oh, good morning mr. tyler; going.. down?

In today's tale of good vs evil...


going up: Possibly the coolest, most intriguing album launch ever. Especially in the age of digital media

going down: RIAA has no idea

so don't go worrying about me; it's not like I think about this constantly

Today was the Bridges Fun Run (10km). Mark, Em, Aaron, Jack and myself all went along, and finished quite well. I plodded along slowly (compared to the others) with Em for most of it, the others are much faster than us. But we still made a pretty good time and beat last week's effort, both in fitness, pain, time & distance. Go us! I think I'm going to build up to a half-marathon in the next few months and have a crack at that. Why not :)

In drums, I'm now doing some triplet stuff with shuffle beats underneath. Getting pretty tricky now. Last week I didn't get much practice in, so I kind of stumbled my way through the lesson, learning as I went. Kind of like uni I guess ;) But of course it worked enough to look like I'd progressed. This week I'll try and find more time!

These three songs are in/on(?) my wavelength this week:

Nine Inch Nails: Terrible Lie

You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay (terrible lie)
How many you betray
You've taken everything (terrible lie)

Dire Straits: Telegraph Road

You know I’d sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder like you don’t seem to care

Fall Out Boy: Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?

Penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insights
Or a fortune for your disaster
I’m just a painter and I’m drawing a blank
