Bijan Sabet: The upside of rejection →
This morning I was thinking about rejection.
On my way to the office I happened to pass by a former building owned by NYNEX.
Back in early 1991, just months before I would graduate from college, a number of my classmates were getting jobs at fancy big companies in Boston.
Others were going…

Heart in a Box
Grey’s Anatomy, season 8, episode 8 “Heart-Shaped Box”:
Cristina:
Heart in a box, what should I put on my wish list? Heart in a box, what should I put on my sandwich?
Can’t believe how many great songs this episode has! Every song sounds just so perfect. Kudos to those ones who chose the music for this episode. I recommend you to check these tunes out… 1....

Wonderful Life vs. Called Out In The Dark
I really like Hurts’ song Wonderful Life. It has nice 80’s sound and look even it was actually made in 2010.
Snow Patrol has recently released a single Called Out In The Dark from their new coming album Fallen Empire. If you listen to the single, wouldn’t you think that it sounds similar to the Wonderful Life???

Adele - Set Fire To The Rain (Thomas Gold Remix)

Admittedly the original song is very good but it’s a rare occasion when a good remixer cannot oomph the song properly. I think there is enough oomph here.. what do...

Retail Therapy - Extempore style
Today I was just going to go and browse the shops and see if there is anything I’d like, plus I knew I needed some new T-shirts but as I don’t like shopping and not really shopping when it is Saturday I didn’t think I’d actually buy anything. To my surprise I managed to do quite well today. Painless experience and also I kept my budget which was £60. I love extempore...

A musical discovery of the day
Because of heavy advertising of soon starting Formula 1 season I’ve been racking my brain to think what is the song they use there, but thanks to the all knowing Internet, I have my answer now! It’s Fleetwood Mac - The Chain.
The bit what is used for adverts starts at 03.04, but whole song is really really cool.

This song used to be somewhat talisman song for me. I listened this at home before exams, such as Taekwon-do belt exams. I have no idea why this song particularly was so important to me, and why I still love it, and I still know the words to…cannot explain it…

This song reminds me of when we - the IT students from class 98 - graduated (receiving the Vocational Qualification in Business Information Technology = datanomi) from Jyväskylä’s Adult Education Centre and when we all went to party since it was our final night together as a group. This was one of the many many great songs which was played but this one I particularly remember!

This song particularly reminds me of Eeva-Maija, whom I’ve been friends with 24 years now. She is really a dear friend of mine, and it is a shame that she is so far away, living in Frankfurt with her husband and their little daughter Emma-Sofia. Luckily there are emails and phone calls but it’s not the same as talking face to face and making this world a bit better place every time we...

There’s plenty of versions out there of “You’re My Sunshine” but I do really like Stine J’s version. As a bonus a fan video made by Nereis8 - two gorgeous men - Brian and Justin from Queer as Folk.

30 Day Song Challenge - Day 2 - My least favourite...
This does not make sense. Why I would want list something I don’t really like since there are so many tunes that I like?? But rules are rules I guess.
This song is hugely popular, but for me it has never done anything other than caused great annoyance and great wonder thinking who the f are these people who love this kind of shit?!?

Right…This is not as easy to pick actually as one would think, since I have so many favourites! It always seems to be depending on my mood or what I have been listening recently and since recently the music I have been listening is from the 80’s, I shall pick something I liked back in then, and I actually still like…

one door closes, other one opens
It has been two weeks since our Captain Hastings died. There is not a day yet when I do not feel deep sorrow in my heart because of it. One might wonder how can one love so much such a tiny animal, but those who think so, do not know anything. A pet is not just a pet, Captain Hastings became a member of our family the day he came to us.
When you are feeling so much loss like we did, it felt like...

Captain Hastings and visit to vet.
Captain Hastings’ log:
“What a crappy day. I was chilling out in my new red igloo when Momma put me in the black bag she uses to carry me to places. I did not like it so pooped a bit, ha ha ha. Some lady held and poked me, and gave me a shot. I haven’t done anything in order to deserve that. Luckily that took like 5 minutes and then we were off again. I noticed that we were...
