Random music facts and winter sports

For no particular reason, some music facts that came into my head today whilst listening to music on my computer:

1. 'Little by Little' by Oasis is the only Oasis song I have ever liked out of all the stuff they've done.
2. I love Ryan Adams - 'Come Pick Me Up', partly because it is the only song I know that can use the word 'fuck' in the lyrics without making it sound in the least offensive.
3. I have far too many Goo Goo Dolls songs on my computer.
4. My collection of songs about 'Jenny' now includes one by the Killers, one by Cross Canadian Ragweed, and one by Cowboy Mouth. I have nothing better to do, you understand.
5. I used to own a Michael Bolton CD (a long time ago).
6. The makeup of most of my mp3 collection is down to the influence of three people over the years, all male.
7. I grew up surrounded by my father's records - Foreigner, ELO, the Beatles, the Stones, and America. All of whom I still love.
8. My crowning glory in first year University was that I knew all the words to Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince - 'Boom Shake the Room' and the Bloodhound Gang - 'Bad Touch'. And still do, sadly.
9. 'Sweet Home Alabama' is a song that I never remember to proactively play, but whenever it comes up on my computer I remember how good it is. Ditto for 'Crazy Nights' by Kiss.
10. My favourite song ever is 'There She Goes' by The La's.

Today Denise and I continued the winter sports theme and went ice skating. I haven't been for a large number of years, probably more than I care to remember, and I did wobble when I first got out onto the ice. You forget just how hard and unforgiving the surface is. But soon I was whizzing round the rink (speed was never my problem, it is stopping that I am rather bad at). I need to get some skates, or some more rollerblades, as my mother threw the last pair out in a fit of spring cleaning. Stopping is easier with rollerblades because you can drag one blade without turning, whereas on skates you tend to turn if you lean on the edge too much. I guess I need to get more practice in. Much like skiing. Perhaps if I fail to run the marathon I could roller blade it - I wonder if they'd let me? That would be wicked!!
