessary. I must have seen that ad 15 times over the weekend and I don’t recall actually watching a single full program.
Two great new songs going on in the background at the moment, man I love MP3’s. Nelly Furtado’s “On the Radio” and No Doubt’s “Hey Baby”
“you are not a beautiful and unique website” – tyler durden.
I found this sig, obviously a slightly modifed quote from the excellent “Fight Club”, in one of the Blogger help forums.
I mean to write a post around a quote from Brian Michael Bendis’s Jinx, but I think it stands quite well on it’s own. Two characters, Jinx and Goldfish having their first coversation.
Jinx: “So now, where we are, two blank slates”
Goldfish: “We can be whoever we want to be”
Jinx: “Ta-daa”
Goldfish: “Are you not happy with who you are now?”
Jinx: “Totally? No. Nobody is. Jinx Alameda is a work in progress”
Right, update of my template is done. Links are showing across the drop in nice dropdowns and after couple of problems, gone back to dot comments which lets me use CSS so looks a whole lot better (well than it did anyway). 🙂
Elektra appears to have been cast 🙂
