and then get laughed at by pedestrians as you get carried away singing along at the traffic lights.

re: you edit, Zydeco stuff is cool. Middle Eastern and North African music can be good to drive to, especially if you are going to talk over it rather than sing a long :)

I have their album Alcohol and Rain and Milgi Milgi is a right romping little number and one that I imagine you would go for although I don't know why.

Oh sounds good

I'm away for two weeks as of this afternoon
so you'll have to remind me when I get back. Are you still woodwolf [at] yourusername.me or something?

Half right
the woodwolf adress is in my profile, my other addy is myusername at myusername dot me dot uk

I'll try and remember when you get back! Have a really good time, I love(d) it up there, although you really need to be on a motorbike to make the most of it* ;)

*getting cold & rained on etc

Where abouts are you going?

( Fenris temporary Lazarus, Fri 8 Jul 2005, 11:58, archived)

About 6 miles from Drumnadrochit and Urquhart castle.
It's about halfway up Loch Ness and up a bit.

Ah sweet
I went down that road but it was so nice (to ride) that I caned it past the castle without getting a decent look.

There is a much better castle not too far from where you're going to be and it's a nice ride drive to get there. Head towards Kyle of Lochalsh and it's near Inverinate and Shiel Bridge. Definitely worth an excursion.

Eilean Donan castle?
If so, I think it is the one they used in Entrapment. My girlfriend keeps banging on about how great it is.

If you drive around playing Middle Eastern music, you get some really good stares from people.

Agreed, that songs with non-English lyrics are easier to talk over. I much prefer those.

at their terrible lyrics.

I've said it before
and I'll say it again: metal ain't about the lyrics, it's about how angry and loud you sing them ;P

Go take a look at the shite Disturbed have come out with but they still rock with at least 1.5 hands.

I'm just against
supposedly meaningful lyrics that mean fuck all.
