my most able companion for the past ten odd years..through the easy and difficult times..through my joy and depression..through happiness and sadness..a friend for all seasons..i'm sorry i tattoo-ed you against your will and i'm sorry for making you play backstreet boys, britney spears and the sort..rest in peace my friend..live forever!now that i'm in the mood, let me just do a brief recollection of my sinful obsession..
1. first cd ever bought:
ukelele greatest hits from bedok central (i threw it away i think!)..for the record, one of the rare cds (the one i remember at least!) still existing in my collection today from that infancy stage is oasis' (what's the story) morning glory?..that, and the backstreet boys' debut album..yes, i still have that too!
2. most frequently listened to genre:
u.k. indie
3. best concert attended so far:
coldplay (and travis) and coldplay (again)!
4. favourite solo artist:
tommy page..yeah i know..sucker..
5. all time favourite song:
oasis - champagne supernova..almost therapeutic effect when put on repeat and play it loud when in a really really lousy mood..inspirational when in a really really good mood..did i mention that it is quite a really really good song? it is you know?
6. most underrated band:
mansun and embrace..they have some really good stuff but i don't think they are given enough credit..if i had to cut it to one, i'd say mansun because i'm listening to them now and they are also less likely to appear on those britband and rock compilations!
7. favourite band:
just a decade and my cd collection has surpassed the millenium mark..from coldplay to radiohead to ash to feeder to oasis to blur to muse to so many others..but the band that still stands out for me is pulp..look out for jarvis' new album due in november!
i could go on and on and on about the music i like but this is basically it in a cd single format with a few extra bonus tracks..
cheers!
so this is it..my birthday post..no mushy "thank you"s..no overly ambitious wishes..just an entry on a topic close to heart. that is not to say, i do not appreciate the thoughts and the many birthday greetings i got. i do, but how do you respond to "happy birthday" when you are not truly happy? "thank you"? but friends who have known me a long time will know that i am not person to say things i do not really feel..and somehow sending "thanks but i'm not really happy" just does not cut it either..so instead, i keep my peace and (as we say in church) my peace i give to you. i hope you can understand and i apologise for my rudeness..but that is all you will get from me - an apology. no "thank you"..
oh electric man..
- mansun
thanks kenneth for last night..i needed that badly..
