Songs that encapsulate the current mood:

Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers

Lean On Me - Also from Bill Withers, the man has a phenomenal voice, come to think of it, black people in general have superbly gifted voices.. There's a depth of feeling in the voice that's well nigh impossible to match.

Music is such a big part of my life, can't work without it, don't enjoy reading without it in the background.. Mind you, I don't actually play anything - my brief dalliance with actually contributing to the world's musical canon ended rather disastrously with my guitar being stolen as I overslept ;) Anyways, to stretch the sport as mistress ( Read more... )

Ah caught you smiling at me, That's the way it should be,
Like a leaf is to a tree, so fine. Man, there are times I really miss Pinto (my dog).. He died about ten years back now - it still hurts once in a while.. Proud bugger, never thought of himself as anything less than human, we grew up together, he's prob drawn blood enough times to leave ( Read more... )

"And so I (George) just thought I'll just go into the studio tomorrow and do one, and it happened that Jeff (Lynne of ELO) was working with Roy (Orbison - he of the phenomenal voice) and Roy wanted to come. My guitar was at Tom's (Petty) house for some reason and I had to go round and get it. And the only studio that we could find available ( Read more... )

Just finished The Da Vinci Code - found it a good fast-paced read that kept me really engaged for 450 odd pages.. It's probably perfect for a longish plane / train journey, a one-evening sort of book.

Dan Brown really isn't the greatest writer around though, his style leaves much to be desired.. Was talking to varshax and Vivek about this last night, it ( Read more... )
