Pigman II · 24-05-2008 10:27am

Chemicals by Notwist.

Just love the way this song feels like it's discovering itself for the first 1:30 and then starts to play for real goes into a solo in form of one of those classic "dial up" internet connection beeps and whistles.

"Hey com put er nerd! You will be connected in no time."

Yann Tiersen - Comptine d'un autre été: l'après-midi

But in fairness it's a pretty short track. Still, must've listened to it 12 or 13 times last night.

Dude. Just played it since you reminded me and now harking La Valse d'Amelie which is seductively hypnotic like most of that soundtrack, top cd.
I'm glad I never heard these tracks before I saw the movie (which I watched twice back to back) for fear the chronology might have robbed them of their charm which is of course inextricably linked to the Amelie character.

Anyway, years ago: The Doors - Peace Frog
(all the way down to Galway averaging 80mph in a 957cc Red Fiesta Festival with go faster stripes, cast iron block, no head gasket worries)

There's something about repetition ok, little in life makes a connection so deep and personal as that certain song, and playing it over is like saying "this is what I've been through" / "this is who I am" / "this is what I want" or what not in a determined self-affirming way.

That said as my collection and tastes have diversified over the years I now tend to have long sessions playing a ton of stuff quite frequently, and often cutting over after the first chorus to get a does of as many "experiences" as quickly as possible like some crazed glutton at a buffet.
