Time to make a post in a timely manner. It was Record Store Day last Saturday and who am I to say no?  

Personally I prefer buying CDs over digital downloads. Although downloads are quick and easy for instant gratification when you want that quick fix (curse you, Bieber!), I still find there's something tangible about the casing and the sleeve art that makes CDs worthwhile. Secondly I like collecting them in an obsessive compulsive manner, so I'll often end up buying as many discs as I can afford. And on occasions such as these I'll buy more than I can afford.

Stuff to sort. Bypass the stack!

I ended up buying stuff from Elvis Costello and Gossip on CD and a remastered recording of Derek and The Dominoes' Layla on vinyl. The resurgence of vinyl is so strong that you can buy some shocking things in this medium now. I once saw a copy of the Katy Perry album in vinyl form and wondered if the autotune on 'Hot and Cold' was that much richer and fulfilling. Funny how Russell Brand's comments on pop stars overdosing on drugs to prevent them making bad music clearly shows he has no sense of irony at all.

On a somewhat related note, today on the tram I overheard someone saying they used to work for JB HiFi and how the staff discount sold them stock at wholesale price. I've wasted half my life not working for these guys.

Okay, so I lied about being over and done with all those holiday pics. These ones do lead somewhere though, so hang on there for a few seconds more.


This hastily taken photo was taken outside one of the hotels I was staying at. I think it's some sort of karaoke type place. Or the world's largest ball pit... actually that'd be kinda fun.


How many of you take the time to deface and then remove in flight material from aircraft? Well now you know one of them.

Why am I showing you all of these silly pictures? Why is the title in French? Am I being bought out by some French corporation? Look below to see what I acquired with the help of my sister the other day...


I am pleased to say I now own one a copy of one of the worst songs ever written. I'm not sure why I feel this way about bad music, but it all became clear when I heard the instrumental version on the B-side for the first time off the vinyl. Must... fight urge... to sing along....

On the other hand, if you really do feel like singing along here's the instrumental version on YouTube. It's a bit longer than the usual track but it'll do.



And why sing along without the lyrics? You'll end up looking like one of those smucks who compete on "Don't Forget The Lyrics" and have done just that.

Girl
I can't understand it why you want to hurt me
After all the things I've done for you.
I buy you champagne and roses and diamonds on your finger -
Diamonds on your finger -
Still you hang out all night
what am I to do?

My girl wants to party all the time

Party all the time
party all the time.
My girl wants to party all the time
party all the time.

She parties all the time - party all the time

She likes to party all the time - party all the time

party all the time - she likes to party all the time

party all the time.

Girl
I've seen you in clubs just hanging out and dancing.
You give your number to every man you see.
You never come home at night because you're out romancing.
I wish you bring some of your love home to me.

But my girl wants to party all the time
. . .
My girl wants to party all the time
. . .

Party
party
party she likes to party all the time.
She likes to party all the time -
She lets her hair down
she lets her body down:
She lets her body
she lets her body down.
Party all the time - do you wanna get any party
yeah.
Party all the time - party all the time.

That's all from me for now, join me next time when I talk about music that isn't PATT. That's right, we're too cool to refer to the song by its full name.
