Sitting in front of the comp after a couple days sorting mail, chatting with long lost and not so long lost friends on google talk and thus, am doing smiley's the way they were mean to be and not some yellow animated thing that I want to stab. Also in attendance are a glass of whiskey (15 year old Glenfiddich), strains of Dave Matthew (Lie in Graves, Live at the Red Rocks - 1995) and another window that has wikipedia up and running on something that I shall wax eloquent about sometime.
I like that concept of eloquent waxing... it's not a phrase I see used as often I'd like but I think therein lies the beauty of it.
Earlier today while driving through bangalore's famous traffic realised that between my inherent pre-morbid subclinical anal nature and my love of High-Fidelity (book and movie) I had to make a list of the top songs to drive to. Why this? It's what stopped me, even at the threat of grievous and expensive damage to my car, from running into and over everybody else. So here goes (this is of course is not exhaustive and ye gentle readers are free to add your own choices at a later date)
In no specific order of preference
- Long Train Running - The Doobie Brothers
- Stay - Dave Matthew Band
- Pump it - Black Eyed Peas
- Flood - Jars of Clay
- Jessica - The Allman Brothers Band
- One Wild Night/Keep the Faith - Bon Jovi
- New millennium/ Take Away my Pain - Dream Theater
- Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd
- Fever - Michael Buble
- House of Tom Bombadil - Nickel Creek (for more reasons than one)
- Gallow's Pole - Led Zeppelin
- Man of Constant Sorrow - Soggy Bottom Boys - OST O Brother Where art thou
- PSP 12 - Zero
- Sunset Man- TAAQ
- Dheem - OST Takshak
- Yu Hi Chala - OST Swades (spelling not included)
- Mind Ecology - Shakti - Natural Elements
- Kandisa - Indian Ocean
This essentially is about an hour of music... eminently sing-along-able to. Of course one runs the risk of getting stared at by passers-by especially when the voice breaks on the highs at a red light... but then again when the one in question is used to being stared at since the one was listening to chris rock doing stand up (have a full length video, played it in winamp, directed output to the Lame Mp3 encoder, got the entire thing in a little mp3 file, put it on the creative and voila!... I'm a genius ["you will now refer to me as lord of the flames!""hey, Lord of the flames, your tail's on fire"] I digress) and was laughing every five minutes on the way to work and every ten at work... I guess it doesn't matter...
Have been reading about Maslow's triangle/hierarchy of needs. It deserves a commentary and will get one sooner or later as will the intellectually challenged waiters who haunt my life.
Adios
