The Brits. that much lauded, much laughed at awards ceremony celebrating what’s best in British music. But has it really ever done that?

Another day another self obsessed ‘role model’ taken to the cleaners by the media. This time our very own England soccer team captain, John Terry. Great preparation for the World Cup Tel, no sooner than he was voted dad of the year he’s off trying to prove it. More like dog of the year. You’ve [...]

Good job Rhianna spat out that plonker from under her Um ber rella. All week ABC TV had been trailing her appearance on last night’s 20/20 program.

The weekend came upon us for the Bickershaw Pop Festival, the glorious British month of May. If there was ever a worse weekend for weather you’ll have to remind me, I think it rained from the moment we left home until our last gasp return. It was the pits (SHITE!) It happened early on in [...]

2009 marks the 50th celebration of Island Records and while that in itself is worth celebrating it makes me wonder what exactly is being celebrated. It also triggers off very found memories of Island 25 and the time when Island really was Island and it’s founder Chris Blackwell stood proudly at the helm. That was [...]
