Skinny Puppy - Cult

a lasting moment to hold onto with regret the scent of time
tried and tested I never noticed the phantoms of her mind
cresent moon im cutting through paste up warnings fill the sky
smoking embers I remember time and time again to try
to live I light to sink within her I think of light

time to blame to borrow from your past elapsed
collapsing

shes not insane
shes gone insane

and if the root of silence pulls me off and love is lost not
from my heart I sit upon this throne that throws…

The past few days I've been reposting a series of blog posts I started over on Gamespot a few years ago. Didn't make much sense to have them up on a website devoted to video games so I moved them all over here. I will likely continue them here. Basically it's a series of songs, all of which have deeply personal meanings for me.

I should probably start up a livejournal or other blog site account for general thoughts. Now I have my Gamespot blog for game related thoughts, last.fm for music, I should look into starting something neutral for…

Final blog repost from my Gamespot blog.

Matthew Good Band - Suburbia

You will come back within yourself
you can be art when we melt
and i will know what you were for
i say we're leaving
there ain't nothing here at all
another day, a week, the mall
and baby if I was in demand
you would be mine

Someday this place it going to burn
is your whole life in there waiting?
someday your head is going to turn
and you'll realize

i'm missing,
do you realize?

you will come back, convince yourself
you can stay alive and…

Gary Numan - A Prayer For The Unborn

So, I prayed…
But you weren't listening.
Making miracles?

So, I begged…
But you were far away.
Saving souls perhaps?

So, I screamed…
But she was very small
And you have worlds to mend.

So, she died…
And you were glorious.
But you were somewhere else.

If you are my shepherd
Then I'm lost and no one can find me.
If you are my saviour
Then I'm dead and no one can help me.
If you are my glory
Then I'm sick and no one can…

Matthew Good Band - I, The Throw Away

Made a man out of me
A killing machine
Your baby's going to die ma
Your baby's coming home
You know they put a man on the moon
Simply to prove that we all need a place to go
Where we're not known
Where we're not
And to a lesser degree
I can recall breathing easy
But the deficit rolls
Built up I suppose
Picking up the pieces
Of another f**ked up reason
For selling of some freedom that was never free
Well, never absolutely…

Matthew Good Band - Tripoli

Best to smile
best to squal for daddy
best to revile
the baby Jesus loves the company

Must have lost my mind
when i lost the car keys on my way out
strange how you're not with me

Where has my head gone?
Where do you hole up to
mutilate the day from me?
Where has my head gone?
Well I felt it slip away

Best to defile
best to stay sleeping
in a while
i will awake to be a has been

Must have lost my mind
when…

Matthew Good - Bright End of Nowhere

Here's the bright end of nowhere
Here's the results of all our days
Used to lay on the roof and drink beer
And try and count up all the ways
That you could waste away
Looking back it seemed so simple
But having done it I couldn't say

The lights are out baby
And I'm a mouse
The lights are out
Baby so hear me out
The lights are out baby
And I'm a mouse

So here's the bright end of nowhere
Here's the commercial of all…

VNV Nation - Further

Ten months after 20,000 I hit another big number. Once again I saw it coming and made it something special.

I saw Hancock on new years eve and out of nowhere this track came on. I recognized it from the first note and rather enjoyed it.

Rachel's - Water From The Same Source

Wonderful track of striking beauty from a great album. A good way to start a year.

Back in June of this year I did a blog post about my thoughts on the 0.6 build of Songbird. Well as of Dec. 2 songbird 1.0 is officially finished and available for download to the general public. While Songbird has come a long way since the 0.6 beta build I spoke of earlier there is still room for improvement. After spending a day with the finished software I'm going to write about my experiences with the software thus far and give my thoughts for those that might be interested.

Those of you that don't know what songbird is should…
