Chill-out

It appears that music is often the theme of my and many other blogs of late. And why not, it can do wonders for your soul. It can fix things that are broken. It can take you to another place. It can understand when no one person can. It can be a friend. It can revoke memories of good times. I spent my evening last night doing something I hadn't done for too long - put on my headphones, lie on the couch in the dark and listen to some dulcet tones. And in true M-style, put on my beanie over the top. It was cold last night! Except I looked a bit like a cyberman! Oh, and by the way.... I love my Sennheiser RS45 wireless headphones. No cables, long range (I even mow the grass wearing them sometimes).

Anyway. Back to the story. I had recently found a CD I thought was lost. Jim Morrison - An American Prayer. I posted before about how this contains some of the best song lyrics of all time. Well, I chilled out last night. Immersed. And then for something completely different and daggy, The Best of Seals and Croft. My father used to play the original LP when I was young. There was a restaurant near where I live (although now closed down) who always used to play Seals and Croft as background music.

I used to listen a lot to The Cure, late at night, on the couch, with my headphones. The album "Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me" is a favourite for this. The energy of the tracks varies greatly so I go on a roller coaster from start to finish. Again I reminisce. Back in the day when this album was first released, my sister and I both wanted to buy it, but being a double album couldn't afford it. So we both put in for it and shared it. I hear that The Cure are touring Australia soon. Might be worth the $100 ticket eh!

Goodnight!
