There’s nothing fuelled by speculation anymore in the Tiger Woods saga after the latest reports of an unconfirmed blonde (female of course) been taken to the hospital at 2-30am the other night. Be warned, it’s not a recommended time to be wandering around the Isleworth area anymore.
Tiger, tiger , burning bright,
In the forest of the [...]

The glorious days of radio and the pirates seem to come and go all too quickly, but what a memorable time it was for all of us that had the opportunity to experience those rebels at sea doing what they passionately believed in, giving us the chance to hear great music. All day every day.

‘Tony, I need you to get them on the radio,’ Simon said. ‘I need to get who on the radio?’ I politely inquired. ‘Westlife, Westlife my new boy band. I couldn’t pretend to be excited, I’d heard he’d signed a band but another boy band? I needed to be convinced they had what it took [...]

And so to the NME article. And let’s be totally honest here, written to get people to buy a paper they no longer care about. Because the nemesis is on the cover. Whatever you think of Simon… he is bigger than Swine Flu and far more contagious. He changed the way we watched television (we being a generalization) and he changed the way people bought records. He got them to watch his programs and to buy his records, whereas most recently they bought very few records and didn’t give a fuck about music on television. Arise M(MUSIC????) Televison??

I was just catching up on a few of the reviews and comments from the audience regarding last night’s U2 ‘360 Degree’ show. (Very close to the temperature, too!)Pretty mixed really, and an amazing amount of people who were seeing them for the first time. For them it was quite an experience and for one [...]

I can’t believe we’re half way through September! And before I know it I’ll be coming up with another dumb ass comment ‘What happened to 2009?’ I shouldn’t complain though, at least I’ve got things to do and probably enough things to do that’ll pre empt the ‘what happened to 2010 extra dumb ass comment.
