It’s Monday and I haven’t done anything interesting

So, I’ve listened to over half of the Triple J Hottest 100 of all time – what a trip back to High School that was.  I was having flashbacks to school dances and of being unsociable in my room listening to Jeff Buckley and The Cure.  It was a good afternoon of music on Sunday topped off with a Nirvana classic – oh to be a misunderstood teenager again. 

But I didn’t go anywhere, or take any pictures. I did successfully manage to apply for two jobs in the UK (successfully as in the online application system appeared to send away my files to wherever their destination may be) which took some time and I’ve got a few more to go over the next few weeks.  Hopefully the effort will be well received.  I think I’m in need of practice doing up job applications, as I haven’t had to do one for a few years now.  I think they were ok but time will tell.  Maybe I’ll trawl through the archives and find some colourful pictures to post till I get around to doing something more exciting.

Top ten songs of all time

Like the book (still unknown) that could change your life, I’m having trouble picking my top ten songs of all time for the Triple J Hottest 100 of all time.  I’ve had a look at other people’s top ten lists and checked out the forums but how to narrow it down to just ten songs?  Looking at others lists just makes it worse because I see songs and think “I definitely have to include that one” but there’s only so much room.  The Cure, Jeff Buckley, Tori Amos and maybe even Massive Attack would make the list but it’s hard whittling down the song choice.

On the Triple J website there seems to be a definite lean towards Joy Division’s Love will tear us apart and there’s still a chance for Rick Astley who apparently has a growing campaign trying to RickRoll the votes.  It’s sparked all sorts of debate about what to vote for and how to vote.  Does one leave a beloved yet obscure song off the list because it has little chance of making it into the 100 and vote for a more popular song that you like although not as much as the other you left off the list?  Decisions, decisions… Anyone else have top ten suggestions?

I wish I was…

…at Coachella music festival this weekend and so do you.  Don’t deny it.  I wanna see The Cure again.
