Why does your mind always draw a blank?
Okay so I have a question for you all and I would love it if someone answered it for me. Why does your mind always draw a musical blank? The other day whist I was stumbling along at work I found without one of the greatest internet inventions on the planet. You Tube Audio Convertor
This great little tool allows you type in the URL of a YouTube video. This then goes away and stripes the video away and leaves you with an mp3 of the audio. Wonderful, I mean it’s great when you weight it up. You now have a vast bank of you tube videos, with no need to download when of those Trojan filled download monkey programmes such as lime wire and bit torrent (evil bastards). It means that now all those live videos you been watching of one of live performances such as when foo fighters play everlong at festivals, Or perhaps when artist does a song differently live from their normal sound like Capricon By 30 seconds to mars.
Feck you have opened up a world of opportunity. So after I did those 2, placed them on my iPod and then went and watched black books on you tube. (God bless some of those little you tubers). After watching Dylan Moran make me laugh so hard that milk comes though my nose, before people ask if my rather cynical view on the world came from watching Mr Black. To which people who know me say I’ve always been that way.
I then hit an age old problem. Every song in the world at your fingertips right there and my mind draws a blank. I’m sat staring at the screen and can’t think what the hell I want. It just gone my mind is wondering what an earth music is. I look at the reading line up hoping for a spark of inspiration. But none not one bit I list them in my head
Rage (already have on iPod)
Killers (well one song but meahhh)
Metallica (already on iPod)
I mean I could go on but nothing comes of it. All you end up looking at are your guilty pleasures that you would never put on your iPod for the fear that some might see them. You know the ones I mean “nsync” “James Blunt” and “Duran Duran”. So I pack up the computer and head home from work. Only to find it all hits like a freight train “filter where do go from here” “Pendulum Slam and Propane Nightmares” and “Depeche Mode enjoy the silence linkin park remix”. There’s a spring in your step. I can’t wait to get home. I get home open the computer and again my mind says, “I’m sorry what this music thing you’re talking about”.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh WTF my mind doing.
So I ask I’m I the only one that suffers from this problem. I’m I just an idiot or do loads of you out there suffer from this terrible affliction. If I’m the only one I could name it after myself. Call it “musmark disease” what’s the cure. It’s a pen and paper dumbass.
Hope you all have a good day and email some suggestion for songs to mcunnah@googlemail.com. Might help me out a bit he he he ho ho ho

If I gave you a million pounds and said you had to spend every penny on whatever you wanted, you’ll probably get a few things and then draw a blank. It’s the way the mind works. You want what you can’t have and when you can have it you’re not sure what you really want.
You’ve got no need to get all the songs now, it’s not like there’s a time limit. Just keep it tucked in your favourites and when those song ideas suddenly hit, get them then.
On the subject of downloading songs, have you downloaded the new Offspring song from their website yet? If not, why not? It’s fucking brill! Not a choking chicken in sight!
