I so badly want to be a huge Bowie fan, but I think I'll never get past the couple albums I love, and just singles in general.

You're doing better than me, given I'm only really into Station To Station.

Though I'm using a song from Low in DI.

I stick to that period for the most part, I suppose: Station to Station, Low, and Heroes are the only albums of his I consistently listen to....and the Labyrinth soundtrack

Bowie was epic as Tesla in The Prestige.

That he was....that he was.

That he was....that he was.

Mythbusters have tested some of Tesla's theories. It's awesome when he's proved right. Like when they got the bridge to bounce with that teeny tiny actuator.

I just wish Tesla would get his rightful place in history

Yeah, I didn't learn anything about him in science classes in school. I think he was brilliant. He's always portrayed (except in The Prestige) as some sort of crackpot.

Well..I actually have to do some work....

I'll be back later.

See ya

 

[bono_212]

See ya, Diane.


I don't know how much longer I'm going to last tonight.

Sorry I'm not posting so much ... I suppose it still qualifies as posting a lot compared to everyone else anyway.

 

[bono_212]

The more you post, the more I have someone to talk to, the more likely I am to stay

 

[Axver]

Well, let's see ... Amazon's going to screw me over on postage. Oh how lucky I am to live at the arse end of the world!

 

[bono_212]

What are you getting?

 

[Reggo]

gah, my stupid headset is so freakin uncomfortable!

Books! New and old!

 

[Axver]

What are you getting?

Not entirely sure yet ... might have to scale it back given how much they want to slug me for postage even at the cheapest rate.

 

[Axver]

Books! New and old!

But why do they want to buy them from me?

I like that one of the "active discussions in related forums" is entitled "male circumcision".

Haven't you heard what greens DO to a man?

This makes me kind of glad I can't eat them anymore.

Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd.

Yes, I think I will use it

I...I think I've picked all my songs

I'm using Interstellar Overdrive in my list. Makes for a good pairing with Red by King Crimson.

I've discovered Teenagers by MCR flows well into Run Like Hell, so I'm going to use that pairing somewhere. Maybe at the end, to finish on a WTF moment.

False Alarm

 

[major_panic]

Currently listening to: Black Holes and Revelations by Muse. Holy shit, this is an amazing album. I'm kind of surprised that I didn't really like it the first couple of times I listened to it, but I suppose I'm slightly more into the alt-rock than I used to be.

 

[Axver]

I'm fairly proud of the way I've decided to end this list ... and I hope the start messes with some minds. It'll certainly weed out who wants to actually listen to the list and who's completely dismissive of music without vocals, that's for sure.

I still rate it as easily the worst Muse album.

Starlight's a good song though.
