Burnin'

in the third degree:


NO FATE. Discuss.

Sexual equality

A lazy blog double bill:

For the gentlemen:



Or perhaps the ladies:



They must unite, fight, and see who is best!

Must say, the ladies actually handle the tools better. Does this make me a sad heeb? Yes, I think it does.

Dreamer

Sorry, more lazy blogging.

Ozzy Osbourne - Dreamer:


Hokay, Mr. Ozzy may not be the bestest singer in the history of the world, but I really like this one.

Is he sincere about wanting a better world? I'm not sure, but I'd like to believe it's something that could be achieved... I'm probably just a dreamer too...

Art

So I go to youtard to find something in my secret stash to lazy blog. but wait! it suggests I should watch this.. so I do... and then I share it with you:

PS.... in the unlikely event you're a visitor not from the land down under, you may find the language offensive.

hey...... got any grapes?

Lazy blog day:



Did you guess the ending?

I'm almost tempted to buy the book & CD just to see if it has any more weapons grade songs for when Idiot Girl is in my car.

Lazy links

So, to recap last Thursday I lazy blogged Alphaville's "big in Japan".

I now introduce a rather unexciting idea... today's lazy blog links to last week's lazy blog. Woo. I'm underwhelmed so I'm sure you are too.

On with it:


This be Aneka - Japanese Boy.

See what I did there? Don't worry, if I run with this idea I'll come up with less obvious linkage. Knowing the way I think nobody else will make the links, but well, it may be fun for a while.

Exciting facts:
Rather unsurprisingly this was a 1 hit wonder.

Aneka is actually Scottish. People who thought she was really Japanese, please leave the building NOW.

There was an album, also called Aneka. I have it, and whilst I don't play it that often there are situations where it's really good. Like when Idiot Girl is in my car, and it's a really long dull journey that will be livened up by hearing Idiot Girl complain that this is against the Genoa convention*.

Actually, it's one of my favourite high energy 80's albums with a screechy singer. Ok, so it may actually be my only high energy 80's album with a screechy singer.

*Yes, I could tell her, but it's more fun to imagine crimes against cake.

Zombie Vs Zombie

Who will win? They must unite and fight to discover the best!

Zombie 1: The cranberries


Zombie 2: Adam featuring Amy


Who do you think won?

It's a sin

When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame

Xmas countdown

Bit of a joy / despair / despair/ slightly less despair day today.

Joy: My new credit card was finally delivered.

Despair: After activating it, and them trying to sell me insurance against it being cloned (wot, like it just has been you mean?) I took it to the shop. Where it failed to work.

Despair: Attempting to start car: clunk. Bugger new battery required. Hang on.. the headlights are still bright... tries again, starts first time.... Bugger.. new starter motor required.

Slightly less despair: Googled discovery td5 starter motor, and they're apparently crap and fail a lot. But you can get a kit of replacement bits to fix them for £10, so slightly happier as this is cheaper than a battery at £130.

I haz also had a genius, GENIUS idea I tell you, on how to blog lazily in the run up to xmas when idiots will suddenly decide to do their xmas shopping online at my emporium and drive me insane running around after them.

The idea be: Youtube vids to the max. With a twist on the xmas theme. Yes, I hope to have enough ideas of xmas things to show, that when you actually stop and think for a soupcon, they're not remotely xmas-y.

I will start this plan NOW: Freiheit - Keeping The Dream Alive



Top trumps time:

Number of xmas cd's featured on: 5
Number of xmas words in the lyrics: 0
Number of winter / snow etc words: 0
Probability of being played on asda in store fm: 15%
Relationship to xmas? : Bugger all.

The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive

I'm baffled why this is a Christmas song. Anyone got any ideas?

Friday the 13th

Holds no fear for me. Having lived my entire life at houses with the number 13, if something bad was to happen it would have done it by now. Or it has and I've just failed to notice.

I am, however, in a mixture of excited / sad / unhappy / hyper. For on Saturday I am to meet a certain blogger and her killer friends. I should be happy. But all I can think of is how many ways I can get it wrong. Self doubt, your name be C'riz.

In an attempt to break the negative thinking, I am playing a selection of my favourite teenage death songs, with a heavy emphasis on the silly ones. I know it was only yesterday I was leaning on the youtube lazy blogging crutch, but My blog! My blog!, I'm going to do it again, as I feel you should share my pain.

I bring to you:
Bob Hudson - Teenage Cremation



At a 100 miles per hour,
we ran into a truck,
the driver he just looked at us ,
and all he said was "Ooooargh! Look out!!"

I feel better already...

Tubetastic Thursday

I've been thinking, some of the big clever blogs do the set thing on a set day trick. Eg sick in a hedge Friday for the duck, and requests for a large one on Wednesday from little miss 69.

True, it could just be a sneaky way of getting another day off. But I should have a predictable day. (Persons saying every day is predicted to be full of crap writing will be shot on account of no one likes a smart arse).

So my lazy blogging is going to be... give you something from the tube, and tell you what it means to me. Woo, yay! Zzzzzzzz ~fx: gunshot~

It begins with this:
Kim Wilde - Cambodia



Boring comment bit:

Kim, Kim, Kim... you did nothing for me in the eighties. Which just proves what a total spacker I was. How could I have missed pretty Ms. Wilde? Hubba hubba hub...

This song also appears to get missed a lot. Every predictable 80's compilation album will contain the rather more poor but popular "Kids in America". Indeed, this one has gained the idiot girl "what's this shit?" award for non recognition, so thus must be a good song.

I like songs that tell a story. This one be: her bloke gone missing in Cambodia, presumably after getting shot down, but 1.0 years later she's still sure she will see him again.
True, the video takes it a bit further that he's gone native, and she goes to join him at the end, but I don't get that from the lyrics.

It's a definite hairs raised song for me, but I was always a sucker for boy meets girl, boy loses girl, happy ever after? type slush.

Join us next week for more crap thoughts on something tubetastic.
