What are you listening to? - Page 33

Found an album a while back that I used to have on vinyl back in my college days and downloaded it. I just found it tonight whilst rummaging around in my music folder so I thought I'd give it a bit of a listen for the first time in about twenty years.

The album is "From her to eternity" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Christ almighty, I used to listen to some weird stuff back in the day

First track is a Leonard Cohen track called "Avalanche" - and is trés strange. I Googled the lyrics for the song and it's actually quite a well thought out song which Cave manages to mangle in his own inimitable style.

I'm currently listening to a rendition of the Elvis standard, "In the Ghetto" which he, thankfully, doesn't mangle.

I'm looking forward to "Wings off flies" - one of my favourites

"Tonight I'll sing my songs again,
I'll play the game and pretend.
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me."

Amongst my favourite lyrics evar

Kinda appropriate, seeing as I'm stuck on the bloody rig for another two weeks

I've got such lovely memories involving Simon and Garfunkel music.

My current memory of S&G is the camp over at Mister Fakesnakes....

We had consumed vast amounts of alcohol and I had basically passed out into my sleeping bag (after a nice back massage from Dymmy boy!) and within a few hours I realised there was music playing...

... it was Fakesnakes ipod player on loop - one of which was "bridge over troubled water". After about an hour of listening to the same songs again and again (along with intermittent snoring

) and being unable to move an inch due to my alochol consumption, I finally managed to crawl out of our section (over picky... think I kneed him a bit) then flop over Belmit and roll over to the pod and turn it off.

... as much as I love S&G... it was heeeeeeeeeeavenly for it to stop.

Awww. Belmit and Garpy looked sooo cute all huddled up in their sleeping bags.

I think I was uber drunk.

I still had my pirate bandana on!

And not much else.

Also Prince's new album PLanet Earth is worth a listen. Not all great, but some good ones on there.

Thanks for the reminder - forgot I'd picked that one up.

Currently listening to "Until We Sleep" from the album "About Face" by David Gilmour - good, honest 80s rock
