MIDNIGHT CIRCUS / THE FLYS 1974 - 81 This was Neil O'Connor's band. Originally called Midnight Circus in 1974 and after punk they were known as The Flys. I came across Midnight Circus through singer songwriter Phil Knapper (Stu knapper's brother). Phil had hitched around Finland with Neil, Alex...
vox.com has these questions of the day. They're meant to give people ideas for things to write about. I was browsing through them today, and one from a few weeks ago asked for your take on the ten best songs of 2007. Now, 2007 was not nearly a 'normal' year. I've listened to more radio since Shane...
"No, we are not expecting any large and suspicious packages from the Department Of Defence this week. Mark it 'not known at this address'. No, I doubt it will explode." -My father in Abu Dhabi, reassuring me that the strangely heavy manila envelope marked with 'Defence' labels which turned up in our...

I've been chillaxin in my room discovering new music and the Gilmore Girls, first season. This is a Sister influence, so I'm indulging and loving. It's shitty enjoying this alone. It's pretty much the theme of late. I need a change. I miss my Lakes. And so, the Sister, she went home today. It wasn't...
Strange that I should read this this morning, after having only a day or so ago posted a poem of my own to make comment on Howard Shore's song "Into the West". You see there's another poem I could have included in that post to talk to as well, namely "Ulysses" (aka "Odysseus") by Alfred Tennyson,...

After work today I went to the same nearby place, the same park bench by a silver lake, and thought much what I thought several years ago now, back when I wrote the following after a succession of hours. I wrote it on an autumn evening rather than summer, while I whiled away the hours just watching...

Ah, summer. On some office lunch-break days, I walk around the city to air my thoughts and drop by St. Francis church to keep those same thoughts in perspective. I'm not particularly religious (more spiritual) but the solemnity of the church somehow recharges me. Today is special because I have some...
Buying mp3s online can be an extremely frustrating experience. Even today, after DRM has been soundly shouted down from every tech pulpit in the United States, many online mp3 sellers still continue to sell mp3s encumbered with DRM. Steve Jobs likes to spout a lot of blather about how much he...

"...Emma is the sun and the moon in Queen Tantrum Rocks!!! and her spirit simmers to a boil in her vocal performances. "WAITING" is her signature song, and you get the feeling she and the band are just starting to get their mojo working. More to come, in other words. As if she were the Annie...
Last week was crazy at work (and still is this week). I tend to listen to my old faves when I'm that busy (see Annie Lennox, Lloyd Cole, Heart, The Pretenders, Lone Justice). Lone Justice was a band I listened to in the late 80's, when I'd just moved to Austin. I had their first album on vinyl and...
I listened to Serendipity's soundtrack yesterday and Winamp played Annie Lennox's Waiting in Vain. It came across my mind her another song that was so popular back in my secondary school days in M'sia. I still remember how freaky the MV was. Surprisingly it brought back some old days memories to me....
The music is pretty naff, imo - I listened to Annie Lennox while watching it, and it didn't seem out of place.
