Jan. 17th, 2008 09:25 pmAnd this is why I didn't even bother to call the prompts drabbles. Over six hundred words just to set the stage. I am just a wordy, wordy person. And at the same time, how pathetic. I've had Word open in front of me all evening and I've only managed to come up with six hundred words. And yet I've managed to come up with almost as much in half an hour of blather and babble, here on lj. *sigh*
On the plus side, hey, good music on the radio. I actually managed to tune in to Virgin UK at the appropriate time and caught the last hour and a half of the Geoff Show, which is my very favorite. Honestly, the only time I don't like the music they play is during the Party Classics on the weekends - a mix of crappy eighties dance music which is pretty much the same as eighties night on any station anywhere (and it isn't that I don't like eighties dance music, it's just that it is almost never want I want to listen to when I've tuned in to internet radio).
It was a funny coincidence - they have some sort of email/text in with the first music you bought and they might play it if they have it. So when they mentioned this, my mind drifted back to the first record I bought. I'm not really sure what it was. One of three things - either Dream of the Blue Turtles (Sting), Tears For Fears, or A-Ha. I think it may have been the A-Ha (I was madly in love with Take On Me once upon a time). That's the one that came to mind, certainly. And then five minutes later, as if they'd read my mind, Take On Me started playing. *grins* I know, a perfect example of crappy eighties music, but I was young at the time and knew no better.
We had a fun special event at work today. The River City Percussion Duo set up in the gym and gave us quite a performance. I love live music of almost any sort but unfortunately, I rarely get out to actually see any, so all of these little things we do with the kids give me as much pleasure as them, I'm sure.
And now for a little music meme: ten songs that I really love at the moment, in no particular order.
1. Any McDonald - Mr. Rock and Roll
2. Nickelback - Rock Star
3. Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
4. The Killers - Mr. Brightside
5. KT Tunstall - Big Black Horse and a Cherry Tree
6. Jack Johnson - If I Had Eyes
7. Scouting for Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead
8. The Kooks - She Moves in Her Own Way
9. Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
10. Arctic Monkeys - Flourescent Adolescent
11. Harvey Danger - Helicopter (yeah, I know, more than ten, but I really love this song so suck it up, yo)
My taste in music is in constant flux - one thing has held pretty steady for the past fifteen years or so, I can't stand a lot of what gets played on the top forty stations here. Otherwise it swings back and forth between 70s progressive rock, chick music, borderline alternative, renaissance madrigals, to anything with lots of guitar in it. Right now I seem to be in love with young U.K. bands.
