Just the right kind of lovely slush for a little celebration.
*gets out the bubbly.*


P.S.:
(Oh, and since palindromes are lovely too: How You See the World No. 2 is my 3003st.
Wonderful track. I regularly wanna die for joy at 3'32''. And they're not even milking it. Amazing.)]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2007/02/03/4d3g_please_don%27t_hurt_me.

Everything's Coming Our Way (played straight from the CD) showed up as Musical Tribute To the Oscar Mayer Weiner Wagon - Baroques.

Oh no. Now the Mistagging Police is gonna come and get me. I can hear them already. "We're gonna make you take a ride on the Oscar Mayer Weiner Wagon, b*tch!!"
Eeep. I didn't mean to. Honestly.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/06/04/4d3f_i_surrender Sun, 4 Jun 2006 19:17:16 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/06/04/4d3f_i_surrender Okay, it's happened. Last night. I've come around.

After about 5 years of struggling tooth and nail against it, I had to admit that I actually do like Yellow.

Ah well. It had to happen some day.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/04/17/4d3e_the_shuffle_oracle Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:46:06 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/04/17/4d3e_the_shuffle_oracle At the risk of being really uncool for writing one of these list/quiz entries... here's something I found at one my neighbours:

Stolen from Wezzo]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/03/22/4d3d_no,_they_are_actually_women%3F%3F%3F Wed, 22 Mar 2006 23:31:24 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/03/22/4d3d_no,_they_are_actually_women%3F%3F%3F What is it with people and tagging every female artist as being female?
Take Kirsty MacColl for instance - 12 tags marking her as female/woman/girl of some kind.

You gotta be kidding!! You mean she's actually a woman?? *gasp*

Sorry, folks, it's late, and I felt like a rant. I'll probably find it completely reasonable tomorrow morning.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/03/03/4d3c_morphine_flashback Fri, 3 Mar 2006 13:25:23 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/03/03/4d3c_morphine_flashback How lovely to hear Candy on my neighbour radio just now. If there's one thing that helped me survive getting up at 5.30am every morning in spring 1994, it was that track. Together with Jacobi marchait, possibly.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/01/22/4d3b_new_listening_habits Sun, 22 Jan 2006 00:45:15 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/luckymagenta/journal/2006/01/22/4d3b_new_listening_habits What a nice little gadget.

Only thing is, I'm afraid I'll only listen to half the songs from now on ("ok, that's been audioscrobbled, onto the next...")

Wonder whether that'll revolutionise the music industry. Like, in the future, songs will feature two lines, then chorus, then chorus repeated, and then fade-out for the remaining song.

Or something.]]>
