[brooner]

Front page of this month's Q:

I'd be a cool pope

man of the year indeed.

<start music rant>

guess what?
coldplay X & Y
get tae [nope]

the only saving grace is that "i'm wide awake its morning" by bright eyes slips in ahead of james clunt which is the 6th best album of the year. ha ha ha.

tonight i see mogwai, there's nae need for this drivel.
<end music rant>

*i only "read" it as it arrives on my doorstep to annoy me monthly courtesy of a subscription i got as a present.

[eddie]

[brooner]

i am liking the advert i saw last night though.


Housework Songs (2 CDs)



good stuff.

(i did also note that there was no men doing the housework in the advert)
i'm not saying anything. just making an observation.

Tis alright mister...that wonderful Mr Braithwaite will be nursing your musical bruises as of this evening!

Soooo excited. Let's just hope the curse of Becky gig going doesn't strike again.

i'm more of a dominic fan but anyway, nursing? i'm not sure there is any form of nursing that involves making your ears bleed. the question is however, are earplugs necessary tonight??? if they're on sale i'll maybe need to get them.... unearplugged pleasure at a mogwai concert versus the early onset of deafness? hmmm

Thanks for kicking off a music rant there Brooner.
I was thinking of starting one myself to save myself from death by a thousnad repetitions ( Trail-O in Focus !!).

Mine was going to be -

How can I stop the continuous loop of Melua's latest song running in my head - I think I'd actually prefer it if the owners of the said machines from the Chinese capital rode every one of the damn things over my head.

I mean she is clearly very talented and all that, but why are her tunes so insidiously pernicious ?
So annoyingly innocuous ? So infuriatingly fatuous ?

arrghhh !

someone else who got just as pissed off with that song: http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1581445,00.html

according to mr singh,

We are 12 billion light-years from
the edge,
That's a guess,
No one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be
with you.

should be:

We are 13.7 billion light-years from
the edge of the observable universe,
That's a good estimate with
well-defined error bars,
Scientists say it's true, but
acknowledge that it may be refined,
And with the available information, I predict that I will always be
with you

(saw that on "have i got news for you ages ago, jus thought id share it with you all)

simon singh, good guy.

tonight i am going to see ian brown. i hope the monkey resembling mancunian tosspot actually

(a) shows up

(b) sings in tune (thats wishful thinking).

however i am actually looking forward to the gig.

[bendover]

update - avoid ian brown concerts.

he was about two tones out the whole way through. a waste of money.

[brooner]

he was about two tones out the whole way through. a waste of money.

surely you should have known this was going to be the case prior to attendance?

Of course it doesn't help that the man can't emit any semblance of a tune, not one that varies from flat, anyway.

much roses stuff played though?

simon singh, good guy.

came to my school! Showed us his enigma machine
