Needed a globally accessible place to jot down notes about books, films, music and the such.

Assuming this was the one which was "a bit out". Good enough, but the actual interesting points were right at the very very end of the story and could've been snugged in in another book.
The whole story of the prophecy seems a bit contrived. First book which made me laugh out loud a couple of times though. The writing is still very good.
The "6 minutes soundtrack" at the very end of "Six Feet Down". Particularly like it because it fitted that wonderful endsequence so well. Listening to other stuff by Sia, and it's not bad.
update
Songs are different enough, trip-hoppy beats, slow/fast, almost close-harmony singing.
update 2
compare from "Healing is difficult" the songs George Michael-ih "Blow it all away" and the dance-track "Untitled": "I drink booze to open up my mind"
Heard at "De Dokter" (smart move, this namechange, since he keeps changing his nom de plût as his mood suits him), a wonderful version which seems to be recorded live in 1983.
Costello definitely puts his mark upon the song, drawing out the words.
Bit surprised, didn't realise this one was done by James Cameron. Ridley Scott is nowhere to be seen (from a very quick look into IMDB) but he obviously studied "Alien" thoroughly.
Again, long slow interior shots. Loved them. Again, hardly any music, which I don't think was that common then. The blueish glow that illuminates everything, a good follow-up.
Continuation of the story made sense, watched the director's cut again, impressive with a length of 2h30, but it's absolutely not too long.
This is the "famous one" for me. All that I remember is the shot of Ripley throwing herself in an inferno as if she's diving. Dunno if that's #3 or #4. Will find out soon.
Director's cut (Ridley Scott), wonderful to see. Slow, far from boring.
Love the really slow panning shots of the interiors. And the 70's computer stuff
Searched for online stream playlists with "Spy-Fi" in them. Didn't see soma.fm but came across wfmu.org
Pretty crazy so far, Dr Demento-ish. "Serenade out of tune", "Ship of Fools", strange cliq-n-blip snippets...
Saw, on last.fm I think, a reference to Spy-fi that mentioned there were -two- bands with this name: a Dutch one, who collaborated with "Phantom Frank", and an American one. Must still find out to which of those two the "The Shadow Knows" album belongs.
