You know what is annoying? When people ask questions and then answer them themselves.

You know what else is annoying? When you get an hour's extra sleep but then you're woken up by workers outside at the same time you normally get up. Grumble.

Today was the end of the Ramadan. It's an Islamic thing. Where they fast. There's a lot of Islamic people round these parts and they all gathered in the Barn and feasted and feasted. After fasting comes feasting. I love religion. When it gives me an excuse to go to work later than normal. And there wasn't even any cleaning up to do after the feasting. Normally when there's partying going on we have to spend the rest of the day cleaning up the mess. But these people actually cleaned up after themselves. I have newfound respect in humanity. For now.

There were no masses of people. There was nothing to clean up. So instead I spent the day sorting empty bottles. In a way you could say I had my own private feast. With the empty bottles. Very festive. Festivus. Sorry, I was watching the Seinfeld clipshow earlier.

What else is going on in the house that Plume built? Music? Don't get me started on music. It seems the tracklist to Mary Star of the Sea has been leaked. Zwan's debut album baby. I saw it on MTV Europe too. You know Zwan is hitting the bigtime when they're being mentioned on MTV Europe! But more importantly: Avril Lavigne is coming to Denmark! Weet! Now there's a show I've got to see, screw Zwan. Sorry, I forgot you can't see me. I should probably mention that I'm wearing my MR SARCASMO hat. But anyway, let's look at the supposed tracklist for a minute and a half here (because I know you care as much as I do).

01. lyric
02. the world goes 'round
03. baby, let's rock
04. yeah
05. endless summer
06. honestly
07. settle down
08. desire
09. declaration of faith
10. jesus
11. come with me
12. el sol
13. until i died
14. [bonus track (japan only)]

Isn't that something. There's a couple of titles I don't recognise. But apart from that it looks nice and Zwanny. It's just hard. Billy writes so many songs. Even in the short time Zwan has been around he has written a bunch of them. And when you look at a list of 13 songs it's hard to appreciate the titles that made it. It's much easier to see all the great songs you love that didn't make it. Specifically The Djali Zwan songs. Those were the accoustic performances. And those were my favourite songs. And none of them seems to be on the album. That's depressing. I could easily come up with 14 tracks that should have been on there. And then some. Don't get me wrong, I will love the album. I just can't help but wish there were more songs from the two first rounds of concerts. Everybody wanted Glorious and Chrysanthemum. Me too. But Billy knows best I guess. And the tracklist isn't official anyway. Maybe HMV Japan got it wrong. As hard as that is to believe, ne?

There will always be b-sides.

And in other billy corgan related music news it seems it's likely that Mashed Potatoes will be out somehow somewhen. Good stuff. When leet people write on Netphoria that it's not rare anymore then you know. You know it will be here. No longer the holy grail of the pumpkins community. Still, I'd rather have Avalon to be honest. But at least I've heard Where's Vince now. About bloody time. It's just stupid that people are arguing so much about it. I mean I'm listening to Where's Vince now. And it's the worst piece of sh** ever. I'd barely call it a song. And still I've gone for years wondering what it sounds like because I'm not leet enough, I don't have connections or the will to work enough for it. I know it's stupid and naive but I just think everyone should have everything. It's music. Some of it very bad. What's the point in fighting, calling each other liars and hoarders? I don't get it. If I had something super rare I would want to share it, let others hear it. Not keep it locked in a safe and try to make musical profit of it for ever while everyone else is tearing out their hair because they don't have it.

Blablabla. I told you not to get me started on music. I want to hear I Fall dammnit. Even though it will probably suck too.

Let me give the world to you. And the sun, the moon, the stars too.

That's it. I have nothing left. Nitey-nite.
