new songs - oh sweet joyful (and sometimes unapologetically joyless) new songs! it's been 15 ridiculously long silent months since i last bought a song (it's a tragic and painful story....)
loving
New Order. even though most of their songs are about 3 minutes too long* :| they remind me of diesel fumes, cigarette smoke and shiny wet pavements and i must.go.home.very.very.very.soon :|
loving
how a song can take you back to a place instantly with no jetlag, delays or armrest hogging business men :)
*thinking
songs over 4 minutes should just be banned altogether - life's too short for sitting around waiting for epic songs to end :(
thinking also
that live versions of songs should be banned - they are pure torture
(speaking of torture....) remarking
that i actually quite like Coldplay (though the sound of synthetic violins makes me so hopelessly homesick/rainsick...) huh - and here was me doubting that anyone who has to breathe the same air as Gwyneth Paltrow could possibly make anything but primal, tortured wails ;)
wondering
if 6 November is too late to be playing Nat King Cole's Christmas album...? because i already love it (his voice is like velvety chocolate Labrador puppies)
also wondering
if my love of Wichita Lineman is abnormal...? i have collected about 29 different versions of it now :| current favorite: James Taylor (his voice is like velvety chocolate Labrador puppies also)
my Christmas list:
one dear thing with a heart shaped nose
one velvety soft baby giraffe
a small elephant that i can take places on a little harness (must fit in the back of the minivan and like dogs :)
a baby gorilla (blocking out memory of the chimp attack on Oprah) surely this little baby couldn't rip a face off....? inconceivable!
a tiny tubby rhino :)
off to Bedfordshire and back tomorrow with more tales of the unexpected.... xoxox
