The Arcade Machine Fire

I went with the Mellow Marsh Man to see Arcade Fire at Brixton Academy last night (it was his birthday don't you know :)  Steve's a good bloke, great conversation and into his music in a big way. On the tube back our discussion turned to blogging and the associated effort it needs if it is to be successful long term as part of an overall marketing strategy/communications platform.

Now, when I explained to Steve the that I personally take a much more light hearted approach to blogging as indicated by the spoof song lyrics in my post he replied "What spoof song lyrics?"  Oh come on!!! I've been trying my best for a long time and quite a few people have picked up on this...  The first one was a dead giveaway, I even told you dear reader who the artist and song was..!

It then started to get a little more interesting with only a few clues here and there...does anyone out there notice these things or should I just give up right now?!?  Well, I've got news for you folks, we can build this dream together, I could write this stuff forever nothings gonna stop me now!  And if this world runs out of bloggers, we'll still have each other, nothings gonna stop us, nothings gonna stop us now...

So, especially for Steve Marsh, here's a recap on the rest of the spoof lyrics so far...more to follow later, that's a promise!!!

• The moment I wake up, before I turn on my laptop, I make a little call or two
• So this is how it feels to leave early, this is how it feels to us all, this is how it feels when your work takes you no time at all
• I can see clearly now the pane has gone, I can see all objects I need today
• We don't need no more frustration, we don't want just to enroll. No obscure courses in the classroom... All in all it's fantastic courseware for all
• So the common fear of licence which exists in every place, it’s common sense we’ll show you how to tell. This ain’t no technological breakdown, oh no, this is the road to sell
• The silicon chip inside her head is switched to overload (but) she don’t like downtime
• When I find myself in times of trouble, Windows Mobile it might be...wiping words remotely, let it be

If I didn't know I was mad I'd be starting to question my own sanity right about now (the funk soul brother :p)

Ciao for now :)
