i just bought two cds! rhapsody is seriously bad for me. i was going to go to holland v to have dinner with claud and ian and thong, but then considered bailing and going home for dinner, but decided to go so that i could visit rhapsody and buy another zero 7 cd, and spizza wasn't opening for another few minutes so we traipsed off to rhapsody first, and instead of zero 7 i bought aqualung's first album (which has strange and beautiful on it!) and i got it for 21.90. hmv has it for about 28, and amazon for 27 USD, so i think i got a pretty good deal. also got some cd called 'relations' by someone called kathryn williams. never heard of this thing before, but the guy recommended it to me and it had a cover of hallelujah on it as well as various other covers including songs by neil young and stephen malkmus - the album's entirely covers and sounds good, so i got that as well. and then i felt so bad spending so much money that i bailed on dinner anyway. so now am waiting at home for dinner to be ready. am ravenous. i could eat a horse, if horses were vegetarian. ew. eating horses gross.
i need to get the new wilco album, for that matter all the wilco albums, and 'much more than much love' by finley quaye - guy who sang Dice, on the OC soundtrack.
oh and we walked to holland v by the route vivien and i discovered, except that we walked across the grass field thing. good thing i was wearing jeans. but it was a hilarious and traumatic experience. i must do it again, this time wearing sensible sneakers with the jeans.
it's a horribly hot day. or maybe it's just a rude shock to be in disgusting singapore weather after spending the whole day freezing in lt1. thank god i had my trusty bright redandpink stripey jacket. it makes me a warm and happy girl.
was up until 4 something last night, watching gilmore girls. although i did fall asleep for a while in between. relived the wonderful season 1 memories. happiness. and we have new gg converts! and overslept until i got woken by a panicked shoojee at 9am, and scrambling off home to change and turning up at rehearsal almost an hour late. anyway, hopefully i can stay up long enough tonight to finish my homework. two essays!!!
oooh i just discovered that nitin sawhney and zero 7 are very similar. they're linked together all over the place on amazon. that rocks! good music makes me happy. i'm lately turning to instrumental. nitin sawhney - another necessary acquisition.
