There's something
in the zeitgeist... I was looking up War Of The Worlds on deezer the day before yesterday, having not heard the album for years (lent it to someone and never got it back). I was looking for a song which I thought was Forever Autumn, but turned out not to be. It was bugging me so much I nearly posted here to ask you all for help, until I realised you guys would need a bit more to go on than "what song is that, sounds a bit like Forever Autumn but isn't, and is sung by someone whose name escapes me but might be John something, who was in a band but the song wasn't done by him with the band...?"

Pocket Full of Kryptonite is an awesome album. I only have it on tape though, for some reason, but always enjoy it heartily when I listen to it.

I have also recently gone back to my favourite Supertramp album - Crisis? What Crisis? - which my dad used to listen to when I was little. I haven't heard it for maybe 20 years, treated myself and bought it off amazon... when I started to play it I got goosebumps, and then I proceeded to sing the entire album even though I hadn't heard the words in all that time.

I go back to The Pixies too, they got me through my teens... they make me feel weird when I listen to them but I like it... I have kind of weird acidy associations with them. And speaking of acid, I have been having a Prodigy revival lately.

Oh! And the Fella got me the Grange Hill album last week... wow. Three discs of pure nostalgia. We were in the car when we started listening to it, and arrived at home half way through the first CD. We didn't move until we'd listened to every song on all three CDs, and Son of Fella (who's 12) despaired of us and unloaded all the shopping by himself and went in the house.
