iPod

2003- iPod3 released with 40GB of music storage space. The craze begins. In Singapore anyway.
2004- iPod4 (with photos and colour)
2005- iPod Nano replaces iPod Mini,
2006- iPod Nano2
2007- iPhone
2008- iPhone 3G
2009- iPhone 3GS
2010- iPhone4
2011- iPhone 5 to be released

And every year I tell myself.. neaah, I can wait.
They are only gonna release a newer and better model next year anyway.
and well they have. just that I've gone the last 8 years without a real portable music player. I mean I had my brother's Sony Discman (circa 1999). And my last 2 non-army phones have been Sony Ericsson Walkman Phones. But with 13GB of non-pirated music from abour 140 legally bought CDs, and downloaded tracks from sites like emusic soundcloud or play.com, its really time I upgrade my portable music listening experience.

Well I do graduate in 2013. And I do like the number 7. Maybe if all works out, I'll get myself the iPhone 7 as a graduation gift. =D

Unless of course something revolutionary happens with cloud storage and the whole need to get a giant GB storing music player becomes redundant. in the meanwhile, thinking about all that money I saved not getting an iPod? yeaa. with a proper london accent, that sure feels "safe." =)

mess

its messy and disorganised. its unsettling. preparing to pack my life away into boxes. for one more week I'll be in singapore. spread out over 2 houses. one of which i wont be living in. the other which id have to clear out of, to make room for tenants. everything else will be following me to london. and kenya. and back to london. ive got boxes in london waiting to join me, come the 25th september. but the point isnt about having stuff.
stuff i can give away. sell. lose. the point is having a space. and now I dont have that. its a terrible feeling.

running out of time to clean this room. clean it. clean.

Maritime - Air Arizona

Ive only done this once before, with an Acid Kindergarten song, to hilarious results, I think.
Attempt to transcribe the lyrics of a song by ear. When no lyrics can currently be found on google. (le gasp!)

So yea.. Lets do this!
=D

Air Arizona
by Maritime

(Verse 1)
Air Arizona
You care
Your hair is all old everywhere
Cant see you inside of there (OR the air)

Air Arizona
Are you there?
Well I'm not going anywhere (OR Well London going anywhere)
I need air up in here (OR Im the Air-Bear in here)

(Pre Chorus)
I wont lead to lose
the face and line
it turns the dime
is mine
Im here

(Chorus)
Is there a hole in the wall?
Cause there's nothing so barren
that wont come back to us somehow
You can tell me now

(Verse 2)
Air Arizona
The rain
Were cloumdering, well what did they say? (I know, I know, "Cloumdering" isnt a real word, whatever)
Paint the painted desert this way

Air Arizona
Oh the days
We CC James we stay the same
exit will turn in a Jay

(Pre Chorus)

I wont need to bruise

the painted doors the gate

the innerstate

Im here

(Chorus)

Is there a hole in the wall?

Cause theres nothing so barren 

that wont come back to us somehow

You can tell us now

(Instrumental)

Look inside the hole in the wall

Cause there's nothing so barren

so barren so barren so barren right now

That's why I'm telling you

Is there a hole in the wall

Cause theres nothing so barren 

that wont come back to us somehow

and you can tell us now

(End)

Well that was fairly fun. Even if the constant replaying made me sliiiiightly sick of the song. I still think it warrants a place in my summer 2011 playlist.

The première entry into that list being "The Plage" by Crystal Fighters. Awesome song. check it out. If you havent already.

Alright, 2 days left in London. Got stuff to do. Got a life to pack. Best I get to it now. 

Till then, always love. 

peace.
