Distraction... Video Alphabet "O"

Wow! It's been a number of busy of days for me and the blog has suffered. I'm back to it tonight though and the video blogging. I think once I hit "Z", I'm going to broaden my horizons for a spell and diversify this page to reflect some of my other interests. This has been strangely fun though, like spending a week or two going through your entire music collection. Think about how many songs one encounters in a lifetime and then think about how many really stick with you. It's really a vast amount of personal history and experience to dwell on and go on about. But anyhoo...

"O" is for Oasis - "Slideaway"



This has got to be one of my favourite Oasis songs live from Glastonbury 2005... and I'm hoping to experience some live Oasis in September if all goes according to plan.

"O" is for The Ocean Blue - "Between Something and Nothing" and "Ballerina Out of Control"





The best band to ever emerge from Pennsylvania... I was so thrilled when this band came out because it gave me hope that the type of music I enjoy could come out of this area! Sadly, I don't think this band was ever as appreciated as they could be here at home, but they have done very well cultivating a following aboard. I think I remember hearing they have new album coming soon... I'll have to look into that more.

"O" is for Ocean Colour Scene - "Mechanical Wonder"



It's amazing where you find long sought after items sometimes. I remember trying to find The Mechanical Wonder CD in a record store, and never had any luck. But strangely one afternoon I ended up in a pawn shop with someone who wanted to check out a guitar we saw in the window, so I thought "oh, I'll just look through all the CDs and movies while we're here". Lo and behold there it was just waiting for me to take it home!
