See - getting there slowly...

Ok... I think I shall have to come back to this... its proving harder than I thought to find love songs that rejoice in it instead of whinging about a lost love or talking about the carnal side of things exclusively.

*sigh* what on earth made me decide to do this?. I guess everyone is right.
I'm insane - truly, its the only answer.

Charmed, I'm sure

Lists...
Ahhh I feel many to come - so here's a list of the ones I shall attempt *grin* told you this blog was a simple timewaster...

'Best of ' list:
  1. Love songs
  2. Happy tunes
  3. Break up songs
  4. Summer tunes
  5. Chill choooons
  6. Angry songs
  7. Karoke songs
  8. Albums
  9. Melancholy songs
  10. 'Silly' tunes

But where does it end? Do I make it a top 100 for all my lists? hmmm... actually - I don't see why not.

Right then. Top 100 for everything. Wait til the next post for my top 100 love songs... I'm not sure how I'll manage with the happy tunes though - have you noticed how thats the smallest 'genre' of music? and I'm betting there'll be a fair amount of crossover in all this - can't help but really.

In the real world...

I make lists - lots of lists. Lists of things I want/ need/ have to do/ see... I'm a compulsive list maker.
It's what I do when I'm bored and feeling bleaugh.
So, this is my 'bleaugh' blog. It'll kill a small amount of time while I decide what to do with the rest of the evening.
