My first BF5 experience: I was listening to the radio late at night, and
I heard it. At the time I thought it was OK, but it really grew on me.
Then my friend bought the CD and highly recommended that I buy it. Then
(this part is wierd) I was babysitting this 11 year old kid. He
absolutely loves BF5! (he also likes the Doors) Needless to say I was
impressed, and so each time I babysitted for him, I listened to the
album. The more I heard it the more I like it.(esp Philosophy, BIOM,
Underground, and Video) Finally I bought it and joined the Armchair. End
of story.

Hey Armchairers,
I was watching TV today, and low and behold I come across an advertisement
for WEAEA. It was Tower Records oriented, but it was the video for "Brick" as
the background video, and slow-motion clips of the three guys. It says "Been a
while... (clip of Ben, then Robert)...since you've had a crush...(clip of
Darren)...on an album? (regular video of "Brick). I just thought you'd like to
know that I came across it. Kinda interesting how much attention our boys are
getting.

Hey,
Exeter rules. (apart from Bf5 never playing here... but we won't go into
that.) Not ONLY did i hear 'Where's Summer B' in the shopping centre, but,
guess what I saw today?
Someone 'handing out the Bhagavad Gita'!!!!
no, really!! This bloke came up to me and offered me a book on Yoga (which
i politely declined) and then i saw on top of his stack of books a book
containing 'Bhagavad Gita' in the title!!
Oh well. Maybe he was Kate.

:::: I'm not fooling you... I don't know what to do ::::
PS> ok, so they played Uncle Walter at Manchester!! My source was incorrect.

So I'm finished with fianls. Woohoo! I can listen to BFF again! i
decided to take Elisabeth's advice and not listen to them for a few days
so I could appreciate it more. Though I did watch a bit of "Sessions"
before my last final this moning. So i had Underground stuck in my head
while I was writing about Planck's Constant(your guess is as good as
mine on that one).
Oh and can I just tell you all that my dad is the bomb! He works at a
radio station at home and on tuesday I mentioned to him that I really
wanted a copy of Naked Baby Photos. SO I talk to him today and he says
that he got it! So I'm all happy but then he starts describing it and
says that it's purple and says Whatever and Ever...on it. Oops.
Apparently he told the guy who calls record companies that he wanted
their "latest," which is WAEA. So I told him, no, it's on Caroline and
called NBP. So he said he'd do what he can.
Five minutes later I get a call from him and that guy called Caroline,
but whoever he talked to was kind of rude and said that it wouldn't be
available until january. but apparently he pleaded my case (she's a big
fan, her birthday's on friday, yadda yadda yadda) and then he caved and
said to expcet it on monday or tuesday! Yay!
So mad props out to my dad! and to the people at Caroline who's wills
are easily broken;)
