Musical Monday #44 - Wake Up Boo

A song from my mis-spent youth! After chatting with an old friend on Facebook he reminded me of this song. Back in the Day Dave (aka Pogo), Jay, Gemma and Me used to trundle down into Kent to go Live Roleplaying. And we usually crashed in my mums lounge so we could get an early start.

And every weekend, this was the first song we put on while getting our crap together at the arse-crack of dawn! The Boo Radleys - Wake Up Boo is just a good summer song that reminds me of good times, when, between us, we made less than £100 a week training to be accountants, but still managed to hang out and have a good time.

Hurrah for youth! In an effort to see what the old crowd is doing, I'm actually trying to arrange (thanks to the Almighty Being that is Facebook!) a day we can all get back together, somewhere warm, barbecue, chilling out and having a laugh...

And lastly, before I pass out through exhaustion... My new ringtone is perhaps the best, loudest, hardest-to-ignore ringtone in the known universe...

Obviously, I don't have the stupid owl thing, just the sound - this was the first video on the list... So when you phone me, remember, if I am asleep, I will probably kill you. Dead. Hard. And then some more dead.

Welcome!

Welcome to 0ddness!

For the newcomers amongst you, this blog is one of my little corners of the web where I generally spout rubbish, rant and rave about minor things, share music I love (and can't stand) and generally put the world to rights from my little corner of the web. I might talk about something I've watched, my family, my aches and pains, an upcoming movie, the news... and then switch to the weather, the crazy idiot I met in the street and the speed of a cat when running for its life.

You don't have to agree with what I say or think, you just have to be polite in your discussion!

Aside from posting here (I would say on a regular basis, but it's mood/brain dependant of late) I also post photos on-and-off on my Tumblr page. There is literally nothing but photos I've taken via Instagram on there, and I am by no means artistic - I just like some of the pictures I take.

You can also visit my Last.fm page to see what I've been listening to while banging around the house. If you think the Musical Monday section is a very random mix of tracks, you ain't seen nothin' yet!!

And if you have eyes, you will also see that you can find me on Facebook (as well as the blog having its own page) and I randomly appear on Twitter just to moan or whatever.

Lastly, a common question I get is "How do I comment on your posts?" On the top of each post, there is a little speech-bubble icon with a number beside it. Click that number to enter "Comments" and away you go!

Welcome, enjoy, discuss!

Nancy Jensen said...: What an obnoxious ringtone. If you were a stranger sitting near me at a restaurant or yet a movie and your cell phone went off.... I think I would have to kill you! Dead and hard and all that. LOL But it did get the attention of all 4 of my kids who are sitting here playing our new Wii. Wow, something that actually made them stop playing the game system that they have been begging for since it came out - and we have had it less than a week! Well... that ringtone is definitely an attention getter.... you wouldn't be able to ignore that ring... and if you did, someone near you would make you answer it for sure.

ps glad you don't have that ridiculous owl on your phone as well... now that would be just a tad over the edge.; June 16, 2008 3:35 am
Dan said...: Glad you love it ;) BUT you will be pleased to know it goes off or at least to silent when I am in certain places ;)

Though I often leave it on just for the comedy factor :D

Of course, you think that's bad - Jo loved it so much she stole it and has it as her Text Message alert... Now THAT would be scary!; June 16, 2008 7:05 am
