A couple of pics added to the weekend party post. Including some typically weird-arse photography from Len Weigh.

A song I listen to when I'm sad. Well, Dark Tranquillity's Projector album is pretty much chock-full of songs one can listen to when wanting to wallow in their misery for a while (and come out feeling a little better on the other side). If I had to choose one song from there though (which by the rules of the meme I do), I would say Nether Novas.

Amanda Palmer on why people like us like Lady Gaga:

Surprise writing day! My rehearsal for The Wind that Shakes the Barley was cancelled due to my castmate Leigh being ill, which was both irritating and constructive. Irritating because if I'd known I didn't have to be up so early, I could have stayed up slaying zombies with Charlotte for longer. (Love is lying on top of each other while slaughtering ( Read more... )

A song I listen to when I'm happy. I guess I could say Chrome by VNV Nation for this one. It's got a great bouncy beat to it that's excellent for dancing. The lyrics aren't exactly happy, but it really does set up a great party mood, especially after you've seen or even heard it live. Always goes down a treat in clubs, too.

A song I listen to when I'm angry. Lately, that would be Sonata Arctica's Don't say a Word. It's an incredibly angsty and angry song, and a lot of fun to sing when you're pissed off; especially the lines, "Open up your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore / Make me believe although I know you're lying ( Read more... )

Finally remembered to update my Paul Di'Anno entry with my photo with the man!

A song from my favourite album. Once again, "favourite album" isn't exactly the easiest thing to define, so I'm going to use my iTunes top 25 as my guide. The album represented the most there - the only album with more than one entry, in fact - is Dark Tranquillity's Fiction. And since I've already posted The Mundane and the Magic, have Misery's ( Read more... )

Today's word goal reached! 5,500, bringing me to 40,000 in total for this draft. Half down, half to go, looking good.

Now to get out of this freezing cold fucking office!

A song I wish I heard on the radio. Well, that really could be any number of things. Still, I'm going to push it as much as possible, and say that I wish we lived in a world where mainstream radio would play things like the experimental Progressive Metal masterpieces of Porcupine Tree. If the radio could handle something like this, we'd have a ( Read more... )
