A very attractive man. Not me. Him.

mmmm i really like the marching bit on the beginning of muse's absolution, but i don't think that counts as a track.
all i wanna do is rock by travis is a great track. shame about 75% of the rest of that album really.

Anton Chekhov - Smash Hits

'I've Been Embalmed!'

Placebo has an instrumental opening track on the Sleeping With Ghosts album. Bulletproof Cupid- might not be the best track but i think its a good way to start the album. Was good at the gig too, they played it first with a translucent curtain down, it created a good atmosphere, got everyone screaming! lol

Dismantling a person is sometimes necessary...

My faves are:

Block Rockin' Beats- The Chemical Brothers.
Leave Home- The Chemical Brothers.
Music:Response- The Chemical Brothers.
Right Here Right Now- Fatboy Slim.
Do You Know Squarepusher- Squarepusher
Best Get Ready- DJ Scissorkicks.

I'll think of more later

I hope some day, for some reason, David Duchovny is investigated by the FBI. Because that would make a great story.

pain like a drain on my sense of wonder,makes you wonder,how many butterflies have died in growing old and trying to please the ones they least admire?

Hope is important.

walking barefoot by ash.

sorry I'm talking sheer b*ll*cks here - I thought we were doing best song openings, not album openings. Ignore the above post.

weebles wobble. but they dont fall down.

Intro-Smashing pumpkins (on Mellon collie...)
The Passage- Ephel Duath (painter's palette)
I zimbra- Talking heads (fear of music)
Lust for life- Iggy (trainspotting ost)*

*i know... originally on Iggy's Lust for Life LP, but it sounds better as an opener on the soundtrack.

I've always found that 3rd and 11th tracks are pretty good on albums. 3rd, as it is the peak of a wave begun on the opener, and 11th in a kind of 'ah... you think we're through with you? Think again!' kinda thang.

trk3- first it giveth qotsa
11- nightswimming REM
3- Hey! Johnny park Foo fighters
11- Vibrate Mr Scruff

I think the evidence is conclusive...

my god, they argued for years on 'zine about that though.

"track 7 is the best track of all because track 7 on these albums are:"

"no no no, track 4 is the best because lalalalalalala"

I think 7 won out in the end.
