I can't believe it's been 4 months that I've been trying to get the internet!!!

Let me just say that I abhor Big Pond, and every other ISP on the face of the planet is looking pretty fucked to me too. *g*

I should be connected this week or next. But man I wanna kick some heads in over this whole fiasco.

Anyone got a spare head?

I am moving into my dad's place and I'm not sure I can be bothered getting the Internet (which requires getting a phone line too) when I'm only going to be there a short-ish while. So I am going to access the Internet other ways, but I don't think my musical endeavours will register here.

Perhaps it'll be interesting to see if anything much has changed when I return!

I'm going to miss it, as I visit Last.fm almost every day, so I will probably cave in and get the Internet even for the short time I'll be at my…

I tend to write music these days. I've been keeping it relatively quiet from people I know in person, just 'cause I am nervous putting myself up for the trashing. Hehe. Still…I love to write and play my guitar so I might as well get used to all of it, trashing included!

You can hear some of my songs at my MySpace Music page:

They are recorded on my computer using my 6-year-old headset as a microphone, so naturally the sound qualitay is not all that excellent. They'll do, though!

So I'm back in Perth and straight on the computer (well, after I had a shower and unpacked a bit of my stuff, anyway!).

I am listening to one of the CDs I bought while I was away, and it's Laura Imbruglia's potentially self-titled album (can't see sign of a title on the cover/booklet). I heard one of the songs on the Triple J website, and that one's called "Tear Ducts". It's on this album, and I found it in a second-hand store in really good condition (pretty much mint), so I decided to get it. I am up…

I was playing music in Pandora one time and this song by Earshot came on. It was called… Damn, what was it called? I just listened to it and still I'm drawing a blank. Ok, it was "Get Away", like I suspected! Hehe.

Aaaaanyway, at first I thought the guy singing the song might be the one and only Maynard James Keenan (a la Tool and A Perfect Circle, which I am saying just so I can add 'em to the connections list hehe). He sounds quite like him in that song, but not QUITE alike. Still, you should…

My top 10 are:

01 The Smashing Pumpkins 1653
02 Liz Phair 694
03 Silverchair 620
04 Soundgarden 575
05 Nirvana 428
06 Queens of the Stone Age 405
07 Veruca Salt 361
08 Kittie 359
09 Madonna 349
10 Helmet 333

Now answer the questions according to the numbers:

What was the first song you ever heard by 6?

It was
No One Knows, and I heard it when I saw the video clip for it. I gaped because there was Dave Grohl, drumming after all this time. Josh Homme's voice also drew me in. Yum!

What is…

I have no idea why it took me so long to get these b-sides off my CD singles, but it's done!!

Foo Fighters b-sides are certainly amongst the most rocking of all b-sides. Right now I am listening to The Colour and the Shape, from the Monkey Wrench single. It is amazingly awesomely rockin'. Dude. I just finished listening to Podunk , and still to come is Winnebago (both from This Is A Call). And then How I Miss You from I'll Stick Around.

All are songs to get up and dance to, for sure. And headbanging…

When I worked at the Subiaco Pavilion Markets years ago, as a rather inadequate sunglasses salesperson (I refused to bully customers into buying stuff, and my boss didn't love me for it), there was a CD shop a few aisles away. They would determine what music played in the markets, for whatever they played in their shop got wired through to everyone else.

They often put shit on, but they played Moby's album Play an awful lot. They also played Dire Straits, and I'm a fan of them too. But I think Moby stole my heart.

I have…

After a long time of having the material but not doing anything with it (oh, the shame!) I have added the contents of a CD a friend of mine sent me to my playlist. It must've been 200 songs or something. They are now in my Winamp playlist. And I believe they are all Swedish artists.

So there should be some interesting things popping up on this page from here on in. ;) It'll take me some time to figure out which ones I really want to keep and which I'm not so fond of. But there is definitely an…

Unusually, I wrote down some words and thought they would work out as lyrics. Before I had any music. Of course, I was humming music to myself, that's how I thought they'd fit. But I hadn't worked out chords or anything.

Then I figured out the music afterwards.

At the bottom of the page on which I wrote the song, there were a couple of little lines that turned into a second song. I actually ended up writing the second song before the first one. And neither are complete, but they are pretty much there. Just have to figure out…
