chidade.net upgrade

Posted on April 8th, 2007 in Meta

Just moved chidade.net to a new server. Also moved this blog to a subdirectory as you may have noticed. Will have something put on the home page one day. You may need to update and RSS feeds you have. Hopefully the new one works.

Gah! I have schoolwork to do, I shouldn’t be working on this >.<

I met my love…

3.31pm: Get excited and go “whee!” when Robbie Buck plays Cats, Rats and Pigeons by Jackson Jackson. Noticed with pleasant surprise that Harry falls into a bit of Pogues action when he sings refrains from Dirty Old Town.

3.35pm: Vow to buy Jackson Jackson album despite the fact that I’m meant to be saving for Japan.

3:36pm:
Get pissed off at Robbie Buck when he plays Missy fucking Higgins’ mainstream trash again. Switch to PBS.

3:37pm: Do a double take when the first words I hear on PBS are “dirty old town” being sung country and western style by Frank Black. Ok, Frank Black, awesomeness incarnated with the Pixies, etc etc. But a country style of Dirty Old Town? Actually, probably not as bizarre as Harry’s rendition.

3:41pm: Wonder idley whether Shane McGowan would be turning in his grave over these multiple and often bizarre remakes of his music.

3:43pm: Discover on Wikipedia that Shane McGowan isn’t actually dead yet. WTF? Biggest surprise of the last 15 minutes.
