What Are You Listening to Now?

Dusty Springfield, strangely.

Gotta give me some of your lovin' on repeat. (means I don't have to listen to the Pet Shop Boys song later on the CD)

It's been that kind of day - I need to sleep.

The crunching sound of a jammed photocopier

The melodic sound of my dinner being cooked. Bubbling and babbling away beautifully.

Since my laptop fan stopped going nuts a while ago .. I bought Billy Braggs greatest hits there recently but I'm not listening to it right now. I'm going to try to remember to get Amy Winehouse too back to black...

cactus are you blackberrying in the office canteen? you're supposed to be churning out 200 keystrokes a minute or we're all focked

I could be listening to this from time to time - either I'm having a hick phase or something in the sound of her voice does it ..

My daughter watching "The Aristocats" for what might well be the thousandth time in a row.

What about a bit of this? Mr. Smith at his best

Photocopier cleared: now listening to the chug chug chug of finished report issuing out of it.

TV, kid 1, kid 2, kid 3, dog1, dog2, dublin airport departures, PC fan.

Whoosh of water over the weir, rustle of OM's newspaper.

OM ?

Is it a battle to get the little ones off to the leaba?

No. The dogs are a doddle. But the kids...

I'm listening to "Old Harry's Game" on BBC7 now. Devilish fun.

The guy who used to be in the Housemartins... on rte 2 singing in the church in Dingle...

Silence. I stay up this late just to hear that.

Silence.

And PC fan of course.

Might stick some AC/DC on in a minute though.

I'm suprised my fan isn't waking up the neighbours, must get it fixed.

Had to take manual control of it in the end (dead handy this fan control yoke)

Oh, and doing 70's mournful...

Essentially yes. Allows you to turn them down or off if you want. When the fan is on last legs like this, means you can be on the phone or whatever without it going ballistic in the background..

Does the fan cool the processor .. ? I don't think it does now - it cools the power pack

(must build computer one day..)

I have 'Cobwebs and Strange' by The Who stuck in my head. Assuming ye're familiar with it, can anyone tell me what ad it was in a few years ago? It's driving me mad.


I have no sound on my computer so I can only assume this video has the music.

and today, 90's mournful....

Hear Cilla Black singing Alfie on the radio the other day:
a strange melodic screeching with a surprisingly moving and complex interpretative range. The woman was a great singer: what happened?

She has an extraordinary voice - alternating between beautiful sweetness and brain-shaving coarseness.
