Look left… links!

Just to say check out the links down the left hand side. Mainly random blogs/sites I have come across. Popjustice and Oh Manchester, so much to answer for particularly! Oh Manchester is some guy in the USA who seems particularly interested in UK music & less interestingly for me baseball But his music chat is v. v. good to read. Definatly check it out on a Sunday when he listens to the top 40 and comments on it track by track!

50 years of the greatest Hit Singles

I just *had* to comment on this as I am temporarily disturbed.
I’m sat having a lazy Saturday listening to music & reading blogs before preparing to shop & then do some uni work. I’ve borrowed a few cds to listen to and put on the above album. Its all fine.. we’ve got quality songs, Annie Lennox – Nothing compares to you, Oasis – Don’t look back in anger, The Kinks – Waterloo Sunset, David Bowie – Heroes etc etc. Then, out of nowhere, awkwardly positioned between Nothing compares to you and Love is all around we get Atomic Kitten – Whole again. I mean WHAT???
The other modern ones Britney – Baby one more time, Spice Girls – Wannabe, Kylie – Can’t get you out of my head you can see having a place there as they are monumentilish songs in the charts but there is one final oddity Steps – Tragedy ? Random

*Yawn*  end of first week back and I’m getting a tad weary.  I have no idea what possessed the Business School to organise a lecture on a Friday for 4pm – 6pm in Gibbet Hill, but its bloody tiring.

  This week has been spent mainly going to all my lectures (well all -2… which is good 4 me!) and planning election campaigns.  Now I’m not running myself but as Comms chair it means that we have to co-ordinate the whole election publicity extravaganza.  Union exec last night was very long too which doesnt aid the feeling awake process!

Score was v. cool on Wed.  I’m really enjoying this djing lark now, and surprisingly I’m not too bad at it . 

Tonight sees the launch of Reckless.. the new union dance night, so provided Carys gets her arse into gear i’ll be heading along there in a bit. 

See you all later, oh apart from that one person who you may not think I know ur reading this but I do… get over it please.  Remember me talking about tiresome things earlier!!

Trix xx ps. if anyone can help me out figureing out how to put a commenting thing in here i’ll be eternally greatful!

Ok… there has been a slight hiatus in blog updatage due to a few reasons:

1) Busted Computer : Woke up and computer had turned itself off. Won’t turn back on. Think it is just the power supply though so should be sorting it soon. I’m just nicking Carys machine at the mo.

2) Going back to Uni : Yeah i’m back in the bubble. Glad to be back this time acutally. LP is still exactly the same as it was.. they have done nothing to it. Not even sorted the lifts. GODDAMN.
Also I showed up at a new course’s 1st lecture on Monday & got told it had been cancelled, leaving me 12 cats short. Great. So i’ve spent all today trying to sort it out & have managed to wangle not picking a 12 cat dcs option but managing to get an unusual option from the Stats department. Bonus.

Oh and just so you get quite how crap LP is. They are turning the water off at 9am tomorrow for 8 hours. I mean really… wtf!!!

I have also made a decision that I’m not running for a sabbatical position. As much as I would love to do the job, I think that I really need to concentrate on my degree and I doubt that taking a year out in the middle is going to help it.

Well first of all I’d like to say that I HATE PAT .  He’s made his blog funky and I want a funky blog.  Rot in hell you bastard

Oh yeah. And then we get to Russ whose stolen my *cough* stolen idea.  You’re all fcukwits!  And I call you people my friends!!!

Anyway….

1. The Bluetones – Marblehead Johnson :  I don’t really know much about the bluetones at all.  Well s/much/anything – other than they have played at Warwick quite a bit.  Thats it.  Finito. End of all knowledge.  I like that song though. Vaguly remember it from younger years.  Ah yes it reached no 7 in 1996.. yeah that was my Spice Girl era

2. Lazard feat Beverly Craven – 4 o clock in the morning:  Qualitteeeeeeeee dance track.  Been about in the NW for about a year or so.  Probably more by now but doesnt seem to have spread down to the nether regions of the UK.  It bases itself on, if I remember correctly, a happy hardcore tune by Orca (i think) – 4am.   Not as cheesy as All Around the World stuff.  Vocals are very light & floaty and its altogether a fab tune to have a good old knees up to ( in the clubbers sense of a knees up )  Oh bugger me, I’ve just check AATW’s site and ooh look they have signed up lazard.  If flipping fill get their hands on it… I swear to god I’ll kill em.

3. The Divine Comedy – Everybody knows (except you):  Awh.  One of my absolute favourite tracks.  It is an joy everytime I hear this.  The simplicity of the track combined with the brilliance of the lyrics just makes it an absolute chooon.  I cannot believe it only reached no 14!  These pesky single buyers!

4. White Town – Your woman: Corker of a one hit wonder from back in 1997.  The quirkiness of the track propelled it to no1 and with a backtrack like it, how could it do anything but.  I never quite got it though!  I could never be your woman .  Well talk about stating the obvious. 

5. Hear’say – Lovin is easy  The first (and last) Hear’say single feat the new line up.  Well it was poppy, catchy and charted well (no 6).  But they split up in October this year.  I didn’t watch the original Popstars so can’t say I was particular arsed really.  Now the new bunch of popstars has rolled round and given us Girls Aloud & One True Voice.  Great names, peeps.  Girls Aloud look like they are going to have success … onto their 3rd week at no1 now, and unless David "the grin" Sneddon manages to throw them off with "Livin the lie", I reckon they will be there until T.A.T.U release "All the things she says" unless I have completely missed something HUGE when I looked through the up and coming new releases!

6. Mauro Picotto – Lizard (gonna get you)- Absolute stomper of a dance track from Picotto, who I partied away at Gatecrasher to back in August.  Play it at any night and the crowd goes wild.  This was the first offering the UK had of Picotto and he has since followed it up with tracks such as Pulsar, and the brilliant Komodo (Save a soul)

7. Boyzone – A Different Beat:  Back in the days of Boyzone, I thought that I really hated them.  Then Westlife came along, and I discovered what hate really was

So yeah. Its meant to be 10, but i’m bored so there you go 7 tough luck

Happy new year
