Should the rating system on iPod/iTunes (and Sony thingies as it goes) be out of ten rather than 5?

I mean, you can't pack the nuances between good and shit with just 5 stars can you.


Plus I use the 1 star as a signifier that it was a bad rip and needs to be redone, so really it's out of 4, rubbish.

Oh yes, listening, not ranting, I remember.


Just did my Fopp spree.


New Decemberists, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bat for Lashes and Yo La Tengo albums plus a couple of others.


Will report back, but Decemberists already shaping up to top their last sublime album!!


IO saw the Doves there, but was already knocking on the door of 70 quid and decided to leave it for another day.

well, they haven't lost their touch for a dark song!!!


The Rake

-----------


I had entered into a marriage

In the summer of my twenty-first year

And the bells rang for our wedding

Only now do I remember it clear

Alright, alright, alright


No more a rake and no more a bachelor

I was wedded and it whetted my thirst

Until her womb start spilling out babies

Only then did I reckon my curse

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright


First came Isaiah with his crinkled little fingers

Then came Charlotte and that wretched girl Dawn

Ugly Myfanwy died on delivery

Mercifully taking her mother along

Alright, alright, alright


What can one do when one is widower

Shamefully saddled with three little pests

All that I wanted was the freedom of a new life

So my burden I began to divest

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright


Charlotte I buried after feeding her foxglove

Dawn was easy, she was drowned in the bath

Isaiah fought but was easily bested

Burned his body for incurring my wrath

Alright, alright, alright


And that's how I came your humble narrator

To be living so easy and free

Expect you think that I should be haunted

But it never really bothers me

Alright, alright, alright

Alright, alright, alright

i'm listening to


Sigur Ros - beautiful music, saw them in Melbourne- they rocked.

Polysics- japanese electro-rock

- Canadian alt rock

- Maladroit rocks

- what's better than Arnie + metal- metal songs abt Arnie

Regina Specktor- quite possibly the most beautiful song ever.


and a really catchy song on Xfm ( sadly the dj never mention the band name or song title ) [i think the lyrics include the following lines- nobodys' watching, everybodys watching *mumbles something* ..watchout..*other lyrics*..and it breaks my heart in 2]

1st person to name the band/ song gets a beer...

    • I'm glad you are making good use of your car, but bemused how you are saving on petrol by only half filling every 3-4 weeks? Unless this prevents you using the car as often as you would like, surely you would use just the same amount of petrol, and spend the same amount of money, if you filled it up completely every 6 - 8 weeks? Have I missed something here?

    • Would Leon install a new double oven? Our eye level double oven was installed when we had our kitchen installed around 20 years ago and will need to be replaced with similar. I think we had 2 people to install it then - so does Leon work alone?
    • My car was registered in 2004. Automatic, ULEZ compatible.  Used to use it daily for work until 2016 when retired. Still used 3-5 days weekly after that as was doing voluntary work. My mobility has gradually declined and  it is painful to walk.. Family live in Kent, Essex and Sussex - so need car to visit them. My car battery is 2 years old - when had to call out RAC to assist at home as it was dead, they found it was the original battery installed in 2004!! My car is essential - shopping each week, being able to go to garden centres, or DIY stores, taking the cat to the vet and  other social activities. I now only half fill with petrol every 3- 4 weeks, so save that way. I am careful  with my finances and would be lost without the car. It is regularly maintained (Turners).
