God, I'm bored

Apr 21, 2007 19:50

I'm meant to be working, on what's turning out to be the world's most repetitive editing job. So memes brighten my day with their inherent work-avoidance qualities.

Here's a really pointless one! From ptyx. ( What American accent do you have? )

Ahhhhhhhhhh! I didn't see your music-pictures meme. Wah! I'd have got the Small Faces!!! *nodsnods* I was going to marry Steve Marriot when I was 3. :D He was my first ever love.

Haha! He's very cute and they all look about twelve in that picture. I love the Small Faces. 'All or Nothing' makes me shiver every time I hear it.

My parents still mention it on occasion, ehehehe. But yes. GAH! "All or Nothing" is a GREAT track. I like them all, but I do think that's my favourite.

I cried when he died. I'd long got over him, ehe, but it was just very sad. >.

According to that meme some Americans may mistake me for a Canadian....and supposedly I sound like the characters in "Fargo"?

The only Canadian-sounding Mid-Westerner, I presume.

Aw. You would know them all, anyway. Mike Scott's a bit wacky but sweet too.

I didn't see DW last night -- was it any good?

WTF?

What American accent do you have?

Well, you've lived all over the place, so maybe you've picked up a bit of everything. Or maybe the quiz is just rubbish.
You know I read 'spatcheler' in a JFK/Mayor Quimby accent -- is that the one you mean?

Any particular album you think I should start with?
Like the Kinks, there are loads of compilation sets. But I think the Small Faces Ultimate Collection is one of the best.
Actually I've just looked at amazon.com and it's stunningly expensive ($24 as opposed to £7 on the UK site).
But! A seller in Fla is also selling it for £7 new (under the 'More Buying Choices' link).

I'll upload one of their tracks later to let you hear them.

Exactly-- imagine my amazement when I read "spatula" for the first time. We also had a neighbor to whom my father referred as "Tanyer". Poor Tanya, she was a lovely woman really.

Okay, I just listened to the song you uploaded and I don't think it's really my kind of music. I can hear why it's good, but, hmm, maybe a little too British 60s R&B for my tastes. Is all their music like the song you uploaded (All or Nothing)?

Well, when I saw the price you might have to pay for a CD without knowing whether you'd like the music, it was obviously better to upload one of their tracks to let you hear it first. Sorry you didn't like it very much! Their later stuff is different -- fairly psychadelic and pretty quirky (a bit too quirky for me, like some of the Kinks' material) but I especially love their early material. But you might find happier listening elsewhere.
