Music Tag...Redone!

I was browsing through my old archives and found an old music tag that I had done. Name your top 10 most played bands on Last.fm and then answer some questions. My top ten list has changed considerably since then and I think its interesting enough (at least for me!) to do again. The 2006 June list is shown and the 2007 list is shown below. And the tag too!

Their eponymous album, The Doors, a classic!

Enclose me in your gentle rain...

Hallowed be thy name.
Arguably the best heavy metal song...ever!

Listening the doors and trying to sink into the meaning itself is a good memory.

Disraeli Gears
, in my opinion.

14.What is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

From Stairway to Heaven.

Well, there are so many great songs...I chose Getting better last time, this time I will go with With a little help from my friends.

All of my love.
Plant wrote this song a memorial to his 5 year old son, who died while he was on tour. You can feel the pain in the words.


20.What is a great memory you have considering 9?

Nothing great as such...there is still time! ;-)


Changes

Couple of additions to the blog! Couple of new widgets from Last.fm. One list my top artists of the month and the second is a music player playing the songs I have playlisted. Player can either play the songs in their entirety in a shuffled mode or you can individually select the songs. In the latter event only a 30 second clipping will be played. Only a few soft songs has been selected for your auditory pleasure ;-) No hard rockers or heavy metal stuff!

And oh yeah! I turned 23 a couple of days back! So happy birthday to me!

Rock On...

El Driver!

It was about time...



Rockus looks like a brute and at times down right menacing! Someone who rides a H.O.G or a J.C.B! :-P



Reality...He has ridden/driven:

1. Suzuki Samurai at the Age of 15 (4 Yards)

2. Honda Activa at the Age of 21 (40 Yards)

3. Maruti 800 at the Age of 8 (400 Yards...if you count holding the steering as driving :-D)



The Ek Karod ka Sawaal!



What? Why? Why not? (granted there is three...but the booty is large enough to justify it!)



1. He doesn't like meddling with others stuff...

2. He didn't have time for driving classes...

3. He was just plain lazy to learn since he couldn't afford to buy a bike...



Now...



Staring at a Bullet (with apprehension and a pair of very scared parents!)



P.S: In short, I started taking driving lessons and doing quite ok. Just hope the pedestrians feel the same too! :-P

Duh!

Just sitting here screaming on top of my voice along with Ozzy Osbourne (Paranoid is the song fyi) makes me wonder...how my neighbours are standing this unearthly sounds at this ungodly hour???



People are strange...me, you, everybody...

I always wondered, how easily some people make conversation and drag on for hours...and here I am, just able to converse enough to save my life! Its a crappy feeling sometimes...still...people are different...

I used to be very worried about the same thing when I was younger. Thought of myself as a loser and was too shy to do anything...I have changed over the period of time and feels pretty smug about myself these days!

Even then I couldn't feel reminiscing about the days when I hear "How soon is now?" by The Smiths...A remarkable song indeed...



This is a video from Youtube featuring a sitcom called Charmed. Apparently Charmed features a cover version of the song and people decided to do one with the original song...Anyways enjoy the great great song...I especially love the tremolo effect of the guitar! :-)


I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say?
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved...
Just like everybody else... does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I'm the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say?
I go about things the wrong way
I am human and I need to be loved...
Just like everybody else... does
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet someone
Who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home
And you cry and you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
