Drifting into my solitude

[rebness]

This is a gamble, because airiddh1 and ladydaydream are likely to smack me for debasing the original, but this is making me so happy right now, on repeat for the fifth time. Ahahhaa!

Whee! :D After insect drama too traumatic to go into and annoying busy crap all this week, catching up with friends and family and having songs on repeat and cooking (when not screaming in terror at insects) is pretty fun.

Heehee... it definitely got me more interested in The Bowie. I ended up looking up the history of the song and found it really interesting. My brothers are convinced Bowie is God and have been trying to get me to listen to him properly for ages (of course, am already a fan of songs like Life on Mars and Diamond Dogs) so I think I'm going to actually try one of his albums now. Recommendations? >:)

(Also, Life on Mars = lyrical genius.)

your brothers are - of course correct!

Its nowhere near as bad as I feared it would be - I like FF - after all they are Scottish (its your love of THE most miserable band in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE let alone Sctland I don't get! Travizzzzzzzzzzz....!!). My ptonlem is tho that I can;t in my mind hear anyone but God singing it even when I'm hearing someone else!!!

BTW - you want Bowie music - I'm happy to supply you with endless amounts!!!

Yaay! Well, thankfully God didn't strike them down for the cover - He said He was really happy with it - it was done for an album for Radio 1 to celebrate forty years of the station. Check out The Streets' cover of Your Song on Youtube for a true murder of a classic song.

Aww! Poor Travis!

I think the reason I love Franz so much is that even when they sing about darker stuff like losing someone or World War I, they maintain a silly and cheerful demeanour, never taking themselves too seriously. I can't bear this current rash of feel-bad music - Coldplay, Keane, Katie Melua, Athelete - "Whoooah life's so baaaad I cry myself to sleeeep" - I mean, what purpose does it serve? Everyone likes a weepy song every now and then, but a whole album? A whole movement?

I even like Franz's cheeky Scottishness. One of their new songs is called English Goodbye. >:p

I would be so grateful for some Bowieness!

teehee! I must listen to that sometime! I'm totally with you on the depressing music thing! There is far too much woe is me music at the moment! I don't mind some of it - but one track at a time please - with long gaps inbetween!! FF are a nice antidote to the dreariness! One of the best things Scotland has produced in a LONG time! but Travizzzzzz I think fit the dreay catagory - I mean Why Does It Always Rain On Me - the ultimate woe is me song!! (Hey - my two musical idols are Bowie and Prince - I just don't DO dreary! I like flamboyance - oh - and men in makeup obviously!!!)

Email me your adddy and I'll send you some Bowie - lots of Bowie if you want it. Is there any particular period you're interested in?

LMFAO!! You would have been so mad at me and Pen in Barcelona -- we were proper bopping along to Why Does it Always Rain on Me at the encore!

I'm not au fait with the best of Bowie -- I'll just trust you to pick me a fine selection. Thank'ees! :D

Aha I see Airiddh1 has beaten me to offering to send you a selection. Trying to get me to choose a particular Bowie album is like a kid being in a sweet shop! :D
