Life Stories

Great lyrics by Just Jack.

This is for every life story
Every detail
Ex-dot com millionaires

Every ingrown toenail
Pile of junk mail
Driving test fail
Vain search for the Holy Grail

Every move you make
Every breath you take
Every 12 inch record your dumped girlfriend decided to break
And all the underachieving geezers getting more leaning and
Piza on melon Bacardi Breezers and skinny plastic

Lark – Bionic Mind

24 planets 24 doors
24 planets with 24 whores
do you need more?

24 rooms 24 floors
mirrors line 96 walls and all
make you feel tall

24 minutes 24 calls
24 hail mary’s or more
what is the score?

24 kittens 96 paws
land on all fours
with the dirty claws

24 lays 24 lies
24 calculated high fives
it’s just a game

24 planets 24 doors
24 planets with 24 … view full post

Everyone’s A Junkie

Hah I found it – the song that’s been singing in my head this week…

Big Green Monkey
Everyone’s A Junkie

Addictive chorus. It comes off (another Canadian great) Our Lady Peace’s ‘Spiritual Machines’. Their ‘Healthy In Paranoid Times’ album is what got me hooked and I think I have rockit … view full post

Daft Punk – Technologic

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
trash it, change it, melt – upgrade it,
charge it, pawn it, zoom it, press it,
snap it, work it, quick – erase it,
write it, get it, paste it, save it,
load it, check it, quick – rewrite it,
plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
drag and drop it, zip – unzip it,
lock it, fill it, … view full post

A national disgrace

Lying in front of the tv last night – like I usually do looking exactly like Jack’s insomnia scene from Fight Club – I happened to stumble on an Earth Report on BBC World called Children of Rio.

The report focuses on the 10 years between … view full post

Long Live gallery

Sarah has uploaded her photos from Sunday’s paintball game in Melkbos. Visiting her site reminded me of the Long Live gallery, a photographic exhibition by Raymond Preston.

a collection of 117 black-and-white photographs of South Africans – from leaders to ordinary people – caught up in the mayhem of apartheid and its collapse.

3 Doors Down – Ticket To Heaven

I’m pretty useless when it comes to song lyrics, I usually don’t listen very carefully because I concentrate more on the melody, so when I do try sing along it’s my own interpretation which is almost always completely wrong.

I’ve been listening to the new 3 Doors Down album, ‘Away From The Sun’, for the past week. It’s official release … view full post
