Someone Elses Point Of View...

Death is the common lot of all
It spareth neither greate nor small
Then (sence the time’s not in our powr)
Let’s live as though’t were our last hour
For come when’t will,t will sudden seem
Although the warning long hath been
And be not troubled if your friends
Come suddenly unto their ends
For’t is a debt, that all must pay
Though some do goe a nearer way
Then others yet the idurneys sure
And some pain in’t we must endure
How necessary tis to be prepared for death
Pray, learne of me.

Interpol / NYC // Turn On The Bright Lights...

I had seven faces, thought I knew which one to wear. I'm sick spending these lonely nights, training myself not to care... Subway is a porno, the pavements they are a mess. I know you've supported me for a long time, somehow I'm not impressed.

How Have U2 Ever Survived...

Don't get me wrong I think U2 have some of the best songs in existence but they don't have any of the best albums. There is such an appeal of sounding amateur but hasn't it been used to an extreme extent? All credit to them - they are very successful and I own three or four of their albums. Strange a band without a particularly startling album can be so prominent.

Your Own Worst Enemy...

I'd say this was true in most cases.

My lifes a diesese that could always change, with comparitive ease, just given the chance. - Echo & The Bunnymen

Top Ten...

Once again the top ten email has reared it's head. Albums, tracks and films - the three taxing incarnations at once. Work in progress.

A Strangely Impressive Track..

All Of Me / Benett

A bit off my usual audio pleasures and hard to define in a genre kinda way but it's on the playlist.

Religious Bumper Stickers...

Although religion is not something I partake in, I don't worry about people who do or don't carry a faith. That is their choice. But stickers on the bumper of a scabby Nissan Sunny saying 'Believe in Jesus and you will be saved.' - ok, saved from what has to be the first question? And is this not the kind of comment that the church should be avoiding, they surely do not want to be seen to be forcing their beliefs on others, the sticker could be seen in commanding, enlightning or otherwise needless. Why does the driver feel the need to share this with the rest of the driving public?

Name That Track...

[Chorus]
In a world, where people have problems
In this world, where decisions are a way of life
Other peoples problems, they overwhelm my mind
They say compassion is a virtue
But I don't have the time

So many people have thier problems
I'm not interested, in their problems
I guess I've experienced some problems
But now I've made some decisions
Takes a lot of time to push away, the non-sense
Take my compassion, push it as far as it goes
My interest level is dropping
My interest level is dropping
I've heard all I want to, I don't want to hear anymore

What are you? - In love with you problems?
I think you take it, a little too far
It's not cool to have so many problems
But don't expect me to explain your indecisions
Talk to your analysts, isn't that what they're paid for?
You walk, you talk, you still function like you used to
It's not a question, of your personality or style
Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good

[Chorus]

Out of the Wind and Rain, into the Fire...

Work and Visual Basic...

I feel like ripping the throat of every client this department has for wanting things written in VB - it's dead! Let it lie...

Not too sure what exactly is to be posted on here but once I'm settled there could very well be some top notch literature.
