Just Because



An old photograph that always makes me smile.

Happy Anzac Day. I think it means more to me than Australia Day.

I just wish I had made better use of the day.

Rambles I

[ music - the libertines ]

Do I dye my hair black or blonde?

I have six days to decide and I don't have a clue.

Help me through this crisis

Music III

Please comment if you take, or have any questions, requests, suggestions etc.

Patrick Wolf - A Boy Like Me
This song is classic Patrick Wolf, and a lot different from the material on his soon-to-be-released third album. I really don't know how to describe his work.. layered, electro, sometimes eerie and wonderfully British. Can't say I'm surprised he was bullied so badly at school, but at least he gets the last laugh!

Crowded House - It's Only Natural
Am ready to sell soul for reunion tour tickets. Honestly, I could have uploaded any song off their greatest hits.

Sonic Youth - Dirty Boots
Moody, simmering grunge at its finest? The 'chorus' takes an age to kick in, yet that's the beauty of it. Probably tastes like shit at first, but keep at it til it becomes irresistable.

Enjoy x

Music II

Please comment if you take, or have any questions, requests, suggestions etc.

Beck - Girl: Bit Rate Variations In B Flat Version [Remix by Paza of The X-Dump]

Beck's loveable hit single from 2005's Guero gets a makeover- for a Gameboy game! This interesting remix, has even more beeps than the original. Wish the Gameboy games I used to have featured music as good as Beck's!

Graham Coxon - Don't be a Stranger

This is quite a gem! It's a little bit raw, a little bit quirky, a little bit indie. It's unconvential pop-rock that will stick in your head. Would you expect any less from Blur's ex-guitarist? No :] Now please, go back and reconcile with Damon and Co. - they need you!

Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have to Love

Yeah, I know. Everyone has this song. But, it is very beautiful, very edgy. Conor's voice is haunting, with angsty, yet refreshing lyrics. Really quite perfect.

Music I

Hello! And welcome to my first music post. I will use this space to upload three various songs at a time, available for you to download if they take your fancy. Please comment if you take, or have any questions, requests, suggestions etc.


Ben Folds - Such Great Heights

Ben Folds, the piano man, takes The Postal Service's indie staple and gives it a fresh twist. It's a little faster, louder, and well worth a listen.

Jeff Buckley - Last Goodbye

Not sure if it's my favourite from Buckley's first and only studio album, Grace, but it would have to come close. Twinkling guitars, beautiful vocals and pretty lyrics makes this a gorgeous, memorable track from a truly brilliant musician.

The Doors vs Blondie - Rapture Riders

As a big Doors fan, I am probably supposed to hate this. But I can't. This mash-up is damn groovy, and both artists are suprisingly compatible. May be an advantage if you are familiar with the originals, but still addictive. (It did take me a few listens, though).

Enjoy x
