Health-Type Update
For anyone still actively interested in my ongoing health stuff - I finally got to see someone at a specialist unit yesterday, who concurred with my completely unprofessional opinion that I have had post-viral fatigue. As with other conditions, please do not equate 'fatigue' with 'a wee bit tired'. I have basically been running off adrenaline with ( Read more... ) -

A Song You Listen To When Angry
Unlike some other emotions (coming up in the next few days), when I am angry I actually listen to angry songs. And it doesn't get any angrier than hardcore. That's hardcore of the punk/metal crossover variety, rather than dance.
Have a bit of Hatebreed, guys. It's music made for lifting weights to. While gurning. And ( Read more... ) -

A Song From Your Favourite Album
My favourite album is "Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness" by The Smashing Pumpkins. I first heard it when I was 15. If you didn't hear your favourite album for the first time when you were between 13 and 16, I pity your teenage years.
It's an inevitable truth that all things start to lose their passion and ( Read more... ) -

A Song You Wish You Heard On The Radio
This one is a no-brainer. I will let the lyrics speak for themselves. Not least because it means I can get away with writing this lazy preamble and move swiftly onto doing my Batman: Arkham City review.

A Song You Hear Often On The Radio
Another tricky one, mainly because I avoid listening to the radio. I'm far too much of a musical control freak to allow someone else to pick the songs I am listening to unless I have good reason to (e.g. going to a club, being played music by a friend). Three choices therefore present themselves:

A Song You Used To Love, But Now Hate
So this meme is back, after a break of only five damn months. And annoyingly for a return effort this one gave me a bit of a difficult time, as I simply wasn't sure where to look. I am lucky/unlucky enough that the vast majority of the bands I have listened to over the years still provide me with entertainment ( Read more... ) -
"swimming in saltwater"
So, pretty much radio silence from me since May. The lack of activity really isn't restricted to Livejournal, unfortunately. So what has actually happened within the last 3 and a half months ( Read more... ) -
Riots, Sweeping Statements & Idiots
I am getting really sick of people who think that the riots have to polarise you as being pro- or anti-authority. You can believe that our society has problems with the distribution of wealth and resources and yet also believe that looting, destruction of property and mindless violence are inherently wrong ( Read more... ) -

A Song That Describes YouI could post a song a day from now until The Rapture v3 and not run dry of music that I feel describes me. Surely one of the purposes of composition since the first time someone hit a rock with a stick is to create sound that resonates in the hearts and minds of everyone who hears it ( Read more... )
