What are you listening to at the moment? what does it say for your mental health?

[hobbit.]

At the moment i am seriously pissed off with such threads as 'what are you listening to' what fucking point does it serve, unless its a 'how mentally stable are you' kind of thread, one with a hidden meaning for all the analysists on here to analyse? 'Hi, im listening to 'Ben' by michael jackson...... kind of thing. Bunch of cunts. Warfarin rocks!

at the moment I am listening to 'Blind Curve' by Marillion, ok so Scottish people should not under 'normal' circumstances be allowed near Electonic musical instruments, or recording studios but listen to it and tell me (or yourself for that matter) that from 6 mins and 30 seconds onwards that piece of music does not sum up all modern life?

should we say good bye?

Sorry, I just listened to the Saturday Morning Bluegrass Music show which was over at 10. Now the Grateful Dead and likenesses will be on which makes my teeth ache.

I think what it says for me is that I'm hungry and need to go eat brunch since it's already noon and I haven't eaten today...

Ive always thought the same about that thread. I think I posted in there a couple of times because I was bored but then I thought whats the point??

Theres a couple of people who post in there every few minutes to say what (normally shite) song theyre listening to and I just think dull dull dull...

I am going to stalk you, then go post in that useless thread.

*stalk*



Oh, and srsly, I think it's just for postwhores who want to up their postcounts and therefore find it necessary to inform the general public of their (mostly)crappy taste in music.

Pointlessness is half the charm of this place.

You have a very good point there.

I have been meaning to ask you...how many graham crackers in a 48 hour period are two many?

Also, what are you listening to now?

You've just described most of the threads in this entire forum. So why do you continue to post?

I wasn't attacking the 'what are you listening to' thread, just the lit 'readers' who use it to analyse fellow litsters.

so i posted this thread, for anyone who wants to have their musical tastes analysed by the great unknown psyco analysists of Lit.

Example, Blind Curve lyrics...

A) vocal under a bloodlight

Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
A lonely piece of action from another town
I just want to be free, Im happy to be lonely
Cant you stay away?
Just leave me alone with my thoughts
Just a runaway, just a runaway, Im saving myself



Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights
Cold moan, held on the crest of the night
Im too tired to fight

So now were passing strangers, at single tables
Still trying to get over, still trying to write love songs for passing strangers
All those passing strangers

And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies
Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper


Oh I remember toronto when mylo went down
And we sat and we cried on the phone
I never felt so alone
He was the first of our own
Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity
Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
The price of infamy, the edge of insanity

Another holiday inn, another temporary home
And an interviewer threatened me with a microphone
talk to me, wont you tell me your stories.

So I talked about conscience and I talked about pain
And he looked out the window and it started to rain
I thought maybe Ive already gone crazy
So I reached for a bottle and he reached for the door
And I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor
Inviting me to a casual obscenity


It would be incredible if we could retrace all the times that we lived here
All the collisions
Wasted, Ive never been so wasted
Ive never been this far out before

Perimeter walk
Theres a presence here
I feel could have been ancient, I could have been mystical

Theres a presence
A childhood, my childhood
My childhood, childhood
A misplaced childhood
My childhood, a misplaced childhood
Give it back to me, give it back to me
A childhood, that childhood, that childhood, that childhood, that childhood
Oh please give it back to me

(now it gets real)

I saw a war widow in a launderette
Washing the memories from her husbands clothes
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes

I see convoys curbcrawling west german autobahns
Trying to pick up a war
Theyre going to even the score
Oh... I cant take any more
I see black flags on factories
Soup ladies poised on the lips of the poor
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
Does anybody care, I cant take any more!
Should we say goodbye?
Hey

I see priests, politicians?
The heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations flags
I see children pleading with outstretched hands, drenched in napalm, this is no vietnam

I cant take any more, should we say goodbye
How can we justify?
They call us civilised!

Why are you defensive about the topic? Why did I read your post and becme defensive myself? Why do they call them graham crackers when they look more like a Charles or Nathen?

Anyway, I can ask pointed questions too and now you know that.
