Chris Cornell unplugged

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

The first time I heard David Cook (American Idols) sing Billy Jean I thought he was brilliant. The musical arrangement was simply beautiful. Little did I know that the genius who had come up with that arrangement was Chris Cornell. Anyway, when I heard that the original Michael Jackson song was covered by Chris Cornell I just had to have the song. Turns out that it was an acoustic version from his album “Unplugged in Sweden”.

I’ve been a fan of Chris Cornell since his Soundgarden days, so naturally I wanted to have the whole album. It is beautiful. I can’t really say which song is my favorite, because they’re all so good. I absolutely love the covers that are on the album like Redemption song and Thank you. It was hard to pick an unplugged song to post on my blog, but I decided on the acoustic version of ‘Black Hole Sun’. It is one of my favorite songs of the ’90s. Hope you like it as much as I do.

How Aussie are you?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Today I came across one of those weird, meaningless quizzes. Usually I don’t do them, because they are so NOT accurate. But… I just had to do this one; How Aussie are you? I am married to an Aussie and I’ve lived in Australia for three years now. Not to forget the fact that soon I’ll be applying for Australian passport. So how Aussie am I after three years living in the land of Oz?

You are 83% Aussie!

She’ll be apples in the morning with a bit of practice. Break out the barbie and invite some mates over. Chuck some vic bitter in the esky and have a bonzer time!
