    2. All day and all of the night - The Kinks
    3. Jumpin’ Jack Flash - The Rolling Stones

    5. That’ll be the day - Buddy Holly
    6. Bridge over troubled water - Simon & Garfunkel
    7. Evil woman - Electric Light Orchestra
    8. Killer Queen - Queen
    9. My generation - The Who
    10. Immigrant song - Jimmy Page
    11. Inbetween days - The Cure
    12. Fast car - Studio Allstars (I had to pick this as Tracy Chapmans early stuff is not on Spotify)
    13. Pinball wizard - The Who
    14. Under the broadwalk - The Drifters
    15. [Sittin’ on] The dock of the bay - Otis Redding
    16. Respect - Aretha Franklin
    17. I heard it through the grapevine - Marvin Gaye
    18. Fight for your right - Beastie Boys (This was mainly from radio and TV, can’t say it was my parents sort of thing)
    19. Close to me - The Cure
    20. Everybody whats to rule the world - Tears For Fears
    21. Footloose - Kenny Loggins
    22. Take on me - A-ha
    23. 99 Red balloons - Nena (The English language version of this was made specially for the UK market, other english markets got the German version)

    pelicansss:

    Lynyrd Skynyrd- Free Bird

    “I’m as free as a bird now,

    and this bird you cannot change”

    Adding this to my permanent soundtrack for life. 

    Absolutely love this song. Best LS song by far.

  4. It’s hard to believe my little monster used to be this cute little baby. And this was from 11 months  ago. Now he spends his days hitting me in the face and laughing at me.

    Does anyone have any experiance of making these and care to offer some pointers? I’m looking to make one using either 35mm or 120 film (4x5 photo paper is way too expensive).

  10. BBC News - BT and TalkTalk challenge Digital Economy Act
    BT and TalkTalk are seeking a judicial review of the controversial Digital Economy Act, BBC News has learned.
    The two internet service providers want the High Court to clarify the legality of the act before it is implemented.
    The act was “rushed through” parliament before the general election, they say.

    As much as I hate both these fuckers they do have a point.
