Today, January 28th 2006, is my 23rd birthday. Woohoo.
Like I promised, it's time for a new entry - exactly 25 days later. (Or 26, if you live in the Netherlands, like I was kindly pointed out.)
In honor of the celebration, I'm going to write a few words about my current obsessions.
MewI finally finished my long-term obsession with Mew's newest album, the amazing
And The Glasshanded Kites couple weeks ago.
Now I've found myself indulging their debut (?) album
Frengers.
There should be a law against bands as magnificient as Mew. ;)
AirTo be honest, I never really got into their 1998 release
Moon Safari. There are excellent songs, but I was way too lazy to listen it properly.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, I've fallen in love with
Talkie Walkie. (We are announcing our engagement any day now.)
Uh, seriously, it's probably the most relaxing album (along with
Sigur Rós) I've ever listened to (ie. I've fallen asleep while listening to it more than once.) I love that kind of albums.
The Alan Parsons ProjectTales of Mystery and Imagination? Indescribable. I wish more people would do albums about literature pieces (especially Egdar Allan Poe's, as I'm strangely fascinated by him.)
A Turn of a Friendly Card? A definite classic.
Gaudi? I don't think many albums have gotten me interested in the subjects, unlike this album. Besides, the song La Sagrada Familia is as gorgeous as the building.
(
Eye in the Sky? I think I've run out of praising adjectives.)
Pink FloydI've said this before: I'm too stubborn for my own good.
I got into Pink Floyd in 2002, loved
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn but then (TEH horror) I was really disappointed with
The Dark Side of the Moon (I just
loved Syd) and quitted the scene. Stupid.
Ahem, the
Pulse version of Comfortably Numb changed my mind; Pink Floyd minus Syd does not equal DSOTM. :D
Wish You Were Here is my absolute favourite now. One day I'm going to listen to TDSOTM veeery carefully and maybe - just maybe - I'll start liking it (too).

Please excuse me my stupid fragmented sentence structure and lame inside jokes, I've been up way over 18 hours. Heh.
And I couldn't bother adding the album tags. Gimme a break. ;)
