You know what I mean.
Songs that the word 'inflict' was ceated for!
You hear it once and you spend most of your time trying to avoid.
A lot pop songs work like that excpet they try to decieve you by pretending they're catchy (ooo-OOO who's feeling cynical tonight!).
Being OmniAural as I am I like to think I can listen to anything and sometimes once is all I'll give it.
Then again there are some songs you know that you SHOULD like and hate to admit that you don't.

One of my favorite Orbital Videos. :) The following was taken from Wikipedia."The Box" is a single by the British electronica duo Orbital. They released it in 1996 and the single reached number 11 on the UK chart. Orbital claimed in a 2002 sleeve note that the single's video, which starred the English actress Tilda Swinton was "by common consent, the best video we've ever done". The promotional video won a silver sphere for the best short film at the San Francisco film fes... MORE
Disney's Black Hole
And Orbital's Halcyon
I used to have nightmares about Black Hole. That last scene killed. But ponder the child who saw Black Hole and later loved Orbital.....

A treat for those who celebrate Boxing Day, as opposed to us Americans who celebrate "Ugh, I can't believe I ate/drank/indulged that much yesterday" Day. I love the synthesized harpsichord sound on this track.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't sleep, so I spend a lot of time listening to music. Years ago my friend Max who mostly loves the 80's sound and Prodigy (he loved the hair, Flock of Seagulls for the same reason) got me into another one of his ultimate favorites, Orbital. His theory is that all electronica/trance/dance music is based off of Orbital and I can dig that theory. I'm posting a really bad quality of one of my favorite songs "Halcyon + On + On" off th...
