Smash

Evidence that crime does pay. A few years back I knicked this from my friend. A year or so later, when we moved in together, he still had his copy. I checked that I had "mine" and I did. Huh?

Turns out after I pinched his, he stole another unfortunate friend's copy. Then it turned out that I had in fact stolen someone else's, not his and his turned up as well. So now, we have 3 copies of Smash, having only purchased one. AND I hardly ever listen to it anyway.

A fine Eddie Izzard stand up performance, and the first I ever saw. Reminds me of about 7 of us crammed into a tiny room at uni watching and loving it.

Hilarious stuff.

Load

This reminds me of being visited at uni by a friend, who got to witness my first ever 2 day hangover. It was after my 21st birthday and I'd thrown up on a bike after drinking a horrible mucky pint that included coffee.

We sat in all weekend playing computer games and eating random crap from the One Stop Shop.

The highlight being Yorkshire puddings stuffed with Smash and salt and vinegar crisps on a bed of baked beans. If I wasn't sick before...

Clifford

This reminds me of a man that I wish was still with us.

Words from me can't do him justice, but I can say, on a selfish level, that I wish I had had the opportunity to get to know him better and the short time I got to spend with him was one of the best times of my life.

A Boy Named Goo

Quite a contrast to the last post. This reminds me of the awful and short-lived "band" that I was in over a summer and a bit.

We had all the stuff, instruments, a garage to play in, the ability to write (what sounded like) reasonable stuff, but we couldn't play any of the instruments for shit. We managed about 2 half-assed covers from this album, and that's about it.

A little bit of a hindrance some might say. Not why the band split up though - that was definitely down to musical differences.

Rage Against The Machine

Great album, great band, my favorite name for a band ever, my favorite album cover ever. Just awesome.

This reminds me of working part-time in a wine shop and getting sick of the God awful music we had to play. So me and a colleague provided Rage with our own CD player.

Well worth it, especially for the odd scowling OAP.

This Is Spinal Tap

This is a further reminder of that futon from previous posts.

An absolutely hilarious film.
