Musical Notes

Heard on the Radio One this morning:

BLINDED BY THE SUN LIGHTS by The Streets - By use of keen observation and dilligently-produced trance backing track, FrankMike Skinner successfully recreates all the emotional trauma of a horrible nightclub experience. By which I mean, I just don't get it.

DON'T STOP by The Beautiful South - more than made up for The Streets, it is a cover of an old track by The S Club 7s inna mellow Jazz stylee. Nice. It has been noted that I am a fan of dreadful punk covers; this is not entirely accurate, what I favour is unusual covers of familiar songs.

These are my beliefs. I appreciate that they are WRONG JUST WRONG, but unlike some people I would rather die for my beliefs than kill for them.

EDITED TO ADD: Today's Scary Go Round seems strangely relevant, but I can't quite pin it down.

The thing about drugs experiences are they are fun but not in a logical way.

Yeah ... maybe that's why I shy away from them. I want to enjoy myself because I'm doing something worth enjoying, not because there are different chemicals in my brain than usual.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating biochemical experimentation. However Alcohol works the same way in altering your neurochemistry tilting your brain more towards chemistry than rational thought. Its just the mechanisms are different with different drugs (and of course every drug has its own risks).

I think I may still have my parents copy of The Private Life of the Brain hanging around somewhere. She has some interesting theories on the cognative process that is all about the balance between neurochemical state and neuron connection rate. Her main point is the brain needs both to function although the balance changes depending on situation.
