Welcome to 28 with the rest of us…it’s cold and scary out here…
There sure are a lot of private equity takeovers at the moment, aren’t there?
Also, Panorama in 'not understanding the inverse square law' shock! Perhaps longer posts soon. Heh. Promise.Please!
(although it's Human Nature next week, thank goodness!) (The Polyphonic Spree - were we all drinking the Kool-Aid?)Awkward moment of the night: walking in to the (rather fabulous) Bush Hall, standing next to a girl looking at the stage, and realising that it’s Lolly.
I contained myself. Just about. A great night - review to come soon on Static; but for now, sweet, blessed sleep.Jeremy Paxman on The Daily Show: just plain wrong.
Tomorrow: Lucky Soul and Johnny Boy. And I will make it past Oxford this time… Also! Americans: prepare to go to prison for googling "Hilary duff mp3"!It's trueIt was right there, in the middle of Robot Song, that I fell completely for Kenickie. It was somewhere on the way to Herefordshire, forcing my family to listen over and over to the tape of At The Club that I had just bought that I heard it for the first time, the mixture of Rimmel lipstick, high heels, and Catholic guilt all exploding somewhere inside my head.

The second album, seeing them at The Hop & Grape, the jaunt around children's shows, the interview with Chris Moyles that probably forms the root of my hatred of him (as well as all he stands for, obviously), the break-up, the splinter groups, and the 'where are they now?' finale. Oh, and the greatest Number 38 of all time, obviously: But for now, we'll leave them back in 1997, dressing cheap and tacky, dancing for thrills, before their night gets nasty…
You keep me cold
And rest your head in my blue bones
And as I spit my dying wish
You're listening to something else
I have accounts on Flickr, MySpace, Facebook, last.fm, but, I hear you cry - where is my Twitter presence? Where can you get fabulous updates in blocks of 140 characters?
Right here! Amazing, isn't it? Anyway, off to London tomorrow, for Saturday Looks Good To Me, Lucky Soul, and hopefully, friends! And no being sick. That's a rule.Stealing from Simon again, I’m afraid, but in case you didn’t see it, Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie have a feature called ‘Pick ‘n’ Mix’ where viewers get to choose a record that will be played everyday the week after. One of this week’s choices is You Are The Generation That Bought More Shoes And You Get What You Deserve. Go. Vote. Harness the power of the Reverse Midas Touch!
