Music

by Old-Nick @ 2007-04-23 - 23:57:53

Just managed to work out how to replenish my MP3 player on this rubbish PC as the programme that came with it will not now get album information off the net.

It involved using windows media player, opening a file to veiw the stuff on the MP3 now and deleting it, so I could (and am doing as we speak) load up all the albums and tracks I have loaded into media player.

THANK GOD FOR THAT.

But having spent the last month or so listening to the same albums made me think. I was actually taking the music in more - I liked all the albums obviously but repeated listening made me like some of them a lot more and realise how good they were.

The thing is that when you have a lot of music, you stop listening properly. Gone are the days when I would sit down and just listen to an album properly - too much to do. And when I was younger I had far fewer albums so repeated playing of certain bands just made me more fond of the songs. And you spot more little bits you never noticed when you re listen regularly.

I do try to get some time to come in here, lower the lights or light some candles and just sit and listen to some music and really just let it work on me, make me see things and feel things. If it's an old one I will remember places and people and the feelings from that time, good and bad. If it's new or not been digested properly I just sit and enjoy it - listen to the production and playing (and find myself figuring out what the guitarist is up to and what effects he is using)

I must do it more often. It may calm me down a little in general.

(EDIT this went up in Channel 136 by mistake, I am not used to being multi-blogual yet)

(EDIT 2 I FUCKING HATE MP3 PLAYERS AND THIS FUCKING COMPUTER IN PARTICULAR - AFTER SITTING HERE AND TELLING ME IT WAS LOADING THE MP3, IT DID FUCK ALL AND I HAVE AN EMPTY MPCUNTING3 PLAYER.FUCK IT - IT AND THIS MACHINE ARE SO CLOSE TO BEING SMASHED TO BITS ITS UNTRUE!)

Blue cock hands free?

I just had to tear myself away from the fun here at the pc/coalface and have a “comfort break”

As I went into the toilet there was an IT guy stood at the urinal, with his cock in his hands, talking away on his stupid blue tooth headset.

Now I don’t know about you but I would be rather offended to discover somebody I was talking to on a mobile phone was holding his cock at the same time!

Well, I would if it was a work related call anyway.

Ahem.

:>

Bum holes!

This working properly lark ia a pain in the arse.

Gets in the way of all the essential blogging of bollocks that I need to do.

OK so work may be the thing that enables me to live my highly lavish lifestlye (ahem!) but ya gotta have some money from somewhere.

And it annoys me that I cant play with my friends.

I will try to catch up at home but it is a bit hard on our gas powered pc. It takes far too long to even switch between page veiws!

And I reeeeeely should try to spend time with the family rather than staring at a small glowing screen yadda yadda yadda.

Hope you are all having fun.

Lucky BASTARDS!

A little victory?

I mentioned last week that our signing in sheet had been changed and some boxes added for you to put the time you got in and the time you left in?

Well this morning it has gone back to normal and you just have to sign in (no time box). Which is as it should be as it is just supposedly for fire evacuations.

Could this be that myself and some of my collegues ignored all the other boxes and just put our signatures when we got in and refused to sign out?

Or have they just printed out the wrong sheet.

Hmmmm.

But on the plus side, as we are so busy there may be some paid overtime in the offing! Yay for extra money!
