Last anonymous place?
As far as I am aware, nobody I know ‘in real life’ reads this. They quite easily could. My Facebook page links to my Twitter page, my Twitter profile links here. I have links on various forums to here and only one of those has one person I know ‘in real life’ as a member.
Not that I mind if they do read this. But this is a semi-secret place. A place to say slightly crazier stuff without worrying too much.
So my crazy thing to say now is “If it was possible to have sex with music, my headphones would be getting lucky right now.”. One of the things I miss most about my pre-(happily!)-married days is the amount of time I spent listening to music. I’ve always loved music but never started buying it until I was about 16. In my student days I would spend most waking hours with some kind of music playing, be it on the radio when I woke up, my PC or my walkman/mp3 player/iPod. I would always be up to date with what was new. Then a lot of waking hours get taken up with work and family, so you have to be a little pickier with how you spend your ‘Me’ time, and more often than not I choose to play games in that time.
Today is one of those days where I remember how much I love just plugging in some headphones, tuning out the world and enjoying some great new music. There’s been an advert on Living the past couple of weeks and I liked the sound of the song. So I Googled it and saw it was La Roux, “In for the kill”. So I listen to it on YouTube and love it. Then I remember seeing their other song “Bulletproof” at number 2 in the iTunes chart so I listen to that and love it even more. So I got the album today and am currently half way through it and think it’s bloody fucking brilliant.
Another artists I decided to look into was Little Boots. I managed to develop a mini-crush within the hour, her YouTube videos of cover versions are brilliant, she’s obviously very talented and I like the new direct-to-audience style actors, artists and general famous people are using. The ease of user created content and communication the likes of Twitter, YouTube and Flickr give us means they can cut out the PR crap, which I like. Makes them seem more genuine.
iTunes is being very slow downloading that album so haven’t listened to it yet, but will do before bed.
