Alongside all that is actual work and indeed deadline stress. I worked late this week for the first time in a long time. So that&#8217;s good.<\/p>\n<p>Outside of work there&#8217;s been a bit going on. Yesterday I had a few friends around for lunch and then an afternoon of playing some Xbox. The evening was around to the pub where some others joined us for a late night. Good fun throughout.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to see The Frames on Tuesday night which I&#8217;m looking forward to a whole lot. They were awesome in Sheperds Bush a few weeks ago and I&#8217;m hoping for more of the same.  Then the weekend. I&#8217;m not able to make V-Mas which I&#8217;m annoyed about as I&#8217;m off to see Velvet Revolver in Hammersmith. That too should be a good gig, the reviews of nights to date have all been positive. Shame on the clash \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>A friend brought The Killers album into work on Friday. It went around a couple of us and I was very pleasantly surprised by it. Enough to go out and buy it. Track 4 <i>Somebody Told Me<\/i> is a major standout. Up there with Franz Ferdinand for a band that I shouldn&#8217;t like but I do, quite a bit.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a strange one for music lately. I heard Nick Cave&#8217;s <i>Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow<\/i> and was blown away by it. I never got into his stuff at all but I love this track. As soon as I get into a store I&#8217;ll buy the album for it alone. I&#8217;m hoping it lives up to it.<\/p>\n<p>Halloween weekend, I was in the pub with some of the lads having a drink after work.n One of the other pubs was having a themed evening, Dead Rock Stars for dressup. We were generally scoffing at it. Until the thought struck, what if you took it a step further and played only music by dead rock stars. This thought snowballed onwards and a pen and paper was quickly found. Thus we spent at least two hours coming up with a complilation of dead artists (or group members to get Metallica, Stones etc). We listed a good 70 songs and I&#8217;ve been collecting &#8217;em up to make the CD. That was how  I heard Led Zepplin&#8217;s <i>Immigrant Song<\/i> for the first time. Again, wow. I&#8217;ll post the full playlist when it&#8217;s done.<\/p>\n<p>More and more I&#8217;m starting to regret having my hair cut off. I don&#8217;t really want to go through the years it took to get it that long again. Beard is still in a limbo state of it&#8217;s own. We&#8217;ll see about that one in another few weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything feels like a strange sort of limbo at the moment.
