things i did this week

bought Linkin Park tickets!!!
bought Under the Pink, Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos, Battle of Los Angeles, RAGE - Rage Against the machine
a code milestone - YAY!!!
listened for the first time to Liz Phair - Liz Phair.

Finally, a concert with live performance i can agree to. Wonder whether or not there's gonna a be a mosh pit? Probably not, knowing the crowds here. Oh well. Buat persiapan, started listening/singing along to their songs again. Dari kedua album (not counting the Reanimation album), gue emang lebih seneng Hybrid Theory, walau Meteora terdengar lebih matang. Since i couldn't hit the notes when doing the Bennington's part, i'll chose Mike Shinoda's.

Tori Amos is definitely one of the best voices around in 1990s, and still in the 2000's. Sorry to say, that i'd like the older albums better. But i couldn't find Boys for Pele, so that will have to wait. Yang ada ya yang gue beli, plus Venus 2 CD and Strange Little Girls. I'll save it for later. What is there to say about Rage Against the Machine? The conciousness of alternative rock of the 1990s. Belum ada band yang 'berani' seperti mereka lagi.

Code milestone number ??? - well, i think there's only two left in my list. The we started progressing further into the higher levels. Probably another month, or maybe two if i'm lazy. God, i love coding!!! So much better than sex, when you screw up - it's you, not so lame-ass excuse or the girl.

Guys and girls - you just gotta love Amazon.com/CD-Now. Cari artist apapun, dan mereka bakal rekomen 'similar artist'. Kali ini mereka recommend the right stuff. How could i pass on this one? ANd det, how could you not tell of this 'Sheryl Crow but with more bad ass, sexed-up, lewd-mouthed attitude'. Well, some people would obviously doesn't agree. Tetapi di dunia Britney-Avril sell outs, it's quite refreshing to find a voice like this.

ANd just in case you're wondering, no - the sex part(s) is not what attracted my ears. Listen to 'Extraordinary' and you'll know what i mean. I had the same 'feeling' listening to Meredith Brooks' 'Bitch' and Paula COle's 'Me'. But the 'sexed-up, lewd mouthed' parts does have it's particular sound - it's fun, well, on this album anyway.

I mean why not? Why not think of it as fun? Okay, dirty fun then...

Not something so holy or sacred, or wicked or stupid or foolish or...

Well, you know what i mean.

This is shaping up to be a really good month, with it's awkward moments and a dash of fun.
