Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd and more.

So, the title explained:

The bit about Ozzy concerns my last Creative Writing project. We are currently studying a play called Rum and Vodka, written by Connor MacPherson. We were asked to continue the monologue as we felt fit, and mine ended up with the protagonist biting the head off a bat, akin to the Prince of Darkness on tour one year. Dark, but funny. Apparently.

Pink Floyd? I was listening to Dark Side of the Moon earlier. I don't care what anyone says, that album is as good as it was almost 40 years ago when it first came out. Simply stunning effort by the 'Floyd. No wonder it was released in 1973 and didn't drop off the Billboard Top 200 in the 'States until 2001.

I'm currently listening to/watching Metallica's show from Rock Am Ring in 2008. I'm not looking at the setlist at all - Metallica change theirs nearly every show, and not one song is constant throughout a tour. For example, if they have a 60 date tour, the most played song will feature 59 times. I rather like that idea - it gives fans something different each time they play. If I were the singer of a band, I'd want setlists to change every night, pyros, staging with different levels, changing backdrops, the works - these people have come to see a show, and the minute I had the chance to add something in I would. Even if that meant starting off small by releasing beach balls into the crowd, I'd do it, make sure everyone watching went away having had a good time and wanting to see us again.

Not much else has happened today I don't think. Oh wait, I had another shelf fitted in my room. This is most helpful to my living arrangements - my room is now perfect for me this year :).

It's getting pretty hot in here. Apparently temperatures are meant to soar to 23 degrees by the end of the week again. I can hardly wait.

Nothing else to really say. Drama Society tomorrow with the election of our new Vice President, of which I'm in the running. I hope I get it!
