During the meanwhile

Hey there everyone. I'm posting from the megalab at uni. My first lecture only lasted an hour when it was supposed to go for three and I have some time to kill before I learn about killing French people (Thermidorian reaction this week).

I always feel slightly uncomfortable when I go on lj in such a public place but looking around I can see that at least half of the people here are on myspace so I'm in poor company.

I've been so busy lately with school and the new job, but most of my assignments are out of the way now which is good.

And now for something completely different.

Does anyone have a cover of Cheap Trick's "I want you to want me" that is not by Letters to Cleo, Chris Isaak, Lindsay Lohan or The Pucks? I'm looking for a version with an indie/alternative vibe going on for a fan mix I'm making (Kelly and Ryan from The Office have completely eaten my brain. Love them).

Secondly, can someone direct me to a user friendly mp3 editor? Preferably a free one. I have this live track with a sound check at the beginning that annoys me greatly and I'd like to cut it if possible.

If you're feeling a little down, may I suggest you head over to boysofculttv where there are many delightful picspams of the men from our favourite TV shows leaning against things. Not entirely safe for work as the Jamie-Bamber-in-a-towel-pics are in a couple - not that that is ever a bad thing.

I watched the first episode of the new Robin Hood and was not impressed. It does feature Richard Armitage (Mr Thornton from the recent North and South) but he's actually kind of fugly in this. I'll keep watching for a couple more eps because it is unintentionally funny.

Finally, please oh please universe, let the rumors about John Krasinski and Renee Zellsquintsalot be not true.

It's a live version, but I Want You to Want Me as covered by SR-71.

I use goldwave to trim out boring intro speeches and fatuous fans screaming from live tracks :D

This is a band I used to listen to alot in my old 'fuck the world, I'm an anarchist!!!' days. They are very uber-political, and sound like NOFX, but their cover of I Want You To Want Me is HILARIOUS!

Plus, they add on this whole thing about some chick named Megan not eating bacon at the end that is fairly giggle-worthy too. Hope you like!

Very cool! Thanks so much!
