30dsc, day 13. A song that is a guilty pleasure.

30 day song challenge,Music 29 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Hmm, another topic that is less than inspiring. Here’s my opinion on this, you should never feel guilty about liking a song. If you like a song, then to you it is a good song. As much as I chastise people for their woeful taste as often as I can, I do so because I [...]

30dsc day 12. A song from a band you hate.

30 day song challenge,Music 26 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Well it appears that 12 days in this challenge of mine is already repeating itself, this being more or less a repeat of the day that meant I had to plaster Jacoby Shaddix’s stupid gurning fizzog all over my nice clean blog. Now I have to adorn it with another slice of horribleness. Oh well. [...]

30dsc, day 11. A song from your favourite band

30 day song challenge,Music 25 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Well if you have managed to make it to day 11 of a 30 day song challenge without posting a song from your favourite band already then clearly they are not your favourite band. I decided early on that there shall be no repetition of bands on this list, so immediately I am not going [...]

30dsc day 10. A song that makes you fall asleep.

30 day song challenge,Music 23 May 2011 | 0 Comments

As far back as I can remember I’ve used sounds to fall asleep to, but in most cases what I tend to find gets me to sleep is talking. When I first started finding it hard to sleep I was at boarding school and I started listening to some kind of talk radio from Kent. [...]

30dsc, day 9. A song that you can dance to.

30 day song challenge,Music 19 May 2011 | 0 Comments

I used to think I was pretty good at ‘the dancing.’ Going to metal and rock and indie nights pretty much every weekend between the ages of 17 and 29 gave me ample opportunity to fine tune that groove, my own particular style of movement that was somewhere between slam dancing, head banging and body [...]

30dsc, day 8. A song you know all the words to.

30 day song challenge,Music 18 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Well this is a tough one, given that like most people there are possibly hundreds of songs that I know all the words to. I know all the words to all the songs I have put on this challenge so far. I know all the words to happy birthday. I know all the words to [...]

30dsc, day 7. A song that reminds you of a certain event

30 day song challenge,Music 17 May 2011 | 0 Comments

There has only ever been one event that has ever left me well and truly speechless, as I first met the little bundle of wrinkles and blue eyes that had caused me so much trepidation since I knew she was coming. All the trepidation evaporated in an instant the moment I saw her, and on [...]

30dsc day, um, well…

30 day song challenge,Music 16 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Ok so I’ve been a bit rubbish. I wish I could say that my absence is down to a huge spike in productivity or business or, well, anything, but the truth is it is a result only of the excellence of Battlestar Galactica,. I’m well into season three now, and it is like crack, except crack [...]

30dsc: Day 5, a song that reminds you of someone

30 day song challenge,Music 6 May 2011 | 1 Comment

Double post today since I was useless yesterday due to the arrival of in-laws and other such gubbins, and after today’s other song definitely time to lighten the mood. Before we get to that though, it seems my good friend Joe has taken up the gauntlet over at Grapevine Fires, guess what his first choice [...]

30dsc: Day 4, a song that makes you sad

30 day song challenge,Music 6 May 2011 | 0 Comments

Of all the challenge topics this was the one that popped fully formed into my head straight away and has not changed. Back when I was young I used to, like everyone of my generation, make endless tape compilations. Some were for friends, but most were for me because, let’s face it, I didn’t exactly [...]
