Tuesday Music



One of the many things I hate about summer is how difficult I find it to sleep. I'm tired and kinda bored myself stupid reading about nihilism and the work of the Marquis de Sade. Oh and GG Allin. Probably not the greatest combination of morning reading. Methinks it be time for some videogames.
But, before I abscond. Let's have a sleep deprivation special edition of Tuesday Music! Yes that's right. My three favourite songs about not sleeping. Ready? :)

You'll have to excuse the advert which may or may not appear at the start of this one but I had to embed from Daily Motion as Sony have torn every copy of this video from Youtube, uploaded their own and then disabled embedding. The corporate bastards! Not impressed. Spinefarm leave their embeds on!
Anyways, I love this song. Insomnia by Faithless.

Faithless - Insomnia
Uploaded by djoik. - Music videos, artist interviews, concerts and more.

Well, can Youtube come up trumps for my second choice? It seems so! This track is by the Faders (who kinda faded into obscurity without even making a full album). One of them is the daughter of Midge Ure! Dunno which one though. Still. This is probably my favourite of the three songs I own by them.
No Sleep Tonight by The Faders

Ok, I admit it. The cute redhead Molly is the daughter of Midge Ure. :P

But of course I'm a metalhead at heart. And I must say, thank you Universal Music Group for leaving your videos with an embed code! Certainly making Sony look like miserable bastards today aren't we? :)
Enjoy the classic, Enter Sandman by Metallica.


Mmmm, metally.
See you tomorrow. ;)

    Awesome choice of music! I soo love Faithless Insomnia. I happened to listen to this track at full volume so often when it was fresh. Killer track (works especially well in the Clubs :D)

    The other two are fine pieces of music also :)
    Being no metalhead i still prefer Enter the Sandman by Metallica . Excellent stuff. Nuff said.

    The thing I like about the Insomnia song is how the music totally mirrors the feeling. That opening soft bit makes me feel like I'm lying in bed awake, just staring at the wall. And when the beat kicks in is when the crazy thoughts start. It also has that feeling like a clock ticking away in the background.
    Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock. ^^
