Ny vice: Melted time


2./JaboG 33 - German Made by Hyperfinch

So a vice, by definition, is something widely regarded by society as a bad thing... that you do. It's hard to think of most things I practice to be bad... besides maybe being late... to a lot of things...



Yeah, that'll probably be it. I'm not a punctual person. It gets in the way. I could say I picked it up from my mother, but It's my life.



This is something I really want to stray away from. Being known as the undependable, late, person is just sad and I'd hate for someone to disclude me because of a reputation of being unprompt.



I'm taking the initiative to change each time I get prepared to go somewhere. I realize other people's time is more important than my desire to take things slow for no reason.



It's definitely a vice and it has a strong grip on me but I intend to bust it this time.

Three overplayed songs I love anyway

These are the songs that you'll hear me sing in the shower.

Another one bites the dust by Queen

It's the rhythm of this amazing piece of pop mastery that gets me every time. It's just so simple and fluid, definitely one of the funnest song to try and sing or play. Every time I hear it on the radio I refuse to let up, I love to sing it.

Rock the Casbah by The Clash

It's absolutely timeless and ahead of its time. Hearing it on the radio just brings a smile to my face. The chorus is just... every lame "party dude"s anthem and it's awesome.



It's just a really great song to shout out and really get into, every time.

Cars by Gary Numan

I love cars. Simple as that. This song is the commuter's anthem of joy. I first got into it while playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice city. The game was set in the '80s so it required Gary Numan's auto classic on the soundtrack.



Every time it came on that virtual radio I could care less where I was going, as long as I could roam around enough to take it all in.

My road-trip mix tape

So this sort of road trip is the one where you have these sudden perfect, proper, moments of silence after you've talked with your travelees. You take the time to simply look away at the world outside and realize how simply amazing life really is...

Road Trippin' by Red Hot Chili Peppers

It's a bit of an obvious choice of song, but I really think it's a deep scope into the feelings you have when going somewhere far-off with good friends, save the lyrics.

In my life by The Beatles

A retrospective into life and an excellent source of food for thought for those long moments of quiet you can have on trips, to think for yourself.

Friends by Led Zeppelin

It's an absolutely epic song in sound. The sweeping backing keyboard effect is just amazing. It's a good song for first leaving your hometown .
