I've been trying to work for the past hour, and haven't done bad, however i can't work in silence so i put on music (i sometimes try and persuade myself i can watch TV and work, but who am i kidding!?!?).
Anyhoos... I got an old 60s fidelity record player for christmas, it's AMAZING and i love it so much, so i've been starting a vinyl collection too, which is a good past time, very enjoyable so far (although yet again, another distraction - surfing the net for classic vinyl)!
Yesterday I found Pink Floyd dark side of the moon on vinyl and bought it, so i've been giving it a listen while i work...it's INCREDIBLE, I forgot how much of an amazing album it is, and so good on vinyl, because you listen in the format it was made, no digital fading from track to track e.t.c, and you have to listen to all of it - the true mark of a great album, when you love every track and it's so much better listened to from beginning to end.
Anyways, i gotta get up every so often to change the record/change it over, which is the worst possible thing to do coz then i get distracted and put the washing on, or notice the kitchen floor needs a sweep, or whilst going to the bathroom decide the sink needs a scrub... then when i get back to work i check my emails again, or see if there's anything interesting going on on facebook...or write another piggin blog entry! lol - GAH!
haha, are you still putting off writing that essay?!! It's only at times like that you realise how many things you never otherwise notice reaaallly need cleaning. Plugsockets??! Lampshades?! There's always something you can do to distract yourself! :)

ReplyDeleteAnd nothing makes me happier than introducing someone to a new experience (and be introduced to one myself). Songs In The Key of Life was originally a double album that included a 45 rpm as well. It had 4 songs on the 45, which is incredibly rare. It also came with a 30 something page book that contains some lyrics, but a lot of other stuff including a long list of collaborators that are all somebodys in music. Now, I have an extra original copy in good shape, but missing the book. It's yours if you want it and will appreciate it. I will get your address and send it to you AFTER you listen to what you have. Peace.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Keep doing your thing on those blogs. I enjoy reading them, and believe me, that does not go equally for everyone.
