i wish upon wish that i had been the first to say,
'hello shredder. meet my fist. now let me punch you so i can fix my dishevelled bangs', or something similar/to that effect.
i'm so tired of being torn between elling (that's blogger talk for myspace talk for msn '(L)ing' talk) and really hating blogger.
i mean, it's not like decisiveness has ever been my strong point !
for eg., i remember crying at subway once bc i was too stressed at the amount of choices and couldn't make my mind up.. i was only seven/eight so it's aaalmost forgiveable. (plus i gained a free cookie out of the whole experience..)
BUT THAT DIDN'T CHOOSE MY LUNCH FOR ME.
nor did it teach me to not yell at spontaneous intervals: hello line above,
hello saturday night.
just to add the length of this blog, i'd really like to add how much i've been re-listening to george lately. looking on their site, they haven't toured since 2003 or so, and i really like that ! i've got no problem listening to old records over and over, they're still so gorgeous. i was googling katie noonan and george and remembered that the old residents of the house across the road had attended a wedding where george had also been, a few years back..how amazing.
and that also, the name 'george' came from one of their first large nights on stage and they'd had no band name to that date, so just spluttered umm GEORGE! and from that, the name was born (:
on a blog or forum i came across the name of a song that Sia and Katie Noonan have been said to have sung together, called 'Sweet One'.
unforch i couldn't find it anyway on the internet - but didn't look too hard. it wasn't even on youtube, though i did find a recording of Katie and Lior singing I'll Forget You at the last Woodford folk festival. wow huh !
i also found a copy of Katie singing a Beatles song and also one of my sister's and my own favourite Radiohead songs..i still liked the originals a lot better than her own, but they were such interesting takes on the songs; her style is completely different..it really intrigued me.
speaking of lior..or not really at all..i've been adoring Sia and Lior's (original version of) I'll Forget You. her harmonies are perfect and just loud enough to be heard without overpowering his own. i think i like the song mostly, though, bc i can relate a prettie sizeable amount to it. hmm, enough said.
'Like a bowerbird collecting blue, see me gather words to let you know; it's hard to let this go. You still make me cry, like a song of the east that loses its centre but always finds its way back home. Oh, how this bird has flown. It's time to forget the road we never traveled along.'
wow this has become so long.. so much for the pact that i tried to make months ago about keeping these short and sharp.
i didn't want to break up any of it or to remove bits, i really wanted to blog about all of this ! what a shame.
let me know if you read all the way to the bottom haha ?
