THE WRIGHT STUFF
Well, it's a fair old time since I got a guest writer to do a post. This one is a bit unusual, in that it's actually a television programme in the form of a blog post. It's TOTP2, presented by guest writer and DJ Steve Wright. The good thing is - if you're not a music fan, but love Steve's zany voiceovers at the beginning of each song, there's not actually any music, but there are Steve's sidesplitting little descriptions of each well loved music act! Without further ado ...
"Hi! I'm Steve Wright, welcome to TOTP2, your weekly shot of new and old music from the TOTP archive! To kick off we've got New Order with Blue Monday. Incidentally, watch out for the guy on bass ... IT'S IAN BOTHAM!!!!!!!!"
"Right, on now to a firm favourite of me and and all of the smug ageing Radio 2 listeners, it's a song Amy Winehouse recently recorded in the TOTP studio for us. Love the song Amy, but what's with all the tattoos!!!!!!! And look at all that hair - she looks like she's been in a mistral!!!!!"
"Great track from Amy, let's move on now to Iran from A Flock Of Seagulls. The guy who's singing looks as if he's been in a mistral!!!!!! And what about the guy in glasses - IT'S TIMMY MALLET, ISN'T IT?????"
"If you thought that was weird, what about this - WEIRD AL YANKOVIC with Beat It? Incidentally, is he ME in a WIG??????? "
"Right, thanks for watching, that's it for this week folks, but before we go here's a song that'll make you sit back and laugh at all the stupidly dressed so called "talented" bands you used to love when you were young. Face it, it was all a load of shouting, it was too loud, you couldn't tell what they were singing and they looked like a load of bloody girls, didn't they? Instead, here's some PROPER music where you can hear the words and they play their instruments properly and it's not too loud.
Ladies and gentleman, I give you COUNTING CROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

A THING ON A BLUE BACKGROUND
Just thought I would annoy you all with another post that pays homage to Richard And Judy.
Listen, Richard and Judy are very "up" on what happens on the "world wide" internet. In the past they've done features on all the exciting new crazes such as "My Space" and "Second Life". They've interviewed Petite Anglaise who is at the vanguard of the new "Weblog" trend!
This week they've discovered - YOU TUBE!!!!
They featured some clips from this amazing new website, including that horrible one of the babies who are all crying at once which has been doing the rounds for ages, the sneezing panda, a breakdancing baby, and one which featured Adam Buxton doing a voiceover of someone taking part in - HEY! - Richard And Judy's competition, You Say We Pay.
Mind you, I thought it was pretty amusing, so I've linked to it here.
At least they had the good grace not to show that awful bloke giving away free hugs. Now, he really should be shot.
