This week holds all the hardcore mugging type subject exam papers, ie my two remaining science papers and my case study business paper! This is, however, not the worst part. This week will also be the last week of IGCSE examinations for pretty much all my friends. :( They're like going to MUI NE. Which is a sandy beach funinthesun type place if you didn't know. And my everything-except-physical-and-racial twin keeps going, "Hey, you wanna go to mui ne? Oh wait no. You have pe next week! :D" :(((
Yes so. You can imagine I'm not exactly feeling cheerful and excited at the prospect of revising for my pe theory paper while my mates frolick and swim amongst the undeniably treacherous yet attractive sparkling waves of the open sea. And get bikini tans.
So, without further ado, I present to you (esteemed ladies and gentlemen dwelling in my mind) songs that reflect my mood! (mellow) :)
For starters there's Take A Walk On The Wild Side by the Velvet Underground. VU is/was, I must say, quite a mellow band. Or maybe by some strange chance I just have all their mellow stuff ><
On the mrt/subway/train home alone at night after some high-energy event? The Velvet Underground will ease you down gently.
They were also quite an influential band, tempering the sounds of the likes of Nirvana, the Dandy Warhols and Joy Division to name a few.
Next there's Back In The Wild by the Greenskeepers. You know that song playing on grey's anatomy when meredith has her hand stuck in a patient holding a bomb and they're trying to bring them to an OR that isn't near a gas line so the whole hospital won't explode? Slowly? This is that song, folks.
And then! There's We Drink On The Job by Earlimart! This song's abit faster (okay alot faster) than the others, but trust me, it's mellow all right. The basic riff is TWO NOTES. And yet the song still manages to be spiffingly gorgeous! Now THAT'S talent.
Following which is The District Sleeps Alone Tonight and This Place Is A Prison, both by the Postal Service. TPS music sounds quite conflicted to me. You have the usually-upbeat electronicky music laced with relaxed-sounding vocals. And somehow, it works. o_O Both songs are also from their album Give Up.
(btw listen to the whole of this place is a prison since the start is quite alot more depressing than the rest)
Okay I think I should get back to my revising. Byebye.
