Creep (Acoustic Version)

Wednesday, 9 December 2009

It’s Music Wednesday! So here’s a music video.

Song: Creep (Acoustic) by Radiohead
Movie: Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d’enfants (”They married and had many children”)

I guess if anyone meets Johnny Depp in a music store they’d probably end up stalking him around the place =)

The Song Game

Monday, 7 December 2009

Here’s a fun game. Figure out the song titles/lyrics I’m referencing (one per sentence) and you’ll win… something la. Maybe free lunch lol.

What if the best thing you’ve ever had has gone away, leaving you high and dry? Do you move on and say thanks for the memories, even if they weren’t so great?

I was blown away, what could I say - I wish it’s not over. This is the way you left me; I’m not pretending. It feels like I can’t breathe without you, but I’ll have to. Love hurts I guess, but sometimes it’s a good hurt.

Well as for now I’m going to hear the saddest songs, and sit alone and wonder. How the hell did we wind up like this; why weren’t we able to see the signs that we missed?

I’m not calling for a second chance, cos I know I’ll just make the same mistake again.  Therefore I won’t beg you to give me another chance, to write you another song.

It’s something unpredictable but in the end it’s right - I hope you had the time of your life. Why don’t you go on and take a bow, but it’s over now.

For in the end, darkness turns to light, and it ends tonight. I want to break free! I’m starting anew, and I’ll be harder, better, faster, stronger. Right here tonight, this could be the start of something new. There’s no use waiting, waiting on the world to change. Just give me the green light, I’m ready to go right now.

You’re gone, so long - I can do better! Done, I’m done and I’m on to the next!

Can’t you feel it - it’s ladies’ night, and the feeling’s right. Let’s have some fun this beat is sick! Lemme smack that, all on the floor. I wanna make love in this club. They’ll be trying to catch me riding dirty.

Gonna get me that girl in them apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur. She’s my priestess I’m your priest. Lemme tell you how I’ll make her leave with me: conversation and Hennessy. Place your hand in mine, I’ll leave when I wanna.

Ah, club pickups - what a wonderful caricature of intimacy.

There are 30 songs in all. Go go guessing! No using Google you cheater!

Subwoofer Test

Tuesday, 21 April 2009

Ok severe lack of posts - sorrie!

I have a tendency to write a post halfway and then abandon it - there are 5 half finished drafts as it is sitting in my Wordpress.

Plus exams are coming up so I’m kind of tied up right now.

A’ight anyway… I stumbled upon this massive subwoofer test on Youtube. Seeing as I have a decent 75W subwoofer sitting under my table, I decided to blast it.

Goddamn, my whole damn room is vibrating now. I swear if I keep this up my internal organs are going to rupture and I’ll die of internal haemorrhage.

Death by bass. Fucking awesome.

WARNING: Very powderfool bass tracks. Will cause massive damage if you have a powerful subwoofer with the volume turned up.
