Drumming. Whatever about the annoyance of the cast, whatever about having to use a wheelchair at school, whatever about having decidedly less skin on my kneecap than before, whatever about not being able to go upstairs, whatever about having to get up around 3am every night like I’m the father of some newborn kid, there’s [...]
The problem with last using Last.Fm is that it puts my obsessive music-listening habits out for the world to see. Then again, one could argue that I’m the one putting them up.. :) I do love the service though – if my laptop got stolen/broken tomorrow and the hard drive got wiped, I’d love my [...]
The sunlight was so brilliant that day, you could’ve cut it with a butter-knife. It was June, and I was in the car with John, driving home from a weekend with my cousins. We had just left when John turned on the radio, switching it to CD mode. “I made a new one” he called [...]
Except that I was never the world’s number 1 fan of U2. Sure, they’re okay, but best band ever? Nah mate. The song brings me back a few years to when we lived in Tipperary. During one summer, John got his first Apple desktop machine and I started with a new physio. Hardly a fair [...]
Well, because it’s the holidays, I just lose track of the days. When you’re doing nothing but drumming and playing cards, you can’t really differentiate which is a weekend day and which is a weekday. C’est impossible! Yes, I’ve joined the Glee train, and this week’s song is Don’t Stop Believin’. There’s a drumming video [...]
Here’s a new music recommendation for you. Pascal was in RENT and Civilian is his 3rd studio album, released in 2004. It appeals to all my musical senses because it has killer drums, smooth piano and powerful vocals. I think we all know though that only the first feature in that list is a necessity [...]
Once tried to learnt the piano intro.. did mighty well – got all of the first 3 chords learnt :)
Still coughing-y and headache-y and fever-y :( Spirit of The West – Jonses Pity I couldn’t find a non-live version. You know how I dislike concerts. In any case, loving the fast paced lyrics: They kept to themselves like two books upon a shelf.. the kind you judge by the cover and never take the [...]
So I was thinking of getting some structure to posts, and since I love music to the wacky extent that I’d rather go blind than deaf I was thinking of maybe showcasing a number of albums each week – on a Saturday, I’m thinking, because people are too busy doing real-world stuff to bother doing [...]
A friend of mine is off to America for a while, and because of the unportable nature of this musical instrument (yes John, I did just call it that), he gave them to me to mind for the time that he’s gone. So, we (Dad and I) collected them today, where they were ready and [...]
