a penchant for out-of-tune stuff
mar 24. reasons
was once asked for a reason for liking music so much. it's another
je ne sais quoi thing. but i guess music takes no sides, and interpretation
is up for grabs. so i guess that's it.
-------
feb 9. the end has a start
you know what. i am still riding on the highs from the "phew, thank god 2008
is over" effect; not that it was particularly bad, or that the year ahead would be like wowow,
but i've got this 'back to basics' eureka lalala in my head and it's a good notion, albeit a strange one
-------
oct 1. the start
hopefully i'll update this stuff regularly though no one would read this;
we should spread good and sometimes obscure music around, but then again
obscure loses its charm when it ain't obscure no more.
so yeah the radio is my souljuice for getting through mundane afternoons. now they're pooling for 9 song playlists so i've been thinking of the hypothetical nine i'd like heard.
1. fastlane - esthero. "this is so tortuous, i know that i shouldn't, but i cannot resist"
a song about the pangs and notions of love, it has this lingering effect on the individual. raw/honest/intimate. don't know how else to describe it.
2. say what u want - texas.
can't get enough of the tune esp the first bit. it just puts people(me) in their(my) happy place. and it's borderline obsession painted in a sweet way?
3. irreplaceable - beyonce.
current and catchy (til it gets overplayed) probably will scrap this for nat imbruglia's torn when the tune wears itself out... though that would mean a more 'depressed' playlist
4. ode to my family - the cranberries. "Do you know this, do you know You did not find me, you did not find Does anyone care"
makes you want to be a kid in ignorance again... (maybe 13 for late bloomers like me)
5. all good things - nelly furtado. "flames to dust, lovers to friends, ...all good things come to an end"
ima sucker for melancholy.(and nelly furtado) such a visual paradox. - a surreal being singing about reality. hmm.
6. runaway train - soul asylum.
"Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain"
a somewhat random pick. this one's for smelly cat. and coz the live band did not sing it a couple of saturdays back.
7. precious - depeche mode. "Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we'd manage But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give"
this one isn't particularly catchy, doesn't tug at ur heartstrings too much, but the lyrics ring so true. makes u want to nod to the song, and in agreement?
8. kylie minogue - confide in me. "Stick or twist the choice is yours Hit or miss what's mine is yours"
a tribute to kylie's homecoming... and my second home. you gotta love kylie for being the entertainer she is.
9. beautiful day - u2. "it's a beautiful day, don't let it get away"
ditch work and paint the town red... very good for monday blues.
// playlist on youtube here just a bunch of reflective / happy songs that make u drift away. though i'd pick very different songs (think garbage/placebo) for an afternoon with the now *deceased ione (the ipod)
*yes its dead. yes they're replacing it.(woohoo!) no it's not going to be black (damn!)

// 019 video killed the radio star?
PartI
so this is about the big music spitting machine we call the ipod though mine's named ione(v2) (after ione skye though i know nothing about the person. the name's just somewhat surreal. or whateverr.)
main point here...ipod updaters from itunes7 killed ione. well kinda, it just doesn't recognise computers now. maybe screaming at itunes a little longer might help?
i think the radio killed my video star.
unfortunately, we aesthetically charged morons love our ipods and iones unconditionally despite it's apparant shortcomings.
"Can't move on... but I can't go home and I'm not so strong... but I'll make my way to the place I know inside my heart where I used to go to get brave and I don't want to be lost anymore."
i drive alone -
"battling, battling, these feelings are traveling Quicker than a flick of lightning, you were tightening Round my heart and won't slow down Burning hotter than the world underground I'm feeling like cupid's fool, what to do? And the arrow's headed straight for you you I don't wanna love another, gotta keep this undercover Brother I'm about to explode, I am…
Strong as an earthquake, bright as a shinin' star I remember the fragrance, I just couldn't believe I'd come so far for Love in the fast lane, as my sanity quickly passed me by Yeah I left it all behind"
1. fastlane - esthero. 
2. say what u want - texas.
3. irreplaceable - beyonce.
4. ode to my family - the cranberries.
5. all good things - nelly furtado.
6. runaway train - soul asylum.
7. precious - depeche mode.
8. kylie minogue - confide in me.
9. beautiful day - u2.
