On a more mellow note, try Soul Meets Body by Death Cab For Cutie.

Where In The World Did You Go With My Toothbrush? Lyrics


You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
You didn't even leave a towel so I could dry my face.
You didn't even leave a plate for me to eat on.
But you left all my empty beercans all over the place.

You didn't leave my precious black and white TV set.
You took the Jimi Hendrix poster that was on my door.
You left with my very best friend - our dog Smokey.
But I found all the unpaid bills on the kitchen floor.

And where in the hell did you go with my toothbrush?
And where in the hell did you happen to spend last night?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
And you didn't even tell me they was turning out the lights.

You didn't leave my little five dollar alarm clock.
You didn't even leave a note; I guess it's all been said.
You didn't even leave the cushions for the sofa.
And now that I'm used to the couch, you left the bed.

And where in the hell did you go with my toothbrush?
And where in the hell have you been for the last three days?
You didn't leave a bar of soap when you left me.
And you didn't stick around to see the teardrops on my face.

Also, Computer Camp Love by the same band.

"Puff the magic Dragon" was a song we sang in kindergarten and it made me sad because it made me think of the inevitabile death of my Cairn Terrier, Murphy.

She did die 13 years later.

Of course, any drug implications in the song were oblivious to me, but as local crack head JPaul enlightened me, "chasing the dragon" is about heroin.

Recommending a song is not about what I might like, but more what you think is a great song and something people who would never hear it otherwise, might give a listen because you attest to its brilliance.

To me, I judge songs on their individual merit and I do not exclude anything because of the genre label placed upon them.

I think that "Puff" was more about a boy growing up than anything else.

The loss of magic and fantasy is a harsh blow.

'k then, hobbes.

Try Alkaline Trio-This Could be Love, on for size.

I've got a book of matches, I've got a can of kerosene. I've got some mad ideas, involving you and me...

Or just about anything by Snow Patrol; Velocity Girl, Run, or Spitting Games, for instance.

Or The Killers-Mr. Brightside, 'cos I feel like that, a lot of the time.

The Horror of Party Beach - Sloppy Seconds

A song based on a rather bad 1950's B-movie. The film also featured on a MST3k episode.

Even though I have it on vinyl, I was really tempted to buy, John Martyn - Solid Air, on cd version the other day. Dragged meself away from the market before I could spend my dinner pennies. So I nominate;

May You Never - John Martyn.

Could listen to it every hour, every day and not get bored. :wub:

I would like to download every recommendation, but I have no filesharing program on my new computer.

Well, what file sharing program would you guys recommend.

I would repeatedly get the:

"deleting all physical files " bluescreen with the k-lite program.

It actually didn't do anything, but my new computer is expensive and I can't risk problems like that.

What is a safe and reliable way to download music (for me) and porn (for a friend).

I don't have any computer skillz, nor do I want to acquire any.

Emule or ares are easy to handle, and any bittorrent client, like azureus is good, but torrents are a tad trickier to use, as you can't just search for what you want through the client.

There's lots more I could recommend, light-hearted, surreal, poetic, et al.

But I reckon getting the stuff already in this thread is going to be fun enough for someone who hasn't really tried p2p before.

You might have to tell your firewall to let whatever you try through, but it shouldn't be too hard.

Well, I do have 3,000 songs, 157 movies and some "educational clips" downloaded via P2P and the k-lite browser.

I just like things point and click simple.

Perhaps you could get a gmail account (if you haven't already) and the chaps here can send you a copy of their suggested music to that address.

Get an address like [email protected]

At The Moderation we had a shared gmail account, we all knew the password, that we uploaded "articles of interest" to. I don't suppose that would work on a larger forum as someone would probably hijack the account and change the password. :rolleyes:

We should do that for FST and only give the password and username to trusted members.

And like never mention the username or especially the password in public. Only PM's.

We should do this.

erm...well I wouldn't neither recommend you click on the link in my sig. and get yourself a free opennap client and then come and log in on my file-sharing server, where I made you and quite a few other members of the board a "friend" already, so you can always log in...even when the server is full...but that's up to you...nor would I recommend you use the winlop client, which is probably the best opennap file-sharing client there is... :)
