OK.....



Let's try this new meme thingy out. 8 random facts about moi!



Fact 1

I have short legs and tiny feet.

Fact 2

Fact 3

I am a lefty. Hence, people often say I can't do things right! Very true in a way...haha!

Fact 6

Fact 8

I have recently realised that I am allergic to silver earrings. Damn....there goes my choices.



So voila! That's my meme done!

A wee bit of Scottishness....

Nothing beats stumbling upon songs, amidst the mishmash of mumbo-jumbo tunes that's out there thrashing the music scene, that strike just the perfect chord for you.

A friend recently burnt me a compilation of music albums from various artistes- some being local Scottish singers/bands. One of them held me captivated for a good hour of music listening, which I strongly believe deserves recognition across the continents. Hence, I'm humbly dedicating this tiny blog entry of mine to his songs, hoping that people from back home can enjoy them just as much as I.

Roddy Woomble is his name. Being the lead singer of a Scottish Rock/Pop band, Idlewild, you would be as surprised as I as to the diversity of this side project of his compared to that of Idlewild's.

The debut album is My Secret Is My Silence. Youtube.com doesn't store many of the songs in this album (which is a good thing 'cause people should go straight to buying the original CD!) but here is one of them:-
