Musing

The Excitement is Building or [big grin] Oasis fans, we have an unconfirmed track listing for the new album! Various sources, while not quoting an original source, seem to believe that most of it is authentic. The title of the album, "Don't Believe the Truth", was recently confirmed by one of the Gallagher brothers. Hopefully they keep it, cos I like it. I've heard a live clip of Stop the Clocks, and several of the others have been mentioned by Noel himself in various interviews. The boys recorded 66 songs for this album (!) and wanted to release a double album, but they don't want to give Sony that much goodness (this is their last contracted album with Sony). 1. Love Is Like A Bomb 2. The Meaning Of Soul 3. Stop The Clocks 4. A Bell Will Ring 5. Mucky Fingers 6. Mosquito 7. Guess God Thinks I’m Able 8. Part Of The Queue 9. Lord Don't Slow Me Down 10. I Stand Alone 11. The Importance Of Being Idle 12. I Want To Live In A Dream In My R...

The 2004 Ho's Choice Music Awards Welcome one and all to the most anticipated post of every year on Musing - the HCMAs! Without further ado, let's get it on. Discovery Artist of the Year - Dave Matthews Band In the band's own way, DMB has become my number one fav.

And indeed, with a saxophonist and a violinist, they are nothing like your typical rock band. For the ability to cover the entire gamut of emotions that any one person can feel and for skill virtually unsurpassed by any others, there is really no other choice more deserving of this award than the Dave Matthews Band. Album of the Year - Get Born by Jet Start to finish, this album is 100% rock 'n' roll music at its best. The fact that they sound like an early version of Oasis or The Strokes helps t...

Happy & Optimistic [Alternate Take] - Updated or Bookmania! Having forced my musical opinions on all of you only a couples weeks ago, I decided that I may as well continue the abuse and mention (as briefly as possible) which books I am looking forward to in this year 2005. ~ Robert Jordan has taken a lot of shit for the slow pace of the last four Wheel of Time books, but for fans like myself who are willing to forgive all of his faults just so we can make it to the Last Battle, the anticipation over 2005's release ( Knife of Dreams ) is building steadily. No official month of release yet, although Tor's website promises "early 2005." Yeah, I'll believe it when I'm holding it in my two hands. ~ Just a few days ago, the official release date for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was announced - July 16th. Very few details have been released as of yet, other than the teaser that the opening chapter of HPatHBP has been brewing in the author...
