For two years straight, the only albums my father would play in the car were Moby’s Play and Beck’s Odelay. As a young little thing, I was prone to car sickness and as a result, I can’t listen to either of these albums without feeling extremely nauseous. If I am in a public place and, like, “Bodyrock” or “Devils Haircut” comes on the radio, I am liable to turn grey and clammy and have to leave immediately before I throw up. And don’t even get me started on “Natural Blues”. “Natural Blues” just reminds me of being stuck in our old Volkswagen Golf on a hot day and feeling queasy.
In other news, I cannot wait to have children, so I can overplay Beyonce’s 4 to the point that they feel physically ill when they hear the intro to “Countdown”.
Biz Markie -Just A Friend
I’ll never tire of this song or video.
Don McLean -Starry Starry Night
I’ve checked my bank account, and things are grim. Luckily, this time last year, I was shown this song and all is peaceful at camp Mark. I’ve gambled 15 quid online, bought myself a lovely watch (a tradition when I get a new job) and now I’m left massively underpaid with only a couple of hundred to my name. But with this, and Emily by my side, I don’t need much more.
Peace.
Orbital -Belfast
I’m ending with this tonight. Life is beautiful. Enjoy it.
Primal Scream -Come Together
Some cunt stole my copy of this album, twice, Screamadelica is the reason I no longer lend albums out to people. But, in-keeping with the spirit of the album (plus my first beers in a long time), live and let live. I hope whoever thieved them is enjoying them, and I mean that sincerely! Life’s too short for hatred and fear.
System of a Down -Shimmy
Whilst travelling down to the beautiful haven of Brighton recently with Small Company and the rest of the crew, this came on the iPod. One of Nu Metal’s high lights, easily. It reminds me of Coke and doing sit ups before hitting the beer many moons back.
Grand Theft Auto IV Myths & Legends on Youtube. Superb, providing you’re a fellow GTA obsessive!
Weezer -Death & Destruction
Is there anyway I can hide the comments from appearing on every Youtube video I look at? I just want to hear a load of songs or see some great art, documentaries, old movies and so forth, without reading the pointless self-absorbed bull slang the appears at the bottom of every fucking video on there!
A filter for “#Cats” would be handy for my Internet too. Please help!
Grimes -Oblivion
I found this on my travels at the very start of the year. Since then, it’s got the recognition it deserves. I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve posted it!
Radiohead -True Love Waits
Regardless of what your thoughts on Radiohead are, early or late, guitars or synths etc, there’s no denying that Thom Yorke can write a great love song when he wants. I never remember this song, but I should.
Randy Newman -Rollin’
This having only 54 views is just criminal. It’s beautiful. “Not a single fuck was…” etc, etc, etc.
Pearl Jam -Betterman
I’m so hit and miss with Pearl Jam. Sometimes, they’re kings amongst men and soar, others, I really can’t be arsed with them. This is their finest hour.
Bush -Swallowed
Some Brit-influenced grunge-lite for a lovely Summer’s evening!
REM -Stand
“If you are confused, check with the sun”
