If I Should Fall From Grace With God - The Pogues.

Well I was listening to The 2 Tone Story, however with the news of R.E.M. splitting up I feel that I will be having R.E.M. for the rest of the day.

I sit at my table and wage war on myself It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing I know the barricades, and I know the mortar in the wall breaks I recognize the weapons, I used them well This is my mistake. let me make it good I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses I proclaim that claims are left unstated I demand a rematch I decree a stalemate I divine my deeper motives I recognize the weapons I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself (Chorus) It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize This is my mistake. let me make it good I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down Reach out for me and hold me tight. hold that memory Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me This is my world And I am world leader pretend This is my life And this is my time I have been given the freedom To do as I see fit It's high time I've razed the walls That I've constructed (Repeat chorus) You fill in the mortar. you fill in the harmony You fill in the mortar. I raised the wall And I'm the only one I will be the one to knock it down World Leader Pretend - R.E.M.

A real shame, Green is still one of my favorite albums

Have you tried the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead, it is a pretty good read

It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - REM

I loved Super and I must agree its Strange, However if you liked Super Try "Defendor" it is very funny, yet has a real story, and will get you emotionally involved when you are not laughing your butt off. Stars Woody Harrelson and Kat Dennings

"The Future's So Bright, I Gotta Wear Shades" - Timbuk3

Make It Easy On Yourself - The Walker Brothers

Hi Peacefield you most probably know more Stranglers songs without realising it, also if you pop Golden Brown into the search bar on you tube there is a really good jazzed up version.

My Reading appears to be like my music listening at the moment it's all over the place I can't seem to settle on one book, so I've got a few on the go; The American book of the Dead- Henry Baum ( Can't make my mind up here), Stardust - Neil Gaiman (bedtime reading, as I loved the film and think that American Gods is one of the best reads ever), My Life - Bill Clinton (a good read by a smug git who thinks the sun shines out of his self) The Stranglers:Song by Song - Hugh Cornwell ( Excellent so long as you like the stranglers), How many Friends does one person need? - R.I.M. Dunbar (interesting enough)

Somebody Got Murdered - The Clash

I saw the Guard yesterday it was absolutely brilliant, a good dark comedy

Try Neil Gaiman American Gods, it has to be the best book that I've read in years

The Books are far better than the film, and well worth a read
