I was just surfing around on YouTube and stumbled upon this clip of Mr. Big doing an acoustic version of “Green Tinted Sixties Mind”. And it just brought a smile to my face. Great song, great harmonies, great delivery. It’s hard to find another collection of such fine musicians in one band. They look like [...]

Greatness
Monday, 17 August, 2009
Aryton Senna Michael Jordan Tiger Woods Roger Federer Michael Schumacher Floyd Mayweather Jr Valentino Rossi Anderson Silva Michael Phelps Usain Bolt What do all these guys have in common? Well, I would call it “greatness”. Meaning that when watching them in their element, you just shake your head and go “There’s no way anyone else [...]
This Is The Last Time
Sunday, 16 August, 2009
As mentioned a few posts below, I’m really enjoying listening to Keane’s “Hopes & Fears” album. It’s fantastic. My favourite song is easily track two, which is “This Is The Last Time”. It’s one of those incredible songs with an incredible melody and “feel” to it that I just can’t get it out of my [...]
Reservist
Saturday, 15 August, 2009
Reservist can be one of the most dreaded things in a guy’s life, but I think it’s all about perspective. I’m an eternal optimist, and one of the greatest things about reservist is the opportunity to catch up with all my old army buddies (whom we will most likely never find time to meet up [...]
Rediscovering Old Songs
Saturday, 15 August, 2009
I always love it when I discover an old song on the radio. Today I heard a snippet of a song which sounded so familiar that I was very sure I had heard it before many years ago. Because I have an extreme fear of letting this song slip away and forgetting it forever, I [...]
For All We Know
Monday, 10 August, 2009
Love, look at the two of us Strangers in many ways We’ve got a lifetime to share So much to say and as we go from day to day I’ll feel you close to me But time alone will tell Let’s take a lifetime to say I knew you well For only time will tell [...]
“Past, Present, Future Perfect”
Monday, 10 August, 2009
I’m not normally a fan of Sumiko Tan’s columns, but I thought she wrote a beautiful piece in yesterday’s Sunday Times. You could probably google for the article, or read them at these two links (here) and (here). She was sharing her thoughts on having recently met up with her JC crush “Hurricane” of 29 [...]
I Am Seriously Impressed
Thursday, 6 August, 2009
Ok, I am seriously impressed. I read from some other blog about this website that streams songs. Lots of songs. It’s called: http://listen.grooveshark.com/ Something like Imeem, except that Imeem isn’t all that fantastic, to be honest. The cool thing about this new site is that you don’t need to register, and you can listen to [...]
“Finally Found Someone” By Bryan Adams And Barbara Streisand
Wednesday, 5 August, 2009
I experienced a “wow” moment with this song recently. I’ve never liked this song much, never bothered to give it a second take. But last weekend I was practising this song with the band for the first time, and I had a good run-through of this song, and suddenly it was like…”Wow”! I’m still not [...]
Keane’s “Hopes And Fears”
Monday, 3 August, 2009
I can’t believe how much I’m enjoying listening to Keane’s debut album “Hopes and Fears” these few days. I’ve heard lots of good things about it, but it was only recently that I bought the album off Amazon and started seriously listening to it. It’s an incredible album…one of the most enjoyable albums I’ve listened [...]
