[e last broadcast]

fri was the last ever instalment of x'ho's groovisions show on 99.5. it's e second time his shows have been axed.. passion 99.5 is closing for good on tue 30th dec. why? is the local music scene so dead?

its still downright difficult to find local albums. ive been searching for 3 for eons now - ger's on my own, zircon gov pawnstarz' Follywood and e Observatory's Time of Rebirth.. only TODAY, NOW, do i finally get my paws on the first (ger's on my own). hmv simply doesn't carry a wide selection of local music, and neither do all the small shops. it's just not commercially viable. my heart and spirit still lie with tower for daring to stock them.

feeling extremely disaffected now - there's just nothing to sustain my interest, nothing to look forward to, no challenge to work towards. not hurt nor injured. spent. spent, empty, goal-less. after a lifetime of exams (not that im going to see the end of exams for me anytime soon.. it's just a temporary respite) things are just so strange when you no longer have fixed, discernable goals and aims. i've lost my guiding light, and i need to find it again.

Doves - e Last Broadcast

I was thinking about what you said
I was thinking about shame
The funny thing how you said
Cause it's better not to stay
Sure enough if you feel nothing
You're better off this way
Gets to the point where you can't breathe
It's the last word
I can see it standing

So here we are
At the last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast

Sun on faces made us feel alive
The colours of the sky
Southern trees, made us enemies
Who knows the reason why?
You can't escape yourself
You can't just fall away
It comes to the point when you feel nothing
This is the last time
Cause I can see it in your eyes

So here we are
At the last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast

This is
The last broadcast
Here we are
Our last broadcast

dubstar - stars

Is it asking too much to be given time
to know these songs and to sing them
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
and my laugh and lies that bring them

But as the stars are going out
and this stage is full of nothing
and the friends have all but gone
for my life my god I'm singing

We'll take our hearts outside
Leave our lives behind
I'll watch the stars go out

Is it asking too much of my favorite friends
to take these songs for real
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
to take these songs real

Is it asking too much
Is it asking too much...
