Because It's Never Just About the Music

Work, Lovelife, Miscellaneous 

We're away this weekend, which means there'll be no What We Learnt From TotP this week. Please, try and contain your disappointment... you know, you're really good at that, to the casual observer it would appear that you didn't even have any disapointment to contain in the first place. Anyway, here's a few bits and bobs that have occured to us over the last few days.

First up, Michael Jackson, not going to say much about this as we don't want to be on the wrong end of a lawsuit, but we can only hope his defence involves him claiming that the boy is not his lover; just a boy who thinks that he is the one. Certainly the fact that the kid is not his son will go in his favour.

Secondly, we used to really like Amy Studt, and she was pencilled in for a future appearance in the 117 Acest Things... Ever!, mainly thanks to the way she says "arse" in Misfit. However, while things like that add a lot of weight to the fabness side of her personality, recent events have nailed the rubbish side of her personality to the floor and no amount of enunciation can help lift it up. We are, of course, talking about the news that her new single is going to be a cover of All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow. lets just pause for a moment and let that piece of information sink in... she's covering a Sheryl Crow song. This does not make us happy and it is that bad. The only way this could be a good idea would be if it was recorded using a different beat, bass line, guitar part, melody and lyrics. Oh, and it was called something else as well. Let's face it, even Sheryl Crow hasn't released a Sheryl Crow song as her latest single, that's how rubbish she is.

Oh, and we're beginning to really like the new Will Young single. This makes us feel all wrong inside.
