I just want to let you know, all my rants and let them go...

-Muse, Easily.



Yup. I'm back. Again. Busy on many a thing.



I've decided it'd be easier for me to rant on a WEEKLY basis and not daily. On a Thursday (it is Thursday, isn't it?...). So check back (whoever bothers to read this) then.



So, this week I'm going to ramble on about Rhianna, British weather and storyline-less games.



----------------------------------------------------



I don't really link my music tastes to the main UK music chart at all, but I do like it when some decent music earns its place there. Or good, sparkling new potential.



However, the 'queen of the charts' for the past ten or eleven weeks hasn't impressed me at all (or most of my friends). Rhianna with her insecant 'Umbrella'. Which is really, really ironic seeing as the weather in the UK's been ruddy dreadful. For the past month it's been raining the majority of the time. I don't like really hot days either, but that's just ridiculous. I mean; what's the song trying to put across? The same as all other pop music, really. "Come and kiss me and sleep with me because I'm so awesome and fit and pretty and neneneh". What's the point? I've heard it all before. Music with substance and meaning only really make me react positively. Ones that spark your imagination, ones that create a different picture in the mind of every person who hears it. Provoke emotion, maybe, even. So, don't go buying all the crap in that tops the charts forever, people, 'cos it's rarely good. But no, that would require a brain cell...



Which then leads me onto games without meanings. My brother tends to like them a lot...Just fighting and fighting and fighting again. There's nothing to follow, nothing to do, other than punch this computerised...I don't know...cheese. And the graphics tend to be HORRIBLE. They make my eyes go 'boom' (doesn't help when the ruddy sound they make wakes me up at seven in the morning 'cos he's up at five).



Hmmph. Okay. You've read this far so you deserve a treat:

~Dead Star; rock owns rave music.

I'll see my school implode, we're getting out...

- Muse, Hysteria.


XD Outa school early today due to thunderstorms and stuff. Only school in the area to do so ^_^.

I was in my English class with my three mates that are in there with me and we were making these games (theirs a MCR Cluedo and ours a music trivia game) and we were told to stay in our classroom over break. Many people would have complained but we were fine, I guess. Was rather warm still, despite the rain and all that jazz, it was. And then we find school's closed ^_^ so there.


Well, I don't really know what to talk about...I'll just put some Muse trivia up. I have nothing better to do! So stop your complaining. Now.

-Dead Star; Muse wiki-articles is all she can memorize.



Muse Trivia (as promised)
--------------------------------

The three members of Muse (from left, Dom Howard - drums, Matt Bellamy - electric guitar, lead singer and pianist & Chris Wolstenholme - base, backing vocals) are from Stockport, Cambridge and Rotherham however the band originated in a small town called Teignmouth in Devon, when the boys were around fourteen.

They have had four studio albums (in chronological order: Showbiz, Origin of Symmetry, Absolution & Black Holes and Revelations) and one DVD soundtrack (Hullabaloo Soundtrack). However, the third studio album was maybe not as sucsessful as hoped in the US, originally to be released in 2001 along with the rest of the world, "but was eventually released in 2005 when Muse left Maverick Records. It was released after Absolution became succsessful in the US"

Muse started young and are still only in their late twenties (Matt 29 - June 9th 1978, Dom also 29 - 7th December 1977 and Chris 28 - December 2nd 1978).

Dom and Matt share the same middle name: James. Chris' middle name is Tony.

Matt's father, George Bellamy, was the rhythm guitarist in a band called The Tornadoes, the first English band to gain a US number one - 'Telstar'.

Matt was voted 18th best rock frontman recently in Kerrang magazine; 29th best guitarist in Total Guitar magazine's top 100 guitar players in the world.

------------------------------------------

I could go on, but I'll spare you that torture.

So please please please, give us a post this time

Muse's cover of 'Please, Please, Please Let Me Get what I want'. So technically The Smiths wrote it...It's a very strange song.


"Lord knows, it would be the first time" in a while...




...Sorry people! I have found out I'm imaginary (and so are my readers so, it figures).




I've been prodding Wikipedia (with a spork >:D) of information whilst I was trying to find a name for a school in my story, and gave up when I found:I apologize. It's very small. But you can read it* if you look close enough...LOOK CLOSE ENOUGH DARN YOU!!!



Red spray paint *Beloved*



Anyhow, you're not getting anything sane from me today, I've been walking around my house using a broom like one of those little cane things that those people on stages dance with and singing a song about how I was having pie tonight (it was quieche, actually, but it rhymed with 'hi' so there).



...Yes.

I was.

It didn't spin me around very well, though, I nearly crashed into the wall.



OMGHH. NO ASTERIKS. NOT...ACCEPTABLE...*choke*



There we go. I've added another one in the sentence (or two, or three) above so this won't really apply anymore...I've just wasted five seconds of your life AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING IT BACK!

-Dead Star; changing Wikehpedia one word at a time.

* :O Wikipedia has left out some information... >:D nobody leaves out information on Muse...So here you go:



We can now rest in knowing I won't errupt for another three hours and thir... twenty-nine minutes.

I'm feeling rather ill; well it's a Crying Shame.

Sure is. I'm feeling pretty low at the mo'.



You might as well check it out; cheers me up. Okay, here's a song, as I still don't have anything decent to write about.


Muse's 'Crying Shame'*

I'm on half-term holiday anyway ^_^

This is the B-Side to...Supermassive Black Hole. Yeah. Great song.

*It's said this song wasn't put on Black Holes and Revelations due to The Rolling Stones having a song titled this on their album; oh well.

Dead Star; still ill. -_-.

And I'm feeling good

Sorry guys; still can't think of 'out. Anyhow, I thought I'd put another video on here; what a suprise!

Rose petals and megaphones, it could only be Muse.

By the way, ignore the scary people in the audience...Ahehh.




It's Muse's cover of Feeling Good. Originally made by two rather unknown composers; the song was made into a chart topper by singer Nina Simone. And then Muse altered it a little. Enjoy!

-Dead Star; can't play this song.

Futurism...W00t!

I'm afraid I couldn't think of anything over those two blank days; ramble block. Which is pretty hard to believe for me.

So, let your inhibitions go* and listen to this.

It'll have been nothing you've ever heard before; unless you've heard it before...Which I doubt you have.

Ehehehk.

-Dead Star; listening to B-Sides.


*Muse - Easily.

Starlight, I will be chasing a starlight...

...We had the B-Side, and now it's the single. This isn't the full song; but I feel the video's better than the one that is now associated with the song. And watch out for the flare gun ^^ So; here be

Starlight (Director's Cut)



-Dead Star; sticking with her instincts.
