Stolen from CircusOfHeaven. Guess who's procrastinating on the homework front!

Name five musical acts that you like, that surprises people:
Bauhaus - "You can't like Bauhaus. You're a Split Enz fan, for God's sake." Huh. I do like Bauhaus, as a matter of fact. Even if everyone thinks I'm making it up to make myself sound cool. So what if I like Split Enz too? Speaking of which…
Split Enz - because no one expects a sixteen year old girl living in London in the year 2007 to like Split Enz. Wrong time, wrong side of the world…
Jimmy…

I'm supposedly in the middle of writing an essay about how Shakespeare presents women in Act III of Hamlet, but…

- What is the best song of your top ten artists?
- What is the worst song of your top ten artists?

1: The Damned

2: Split Enz

-is extremely bored-

20) Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Nick has an unhealthy fixation with death. Murder Ballads is rather morbid. :x

19) The Only Ones - Peter Perrett can be a bit emo at times. "I'm in love with extreme mental torture", "Why do I go through these deep emotional traumas?"…PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER MAN.

18) Soft Cell - The Tainted Love video is lolarious. Marc prances around in a toga, showing off his very skinny legs, whilst singing to a little girl who looks a bit bemused. All the Americans who comment on the video on YouTube…

Baby doll is on her trapeze
Wearing the smile that she never sees
Thinking of dollar as she tries to tease

Time to play Sheba on a wooden stage
Taking off the clothes that are grimy with age
Rubbing down the skin that is white and cold
And the sticking plasters that cover up the holes
Stared at by a man that would do her harm
Needs to earn the money that will feed his arm
He promised you security safe and warm
He promised you security safe and warm

They'll never know the hurt that you feel inside
The…

Stolen from someone, as always.

Of all the bands/artists in your cd/record collection, which one do you own the most albums by?


Probably David Bowie thanks to all the vinyl I've inherited from my mother. If I was only counting things I'd bought myself, then
The Damned. <3


What was the last song you listened to?

Party Fears Two. Utter heaven. MORE PLEASE.

What's in your record/cd player right now?

I don't think I've got anything in my CD player at the moment, but in my record player it's Bauhaus with "The Sky's Gone Out" Love that album.…

Sat 30 Jun – Lou Reed

I really don't know where to begin. Good lord. I'll try my best to be articulate, and start…er…at the beginning.

My mother and I got there horrendously early and spent an hour wandering through the Apollo, people-watching. Most of the people there were couples in their forties or fifties, although there were the occasional family with young children, which was quite cool. Maybe the parents just couldn't get babysitters or something, but even so. I wish I could say my first gig was Lou Reed. Instead it was Busted, which was, funnily…

Well, it certainly beats GCSE revision.

You know how to do it - put itunes/mp3 player on shuffled and so on and so forth.

I love David Bowie. After going through a stage of having terrible taste in music I finally listened to my mum and gave Bowie a go. Hearing Life on Mars? was enough, and I fell in love.

I won't pretend to have everything Bowie's ever released, but my mum had kept most of her Bowie records, and it was through her old vinyl collection that I discovered Diamond Dogs, Aladdin Sane and Station to Station, all of which have become some of my favourite albums. The only "main" album that she seemed to be missing was Low…

..with Love and Rockets. I'm almost beginning to prefer them to Bauhaus, which just feels wrong. But I wanted to post this video:

Yin and Yang…

which I have been watching repeatedly for several days now, and I've decided that it is quite perfect. At the line "Alcohol is your yoga baby" I feel all strange and woozy, but in a nice way.

And I'm really not doing justice to the song at all, but good music always makes me incoherent.

P.S

How lovely is Daniel Ash? Very.
