Shit.
\nYet afuckingain I missed The Shield<\/i> because I forgot. Fuck.<\/p>\n
In other news, Blood Bowl is coming along better than the past few days with the margins narrowing. All good fun.<\/p>\n
Work is ranging across a whole spectrum of stuff. I’m not sure what’s going on with a lot of things and we shall see. I noted with a smile that one of the other new people on the floor this week (not my boss) spent a while writing in his blog on the afternoon of his first day. Now we just gotta find the blog.<\/p>\n
Getting the train is working out (barely) so far. I have to be out of the house by 8:50 and it’s well tough. Yesterday after work I got some music. The first Starsailor album wasn’t bad. My sister gave it to me and it was ok, soft brit rock. I saw them live earlier in the year and wasn’t impressed, in fact it put me off them a bit. However their new single Silence is Easy<\/i> is excellent and I picked that up. Also picked up the CD and DVD single of Iron Maiden’s newest and the DVD single of the latest White Stripes. Now I mainly got that for the video and I’m a little cheesed off as it contains another video and not the one for the single.<\/p>\n
Couple of albums too, some older Goo Goo Dolls stuff which may lead to some more anon and the debut; Let Go<\/i> by Nada Surf. I saw them live supporting someone a while ago, it could have been Starsailor actually and they weren’t bad. The album isn’t either. A couple of tracks standing out so far.<\/p>\n
Lets see I meant to do this last night. It’s a listing (of sorts) of songs which I love and mean things to me. I might not be able to tell you what they mean, I might not even know but for some reason they do.<\/p>\n
In no particular order I give you part 1 of many.<\/p>\n
Iris<\/i> by The Goo Goo Dolls.
\nQuite simply one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. I knew of it before it was used in City of Angels<\/i> and was disapointed it never had the sucess it so obviously deserved. I did buy a copy for a girlfriend once, I sometimes regret sharing it.
\nTime of your Life<\/i> by Green Day.
\nIt’s bitter yet broken and has some haunting vocals, I love it. I once told someone I bought a copy for a girlfriend I had just dumped, I hadn’t. I rarely think of the song that way.
\nI want to Break Free<\/i> by Queen.
\nThe first pop song I knew. I use to get lifts to school with my next door neighbours, I was 7 or 8 ish at the time and I’d love it when this track came on and was played. On night my cousin Phil was babysitting us and I asked him what it was, he made me sing a little and he said he thought it was Queen. It was and there began the Queen love.
\n Please Don’t Go<\/i> by KWS.
\nI don’t know what it is, but I love the tune and the words just fit it. The first album I<\/b> bought was The Greatest Dance album in the world ever….<\/i> pretty much just because it had this on it. I still have it somewhere.
\nSmells Like Teen Spirit<\/i> by Nirvana.
\nOther than it being a requirement for my generation, this was my first introduction to ‘alternative’ music and only really came as part of a collection of some mp3s on an old mac next to me.
\nPride<\/i>, One<\/i>, Sunday, Bloody Sunday<\/i> by U2
\nI grew up in Dublin in the 80’s, it’s in my blood but these three always get me more than anything else.
\nTake my Breath Away<\/i> by Berlin.
\nWhat can I say, I loved (maybe even still do) Top Gun<\/i> and this tune is excellent. Again it’s an 80’s thing. I don’t know many in my generation who don’t have some love for this.
\nMan in the Mirror, Liberian Girl, I Just Can’t Stop Loving You<\/i> by Michael Jackson.
\nAll from the first album I ever owned, Bad<\/i>. Great tunes, still to this day up there with the best. See also Bille Jean<\/i>.<\/p>\n
