It's all about the vowels.

Today was pretty much uneventful, with work going without any real excitement. I still left content that it is much better than the superstore though, because it was really cool to walk out of work straight onto the busy high street rather than cautiously ambling past Dalneigh and other dark patches of Inverness, wondering if the next passer-by is going to stab you. I went to HMV in search of bearing witness to Beats by Dr Dre headphones in the flesh but all I found was display boxes, with no demo models. The assistant I spoke to just so happened to be a DJ who is currently saving for the very things, stating them as "the ones to have". He explained what makes them so special; the speakers in them are essentially tiny studio monitors meaning you can hear every little sound in your music, including many that you have never heard before. This made me even more desperate to sample their quality but am still unwilling to pay £250 for them (thats WITH my discount at currys too). I fear that once I be e achieved my goal of passing my driving test and owning a car I will be tempted beyond resistance by them. The bus home was accompanied by Aiden and Calum macleod. It was an extremely decent journey as we spoke a lot of films. This evening went without consequence with the only really notable thing being listening to some Japanese music with my aunt who speaks very good Japanese, getting her to roughly translate the point of the songs. So a relevant song of the day is Inochi no Namae, written by Joe Hisaishi. According to my aunt, it is generally about nostalgia and deep emotional feelings. This makes sense as it is a main theme of Spirited Away, or Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi to be an arrogant arse. Beautiful song, I will hear nothing against it. One thing I love about Japanese music is that the language is so suited to singing, with the very strong, pronounced vowel sounds. Because vocals in music are all about the vowels. It sounds silly but listen and it will make sense.
