Burnt Holidays!!!

Hmm.

Well, I've done a complete overhaul of 'Burnt Holidays' and I'm managed to smoothen out the volume of all the different songs and also modified the channel mixing for 'Joanne' and even wide panning for 'Introduction' and 'Searchaway, Spring In Christchurch'. I have to say that I was so dissatisfied with the guitar and vocal track for 'I'm Gonna Find My Own Way', I've re-done them both and now they're in the waitlist for Alvin's things-yet-to-be-done.

Anyway, I was just reminiscing on my wishlist for my birthday, and while it's still very early (my birthday is in November, btw), I just can't stop thinking of all the things I might want for my birthday:

1. J. R.R. Tolkien's 'The Silmarillion' which I briefly owned before misplacing it in school and now it's disappeared. Duh. Considered a literary classic, and only slightly more chim than LOTR the book. Did I mention I read it like five times before I lost it?

Price: Approx. $15-$20

2. AC/DC's 'Highway To Hell' album... a classic hard rock album filled to the brim with rock anthems, Malcolm Young and Cliff William's biting rhythm, Phil Rudd's thumping drums, Angus Young's slicing leads and Bon Scott's trademark sandpaper bark. Availible in remastered, paper-clad edition.

Price: Approx. $17-$22

3. Harmonicas in the Key of D & B. I've got harmonicas in the keys of G, A, E and C, but what's music without the full spectrum of instrumentation? Answer: more instruments to desire for.

Price: Approx. $5-$12 (each)

4. Led Zeppelin 'The Song Remains The Same' DVD. Classic footage from the film and of Led Zeppelin in concert from their 1973 US tour which features classic songs such as 'Dazed and Confused', 'Stairway To Heaven' and 'Whole Lotta Love'. I'd love to have that DVD to add to my bursting Led Zeppelin audio and video collection. Try and get the album CODA as well... I dunno where I misplaced the CD.

Price: Approx. $20-$30

5. A Thin Lizzy t-shirt. I dunno, I've looked in all the shops possible, but I can't find a shop which sells t-shirt with the Thin Lizzy logo on it... can't blame them.. who listens to 70's classic rock nowadays, especially since the band was Irish, dissolved in 1986 and the lead singer is a black, afro-ed bassist who died from drug abuse? Yet again, their songs aren't too bad... sort of like a classic rock version of Judas Priest (who are like heavy metal, btw). I'm guessing you guys have no idea what I'm talking about right?

Price: Approx. $12-$14

So there you have it in a nutshell, some things which I would dearly love to have... I've given you guys ample time to get it for me (pls inform me if you do intend to get me anything on that list, it may spoil the surprise, but I'll let you keep the individual item secret) :p Alvin owes me some stuff: quid pro quo, mate.


Cheers,
