Hypocrisy is a wonderful thing, and thanks to the medium of social networking, it is a much easier thing to achieve. Every time Facebook chisels away at the privacy settings of the least private private network in the world, or Google adds another prohibitively anti privacy line to its terms and conditions, I do the [...]
Song 28, Colour Haze – Tempel. I’ve been putting this one off for a while now, because quite frankly I don’t know if any music makes me feel particularly guilty. I suppose the intention in this task is to see if there’s any music that causes a memory recall for something bad you did. But [...]
I spend most of my day with one headphone in my ear, which is obviously preferable to spending the day with no headphones in my ear. Sometimes I go hog wild and put two in. Throughout the day I am free to listen to music whilst I do all the work type things that I [...]
Last night I braved a downpour so severe I could barely make out my own headlights on the road ahead to make my way towards a modern building in an esteemed seat of learning, and found myself sitting in a classroom for the first time in over a decade. I was surprised to see that [...]
Well now that I’m back I should probably try and get this ridiculous challenge over and done with, or at least moan about it a bit more. At this point it is only sheer stubbornness that is driving me forward. I can’ imagine that if I let it wither and die unfinished that there would [...]
Song 26, Soundgarden – The Day I Tried To Live Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away (Sunderland, to be precise) I used to own a bass guitar. Don’t laugh. It was large and unwieldy, and for the first year I spent at University, I attempted to learn how to play it. [...]
Song 26. The Frogs – Meet the Frogs. In a week when world stock market prices are tumbling, and the never ending cycle of apocalyptic news headlines continues to beat everyone into a listless depression, it seems prudent to try and lighten the mood a little. Laughter being, you know, good stuff. So, funny songs. [...]
Song 24: Clutch – (Eulogy for a) Ghost. Wahay, and we’re back! I figured it is about time to finish this rather idiotic challenge off, seeing as I’ve only got seven more to do and they happen to be the ones I’m more interested in. So, funeral music. Well, this is actually something I’ve given [...]
I was going to do my next 30 day song challenge today, but it seems a little unseemly to me to be writing about a song to have at my funeral when there is so much death around. From the death of a young woman who lost a battle with addiction and whose funeral is [...]
Last night I was getting all flustered about not having blogged in a whole week, when my partner rather sagely pointed out that nobody is even remotely likely to have noticed, something which seemed cold and cruel at first, but also wildly accurate. I never really notice when even my favourite bloggers go quiet for [...]
