Because I have been so hideously slack and lazy lately, I am
going to take you on a…Journey….(I HATE that word) inside my brain and to so, I
am going to be hideously boring.
To begin with I am simply going to show you what the song is
(according to my iPod) that is my most played.
Most of the time, when people look at the “most played” song
in their iPod or iTunes, they think “ERhMaGerhd How?” Most of the time this is
a result of an episode in their lives in which they found an anthem. A song
that symbolized everything they were going through, a song they loved more than
they ever thought they could. Sometimes it is the result of a friend getting
your iPod finding Edward Khill’s Trololol song and playing it time after time
just to hear the laughing bit. Or (in the case of my first iPod) it could be
result of putting a song on repeat (mine was Feeling A Moment by Feeder) and
then having said device get turned on in your handbag and repeat he song 55
times over the course of the day.
Riverbed is no surprise to me to be honest. I do listen to
it a lot. I mean A LOT. It is by no means my favourite song, but it is my go to
song. It’s nice and easy to sing a long to in the car and it was very quick to
memorize, thus it is the most played on my iPod. It also makes an appearance in
most of my playlists. I’m not entirely sure why I decided to put it there in
most cases, but apparently I did. So there.
I’d also like to point out to you that today is the 143rd
anniversary of two luck Cornishmen happening upon a very (and I mean VERY)
large piece of gold at Moliagul in 1869. When the nugget, now known as the “Welcome
Stranger”, was found it weighed just under 110kg and was just over a foot long.
The discoverers, John Deason and Richard Oates didn’t have to work particularly
hard to find it, it was only 3cm below the surface under a tree. Unfortunately for
us this gigantic nugget was melted down.
