Shun the non-believer, shun!





Pedal Stool

I have been a long term fan of Nine Inch Nails and an avid follower of anything Trent Reznor. One of my favourite moments, is this stark piano piece from 1999's epic double album The Fragile.



I was tempted to post a great live clip of The Frail/The Wretched, though decided against it (obviously). The transition between the two songs is in my opinion, one of the best, however I also believe that The Wretched actually detracts from the beauty of it's precursory track.

Not getting tickets to Splendour? Priceless.

By now you would have heard about the Splendour lineup. And how it sold out in record time. You are possibly aware of how I feel about three of the bigger names on the bill? Let's not go there, it's painful. You probably didn't hear that I was offered tickets presale. You won't believe that I declined.

Why? I guess I was exercising this new power I recently obtained. A little thing called "self-control". Oh and although seeing At The Drive In smash it to pieces would be so very sweet (damn it, that hurts), it's simply not going to get me to where I want to be.

Back on the train. Back in India.

Some people call it "negativity", I just call it boring

And I am so glad that ship has once again sailed. The one full of pirates, looting and shooting. They never seem to win these days, my army is now too strong a match. Still it's enough to shake my confidence just that little bit. I welcome the challenge however, as I know I am up to it and every time I feel that wake I know that I am better for it.

Have you ever noticed that dogs don't compare themselves to other dogs?

Remember that the only thing that defines you, is you. It's not about what you have, or have not; who you have beside you, or don't have beside you. It's only, solely about the person that you are and how you convey this to the world. This alone is what divides those who are great, from those who are not.
