Kangarat Murder Society

Two post in less than a week! I know it's whack! Buy also funky fresh. Do you remember when people used to say stuff like that on TV and things? I'm pretty sure they did anyway, back when you used to get the internet on free AOL CDs. I really do think the internet on CDs is the defining part of the generation that grew up in the 90s. That and Kenan and Kel.

First off: liking things for no real good reason. This follows on from the cricket things before, no reason to like it but apparently I do? I then realised on Sunday evening that there was another similar one. Why do I like Top Gear? I can't drive so really there isn't anything in it that should appeal to me all that much. And that goes for the Formula 1 too, for basically the same reason. Not that I'm going to change anything just because I don't know why I like things, if I like stuff I guess that's a good enough reason yeah? Maybe I'm just being overly analytical.

THE NEXT PARAGRAPH GETS PRETTY NERDY SO YOU CAN SKIP IT IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT MY OPINIONS ON VIDEOGAMES (though I talk about other stuff too)

Following on from another previous post (the one about piracy and how much society sucks), I have finally bought Alpha Centuri. Yes despite what I said I didn't get it illegally but bought it in an actual shop instead. The way the problem was solved was to split the £10 for 3 games deal between me and Greg, and for two of these actually buy collections of games in one box. Including the Alpha Centuri expansion pack we got like 8 games cheap and terrible for a tenner! Also although it is a pretty great game I kind of feel I might have been looking at it through rose tinted glasses as I have got bored of it pretty quickly. On the other hand this seems to happen for most of the hundreds of games I have bought over the years. Which kind of suggest Capitalism may have won again. But one of these days Capitalism, one of these days!

OKAY VIDEOGAME CHAT IS OVER NEXT I TALK ABOUT MUSIC (but I get pretty grumpy)

On the radio recently they have been playing Simian Mobile Discos new single. A lot. I don't have a problem with them, they have a cool name, but their new single is atrocious. It is a song which contains such awe inspiring lyrics as "I got that grape kool-aid filled swimming pool", "I got that Tammy Faye milk money butterscotch" and "I got that honey-dipped tennis wear just for play" amongst many more. I will be honest I don't know what any of that means and I don't give a flying fuck what ridiculous shit this man has. I hope it is funny and he is taking the piss out of rap or something (I like rap though, don't assume I don't like rap), but guessing by the way he is singing it he is serious about this shit. If you do know what any of that stuff he sings about means, keeps it to yourself and feel ashamed.

Right okay I am calm now and so it's time for good music talk. I have been listening to this song a lot: which is apparently over a year old but I missed somehow? I just really like it though I'm not too keen on much of the other stuff by the band. I think I've been listening to quite a lot of music a bit like this recently though. I've got no real idea what the genre is. I heard indie folk rock suggested somewhere but I don't think that works and really I just thought I'd mention it because it sounds hilarious and takes the squashing two genres together to make a new one to a fantastic new level. If you have any idea of the genre or other music I might like based on that tell me about it!

Also I am thinking about starting a petition to replace Ode to Joy with Europe Endless by Kraftwerk as the EU anthem.

Okay well I'm tired now and I've sort of lost my train of thought as to where I was going next with this (and it's probably long enough already), no doubt you will see whatever I was thinking of next time I post something.
