    I'm liking "Wash Away" by Joe Purdy ever since I heard it on Lost.

    Perfect tune for when the exams are over. ;)

    I've been listening to Flock again and again and again and again for the last few days. I really should invest in a new CD some time soon!

    C&C music is REALLY motivating for some reason :)
    I suppose the power to destroy whole armies can somehow be transferred to studying...
    /me hums Red Alert 2 theme in the hope of getting some work done
    /me gives up and starts looking for a Mac version of RA2

    Europe - the Final Countdown
    Supergrass - Alright ("We are young, we are free....!")

    I truly and honestly, from the bottom of my heart, apologise for reanimating this corpse of a thread, but I didn't want to start a new one and then be accused of not using the Search button.

    Anyway, finalised my "Summing Up Exams 2006" Playlist, including:

    Billy Bragg - Accident Waiting To Happen
    Brand New - Failure By Design
    Placebo - Ask For Answers
    Green Day - At The Library (an ironic choice, as anyone who knows me will agree)
    The Clash - Rudie Can't Fail
    Funeral For A Friend - History
    Coldplay - Politik
    Faithless - Crazy English Summer
    Taking Back Sunday - Divine Intervention
    Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush - Don't Give Up
    Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Even The Losers Get Lucky Sometimes
    Belle & Sebastian - Expectations
    James - Gettin' Away With It
    Green Day - Good Riddance
    Elbow - Grace Under Pressure (Yeah, I wish)
    Sugar Ray - Falls Apart
    The Format - I'm Ready, I Am
    Lenny Kravitz - It Ain't Over Til It's Over
    Sugarcult - Memory
    Alkaline Trio - Prevent This Tragedy
    Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
    New Order - Regret
    Clint Mansell - Requiem For A Dream

    There. That pretty well sums up the jist of it. Fun times.
    Again, many apologies for draggin' this thread back up, and even more profuse apologies for posting such a limply inane post as well, but... F**k it.
