I LOVE last.fm

I joined this website in September last year and I swear it is probably my most USED website!! It was my friend M that recommended it to me and I have been hooked ever since!

Last.fm is basically a radio station ... but of music YOU like! You search by artist or by "tag" (hip hop, dance, reggae, classical etc) and it brings up other music like that ... so if you put in UB40 you'd come up with lots of other reggae groups. I love it!

It also tells you who you’ve been listening to most, etc.. and I’m such a HUGE fan of annoying pointless stats and stalking myself! Unfortunately this also means that when I'm having an 80s retro throwback night that shows up all the really shite tunes I used to listen to in my youth! Admittedly there are a lot of tracks that I really love because they bring back memories, but other people in the world think that the tune is crap. Ok in fact the rest of the world does!!!

Anyway,

I have spent soooo long sorting out all of my tunes and then all of a sudden Erasure, or the Pet Shop Boys from one of my 80s fest sessions pops up on my profile! I can hear all the younguns going "who??" LOL

It's worrying. People are going to be looking at this saying ‘OMG she sounded okay on the outside, but how SHITE is her music taste?'. It could affect my whole life. My future friendships. My chance of ever having more children!!

All I can say is - people, please don’t judge me. I think pixies are doing it when i’m not around. Sneaky wee buggers.

A perfect Saturday Morning

I had such a nice start to my day today! I had no immediate hurry to get out of bed as I hadn't planned on going to work until late morning. The kids didn't have anywhere to be either, so I got to wake up peacefully by myself!! Ohh heaven!!

Once I'd unearthed myself from the true comfort and bliss that is a body form mattress (seriously, you HAVE to get one!!) and come downstairs, I felt ... well, content I guess!!!

I sat on the sofa with my laptop and a pot of coffee knowing that I had a solid list of things to do, but none of them needed to be done right then. I was listening to music on
Last FM … and just chilling out to some really good music before going to pour candles for the rest of the day.

It occurred to me that my life was actually perfect for that brief moment!!

Sadly life is never perfect for that long ... and true enough, my peace & quiet was soon shattered! LOL

BUT on the upside, the weather today has been unreal for the start of February. I'm not sure what the temp was, but it actually felt WARM out there. It's a sure fire sign that Spring is coming soon!!

Aching back & feet and no voice! Must be a UB40 concert!!!

I saw UB40 at the Brighton Centre last night and I have a very sore throat and my entire body aches from so much singing and dancing!!! It's pretty much an anual thing for me - UB40 always play at the Brighton Centre in November and I wasn't about to miss out on tickets for this year after missing out last year! I've been to see them quite a few times and they are one of my favourite bands!

They did all the best songs too - loads from the very early days right up to some from their latest "Who you fighting for" album and some from a new album out in a couple of months. I almost didn't recognise Norman Hassan though - he'd put on a load of weight and grown a goatee! LOL I sang along to everything and danced my butt off!!!!

Ahhh what a great night. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!!!
