Music Selection, Clocks and a Guilty Pleasure
I think this is quite an important topic to look at. I am have quite a wide taste in music and I’ll pick songs to listen to that either reflect my mood or relate to what I’m doing.
Currently I’m feeling quite chilled and I’m chatting to the missus. It would be inappropriate to crank up some Five Finger Death Punch or something along those lines. So I’m currently listening to a little playlist that I made up whilst looking at her Ping profile earlier. I’ve got 9 of the 10 tracks she had selected and they all see pretty relevant to my mood at the moment.
So what is on this playlist…
I Miss You – Blink 182Set The Fire To The Third Bar – Snow PatrolI Remember – Deadmau5Misguided Ghosts – ParamoreGood Riddance (Time Of Your Life) – Green DayLittle Lion Man – Mumford & SonsYour Song – Ellie GouldingIslands – The XxFirework – Katy Perry
Most of these tracks have got their own little meanings or have lyrics that I have related to at different times.
The Bink 182 track is my girls favourite song, Snow Patrol has a fair few personal memories and thoughts throughout a few of their tracks but the lyrics in this track are very appropriate to the amount of travelling I do. Anything by Deadmau5 is a win, but this is one of his masterpieces for sure. Misguided Ghosts… the lyrics… enough said. Good Riddance is a nostalgic track for me, reminds me of when I was a fair bit younger and has ben played in my car on certain occasions that I remember quite well. Always a good track.
I’ve been getting really into Ellie Goulding over the last year or so, Mumford & Sons is a winner and the Xx need so much more appreciation for their music. Firework doesn’t have any meaning to me but Katy Perry does. There was a certain weekend festival in 2009, it was a good couple days.
If a couple of my close friends looked at that list they’d think that i made it, nope wasn’t me. Good choice babe. I like your style.
So it is coming to the end of Thursday the Ninth of June Two Thousand and Eleven. That means that when I wake up in the morning, I’ll be back home in 40 days. Woop. That is a pretty good, and nicely round figure. For those that spend long periods of time away, or those that get left behind when their partners disappear for a while, you’ll know what I mean. I’m at the stage where I’m counting down everything I can count down. How many weekends? How many sleeps? How many shifts? It is a good thing, as it convinces your mind that what ever you our counting yourself away from, will come to an end. However, it is a bad thing.. Mr clock has his his wicked ways and decides that the second hand has a lower gear ratio and has also decided to dip the clutch and let it coast down to a crawling pace. Hurry Up! I’ve got people to see and things to get on with.
So that is two out of the three title topics covered. Now this one is a minefield for comments to be fired back at me by people questioning my masculinity.
Glee. A guilty pleasure that I have got quite into since my trip away last year. When you spend so much time with your laptop, you eventually reach a point where you have watched everything you own twice and have to scrounge around for something to help preserve some level of sanity.
I happened to find the first half of the first season of the aforementioned american pop bullshit. At first I wanted to through up as I couldn’t consume any more cheese but… I caught myself on Google earlier trying to find out when the second half of the second season is coming out, because I’ve seen it all up to that part. What the??!?!!
I watch 5 episodes on the bounce the other night and I was getting caught up in it, big style. Not every episode is good but they never fail to make me want to watch the next one. It’s all pretty well done to be fair.
Enough of that cheese, a highly contributing factor to this is this… chicks dig it. A good mate from work helped me out at the start of the year by providing me the viewing of the second half of the first season around her gaff. Instant win with the missus too as I think she gets pretty into it. Well the fact that she sets her Sky to record it gives it away, and I can very easily imagine her sat on the sofa singing along to all the tracks that she knows and then crying when things get a little emotional. ^_^
The winner factor for me though is… ***does a quick check on Wiki***
Dianna Agron – Quinn
Heather Morris – Britney
Naya Rivera – Santana
Now is this the fact that they are on the TV, they’re playing roles as cheer leaders or is it the fact that…
Dianna (Quinn) dyed her hair red for some celeb bash and instantly raised her game or was it a photoshop effort… either way… Yum, Heather (Britney) did a couple tracks on the show and was proper dressed up and looking dead tasty and Naya (Santana) looks like she wouldn’t hold back and plays a character to match. Plus they are all pretty much my age in the real world… so now I don’t have to feel guilty when I watch it. Thanks Wiki.
Suddenly Glee is mildly acceptable, and even if you can’t stand the worst part about it, the American High School Concept… you can always stick it on mute.
Oh and the red headed teacher, Emma, she’s cute and she was in Heroes. An excuse to watch that series again. BOOM. lol.
Anyway that is enough about that. It is bad enough that the website is framed in purple. Cheers mum. ^_^
So that is me for now. It is a school night and all that.
Night Night.
