Maybe I'm wrong, but I keep thinking, "Why the hell don't I have THAT song in my mp3 collection?" when I browse the list. By "THAT song" I mean any song I love. Songs that I have on CD already but want available on my computer too.

Every time I rip songs from more CDs, I wonder if I am going to break my computer (which is kind of an old computer, actually it's nearly 6 years old now!) with the next song ripped. But I continue to get new songs off my CDs anyway, because…I have to. It's a…

Ahhh, Strapping Young Lad. One song out of all the thousands I've ever heard, all the thousands I love, will always get me up from my chair and dancing. Dancing like a fiend. That song is Detox by Strapping Young Lad!

I think I'd get enough exercise if I played "Detox" once a day and let myself go nuts each time.

That's my new plan!

I am stunned to learn that Misfits are touring here in Australia, and are actually visiting Perth! They're playing at the Capitol I think, out the front of the Amplifier Bar. I am so very excited! I must get a ticket or surely expire!

I did this previously at LJ, and now I will do it here!

So I am somewhat down and gloomy, and it seems that I prefer to listen to chicks with guitars than anything else in such a state. In which case Liz Phair is a logical place to turn.

I love her album Exile in Guyville so much. It's just fantastic. Gunshy remains my favourite track, though it's pretty hard to choose. I'm sort of torn though, because on the one hand the songs comfort me (I'm not the only one who's felt the way I do right now; Liz shows me that), and on the other they justify my sadness. Or…

If anyone hasn't seen this site yet, you should!

Thanks to a friend of mine from Open Diary for directing me to it! I've already found at least 4 songs by new artists (well, artists who are new to me anyway) that I want to download. I'm excited! :)

You can't skip many songs per hour, so you will have to listen to the entire song if you have already skipped the full amount per hour. But it's a fun thing to do now and then, I am guessing - just to discover new music!

Go forth and discover,…

Sun 4 Dec – Oasis, Foo Fighters, Kaiser Chiefs, Spiderbait, Karnivool, Gyroscope, The Pictures

On Sunday the 4th of December I headed off with a bunch of crazy friends to Arena Joondalup to enjoy a day of Rock. The main event for me was to be the Foo Fighters, but there were other things to anticipate as well.

It was a very cold day considering we have just headed into an Australian summer! I was underdressed for the occasion, but I bought a Foo Fighters t-shirt – it’s lovely and red – and that warmed me up a bit. I…

I bought the new Magic Dirt album, Snow White, the other day, and it is so completely awesome that I have fallen in love with it. Adalita rocks my socks. She is such an inspiration. She is a big reason I bought my guitar and started to teach myself.

The album has some quieter moments, and a lot of ROCKIN moments. Pretty moments (I Love The Rain), sad moments (see Tiger Eyes, which is sad but BEAUTIFUL!), moments where I want to get up and jump around like an insane thing (see Dyin'). All the…

I am not usually one to download comedians' music. For example, Weird Al Yankovic - never really been into that sort of thing. Though I was somewhat amused by his version of Nirvana's best-known hit. The sheep were a nice touch. ;)

Anyway…Dave Grohl is a musician I highly admire. And it seems to me he may, just MAY, have grown into a man I can admire too. Sure, I could always admire him for his musical talent. But he was a bit of a player. He cheated. He lied. Blah blah. He was hot, but that isn't…

I find it pretty interesting to look at which The Smashing Pumpkins songs are listened to most by people on this website. For example, the top 5:

1 Beautiful 10449
2 We Only Come Out At Night 9364
3 Stumbleine 9322
4 Farewell And Goodnight 9095
5 X.Y.U. 7570
