The sister-in-law's waters have just broken

This is a medical term that is related in some way to having a baby apparently. This means we're likely to have a new niece this afternoon, we'll call in to see her on our way to Canterbury for lunch tomorrow, I think she's in Ashford. This new niece...

Blackpool (being the third part of my two week holiday write up)

Have you been to Blackpool? DON'T EVER EVER GO THERE, man alive, it was the worst place I've ever been to. A few people gave me odd looks when I said I was going to Blackpool for a couple of days as part of our grand tour, but only one person got clo...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Interesting pop chart changes afoot, now downloads are eligible for the chart even if there is no corresponding CD single available. As this is a relatively new technology, changes are happening all the time I'm sure, but this is quite a meaty one. W...

Number one result for "Habitat Radius"

Was just trying to find the furniture we bought at the weekend, and all the top results are me, how strange. It's down to Habitat's website being quite bad, the whole flash interface makes it hard to index, so my pages are coming up top. ANYWAY, here...

Sugarmilk

I saw Sugarmilk on Saturday night at The Happy Frenchman, and wasn't really impressed. The singer's got quite a strong voice in the karaoke fake emotional style, and the band can play OK, but there was something annoying about them. The soundcheck go...

DJ BC presents The Beastles

dj BC presents The Beastles, more mashups... I'm guessing these won't stay up long, I heard the A Night At The Hip-Hopera is gone already, though there seems to be a bit more rebellion regarding hosting copyrighted material... DJ BC says "These mash-...

Free Dancing Tha Neet!

After all the gripes about popEx's "new" commercial direction, some people seem to be under the impression that it's possible to "buy" front page news with big bribes. I'd like to take this opportunity to STAMP THESE SCURRILOUS LIES OUT.Tomorrow nigh...

Some REVIEWS

South - Paint The Silence (single)Starting off a bit like Doves, yeah yeah, then a bit of Beta Band creeps in, then before you realise it, we have the Stone Roses! They're not copyists or anything, but this title track has a massive loopy, dopey, dru...

Shot through the chart

So, this week Westlife outsold the Spice Girls by FOUR TO ONE in the album charts to grab a hold of that number one slot... Next weekend The Beatles "One" album (a seventy eight minute version of Metallica's magnum opus, apparently) will dominate the...

The Beatles are RUBBISH

It's official, the Beatles / SFA collaboration should have been drowned in a bucket, rather than released to shops... after last week's news story LOADS of you checked the album out on Amazon, but NOT ONE PERSON went on to buy it.It's no wonder boo.c...

Super Furry Beatles
