while I'm at it...

more musico recommendo

(not electronica this time)

Through The Window Pane - Guillemots

Voices of Animals and Men - Young Knives

Raise the Alarm - Sunshine Underground

 

I like The Young Knives, seen them play at the Zodiac in Oxford.


Well.... I'm just off out to see Steaming Wolf Penis (1) at The Port Mahon
in Oxford.

(1) I have no idea, and am not quite sure what I've been talked into here
either .......

 

you know, I haven't been to a proper gig in years and years. Or to a
club.

God, I'm old.

That said, provisionly I've booked my departments's Xmas do @
BarRumba.

 

It doesn't matter where you go, the fact that it'll be a departmental
christmas do for a load of bank employees will automatically negate any
hipness inferred by the venue.

 

a) it's not an official company do &
b) I don't work for a bank[1]

[1] though you're closer than Kenyons insulting suggestion that I work
an insurance company.

 

Giz a borrow, mate

 

you might actually like some of the above - they're like, you know,
"rock", complete with guitars and everything.

would you like more beige with that, sir?

 

That's off their 2nd album, y'know..

 

Mine's at the Europa !

HTH,

Paul.

Cool. Hope it goes with a bang.

Oh... Wait...

Mr Ono for Imagine.

 

I thought we'd done baggy already.. it can't be time for a revival
already ffs.

 

Talking about tiresome dirge I have to hand it to Mike Patton for his
views on Wolfmother.

 

Three other blokes had a hand in it and are still alive.
Was it the music or the lyrics and singing that annoyed you?
Are you sure you were listening to The Doors? Could it have been
"Relight My Fire" by Take That? The Doors were really quite good
in parts.

 

You say financial protection, he say insurance. Let's call the whole
thing a bank.

 

I don't say "financial protection" at all. That's also not what we do.

 

I've worked here now longer than I've worked continuously at any other
firm. It's a worry.

 

You're worried? I've been at one place for six years now, 4.5 of them
in essentially the same role.

Before that the longest I'd ever done in one job was 18 months.

I've been with my current lot, <counts> 9 and a bit years now.
Admittedly there's been 5 or 6 different roles and 3 relocations.

 

I've been in this job for the past 5.5 years, very worrying as on day 2
I decided I'd only do it for a year or so to force myself to get better
at dealing with all the paperwork and politics stuff I so hated.
