wow its really hard to type without spaces.Anyhoo, i dont have anything interesting to report. But its 4 minutes past one, and i dont want to go to bed yet. im really restless, bored.Mmmmmmmmmm. mindblank. I suppose i hoped that when i got here i'd have something to write about, but, erm, no.Iv listened to "all flowers in time bend towards the sun" about ten times in a row just now. I actually dont know anything about this song, i dont know if its a cover or what. Its a duet between Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. I think its so beautiful, theres just something about him that just kind of makes all the bullshit music of today just fade into the background. I had a proper rant to myself the other day about all the shit passing as music, the fucking absoultley dire bands that are around today, and i wouldnt care if they at least tried to make something good, but its just like they dont give a shit. And im being a hypocrite cause iv never listened to any of the bands that i have in mind when i think about this stuff, but fuck it. I just hate all these shitty band names like i dunno, you me at six, hadouken, nine lives for skydives (wtf), kids in glass houses. Theres a million bands like that out at the moment, and i know when it comes down to it, if music makes you truly happy, when it just brings out something in you that you cant describe, then it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks. But for some reason i just feel like these bands are just... exploiting? fuck me, i dunno what im on about. I just feel like their so incincere. I do feel like a bit of a music snob writing this, but so what, nobody else is reading this so it doesnt even matter. And i know when it comes down to it, their just fucking band names, the least important part of any band. But its just the collective impression they give, and again, i know you should just judge a book by its cover, and i should really listen to all these bands i think are shit before i start ranting about how wank they are. But, ah, fuck it. It just seems all to be so image based, style over substance was a phrase i heard once, and that seems the perfect description for all them bands. I know i know, im being a huge hypocrite. What if jeff looked like the bands of today, but the music was exactly the same? No doubt i'd think he was cunt before even giving him a chance. Urgh, what am i saying? I guess it just doesnt go like that really.People complain loads about stereotypes, but when it comes down to it, stereotypes are true. How often do you see someone who looks like a goth, that actually really likes i dunno, lets say blues music, and plays the sax.

Anyway. When i read and hear stuff, all the things people have said about him, Jeff, he must have been fucking amazing, just as a person. I think he went out with Liz Frazer for a bit, this is what she said about him -

"To meet Jeffrey was like being given a set of paints, i had all this colour in my life again/ i was sweating like a fucking june bride when i first heard him, music has never done that to me before/ I just couldnt help falling in love with him"

Fuckin hell, "i just couldnt help falling in love with him" Doesnt that just break your heart? Man.

Umm. Ramble ramble ramble.Basically, to conclude this blog, All flowers... is stunning, im pretty sure its going to be my wedding song.
