Random ramblings cuz I have nothing better to do... or something... :)This is the site formerly known as Anneke's Haven. Within, you will find information about my previous White Wolf chronicles, and other random gaming related stuff. I also have a blog here, where I talk about pretty much everything and anything, though it's primarily about my exciting life... the definition of exciting definitely being up for debate.
Enjoy your visit, and come back soon!

Musical Travesties Revisted:: Thursday, August 12, 2004 ::
Yes, that's right, it's time for another ScaryWhiteGirl rant on covers... :)
I like Duran Duran. No, take that back, I LOVE Duran Duran. I've been a Duran Duran fan since I was a kid. I remember lying in bed one night, while my parents were watching the news in the living room, hearing that Simon LeBon had been in a boating accident, and rushing to the living room, despite the fact that I knew better than to get out of bed, because I HAD to know what had happened. (Yeah, that was a long time ago.)
But you know, I think Duran Duran has done a few too many covers that maybe they shouldn't have. Case in point:
"911 is a Joke."
Now I'm not a big rap fan, honestly. But "911 is a Joke" is at least a song that I remember hearing, I remember being amused by, and somewhat liked. But Duran Duran should NOT have covered this song. Bad idea.
So yeah, it breaks the usual mold... usually, if I like the band performing the cover, I will like the cover. But no... Duran Duran should be stopped, in this case.
Not to say all their covers are bad. They do one of the better covers of "Thank You" (Led Zeppelin) that I've heard.
Yahoo / Launch Radio has a station that's all 80s covers. If it weren't for the fact that my computer does NOT want to install Flash 7, well, you can guess what I'd be listening to all day... :)
Heh... how appropriate... Arcadia is on radioio80s now... :)
(PSA: Arcadia is most of, if not all of, the guys from Duran Duran...) :)

Added a new page, to which there is a permanent link on the left... crafts... no pictures yet, but just some stuff about what I do and such... :)
Nothing else going on lately. Haven't had to go to jury duty yet, which is somewhat annoying and somewhat nice. Annoying because I wouldn't mind the extra cash, nice because of the drive and the heat and such...
Speaking of the heat, it's more like the lack thereof... I don't think it's broken 80 for the past few days, nor is it expected to. This is August in southern Illinois? I think not! Still, I'm not complaining, just commenting. It was kinda oddly nice to walk out of the house this morning in a long sleeved black T-shirt, and not be roasting... and I doubt it will be too bad for the walk home this afternoon either!
