[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
I really have no idea what the name of this song is, but it’s very dark and brooding, a somber, creepy mood set by these guys, especially with the eery violins. this is the hidden track on the “Songs in the Key of X” album. I actually didnt even know about it for years after getting the album because it’s not like most “hidden tracks” on albums whereas the last track is just 20 minutes long because the song is followed by 16 minutes of silence. so you just had to either wait or fast forward to hear whatever passed for a hidden track at the end. that always annoys me when bands do that, mostly because I’m doing other things whilst rocking out to music and it tends to take me awhile before I realize I’ve been listening to silence for the past 12 minutes and am not entirely sure why.
but THIS track is sneaky. this is the ninja of hidden tracks. In the lyrics sheet, before the first song listed, it simply reads: “Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds would like to remind you that 0 is also a number”. That was the only hint I had for years and could never decypher until acccidentally stumbling upon one day. As it turns out, this song is hidden in the negative time of the first track. Songs dont play in negative time, in case you havent noticed. It’s a measurement of time that doesnt really exist, you see. So what you have to do is wait until the first track starts, then rewind it and you’ll see the timer go past the 00:00 mark until you get to about -11:00 or however long it is. Then you simply press play and listen to this song as the time counts back up to 0 and the “first” track begins playing. a pretty cool trick that seemed apt on an X-Files series soundtrack.

A couple of years ago all my friends took this dating personality test on OK Cupid and the results were creepily acurate. Despite it’s location. I havent done it in a while so gave it another shot
The first time I got The Playstation, looks like things have changed.

Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD)
Loving, hopeful, open. Likely to carry on an romance from afar. You are The Window Shopper.
You take love as opportunities come, which can lead to a high-anxiety, but high-flying romantic life. You’re a genuinely sweet person, not saccharine at all, so it’s likely that the relationships you have had and will have will be happy ones. You’ve had a fair amount of love experience for your age, and there’ll be much more to come.
Part of why we know this is that, of all female types, you are the most prone to sudden, ferocious crushes. Your results indicate that you’re especially capable of obsessing over a guy you just met. Obviously, passion like this makes for an intense existence. It can also make for soul-destroying letdowns.
Your ideal match is someone who’ll love you back with equal fire, and someone you’ve grown to love slowly. A self-involved or pessimistic man is especially bad. Though you’re drawn to them, avoid artists at all costs.

If you’re ever lucky enough to find someone who blacks out as much as you do, you have to hold on to them. You have to say, ‘hey, I know you won’t remember this tomorrow, but I love you.’

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Don’t Come Around Here No More
This was always my favourite TP film clip. We had a VHS of clips mum taped off rage and this was the one I would watch over and over and over again. I think it helped kick off my lifelong love of everything Alice in Wonderland related. If you were to take a single filmclip to sum up a person, I think this might be mine?

Songs like “Fifteen” dig up the ancient Puritan ideal that girls can only access power by confidently and heterosexually denying access to their pants. But there’s power in owning desire too, and even more power in owning that responsibly (especially when you’re young). At her age, my friends and I were having safe sex, listening to Ani DiFranco & Destiny’s Child and um *cough* Britney Spears and so far it seems none of us lost “all we had.”

I loved this track, no one ever remembers it when I make a reference. I could never remember who it was by and I spent over an hour using the snippets of lyrics I knew to find it. I’m really disappointed there doesn’t seem to be a film clip in existence. Now enjoy…
