Drwnt.... t. t. t. t. t. t. t. t. Drwnt
My gift to the world-wide-web: For those of you that were wondering what the tune is in Hollyoaks when Zoe is having fantasies about Mikes Barnes, it's "I Need to Know" by The Hours.
The web owes now me for that nugget of info.

New to the Site: Feeds
I've added a new section to the site (if you are still reading my Blogger blog, my actual site is here). It's called My Feeds and contains a few RSS feeds regarding this site and me. To see what the feeds are (there are a couple unconventional ones there) and to find out just what an RSS feed is, visit the new section here.
Madness Review
Here's a good review of the gig Madness did at the Bridgwater Palace.
For a change the urban blot on the M5 (Bridgwater) hasn't come off to bad, and to think that's in a national paper. I'm sure someone in Taunton will point out that's simply because the reviewer doesn't know the area like the rest of the south west do.

Music
It's been a while since I posted about the music I'm listening to at the moment, or anything else for that matter.
There's been a few posts I've wanted to write over the last month.
Notably:
- My top 5 albums of last year (I still aim to write that one)
- Write about the fact we're now looking for a new house. Obviously a wedding this year simply isn't enough excitement or stress for us.
- Point anyone who actually reads this blog to the best story of the year so far: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7174760.stm
Probably the two best albums I've purchased in the last couple months are Justice's Cross and The Stage Names by Okkervil River.
On first listen the Okkervil River sounded a little to much like the Killers for my liking, but after many listens it's really starting to come into it's own. The song that offended me the most at the beginning was "Unless It's Kicks", due to the fact it sounded like a strange mix of The Killers and Craig McLachlan (Yes, Henry in Neighbours). After some listens though that curious mix has resulted in it being my favourite song on a very good album.
Justice's Cross is first dance album I've bought in a while and is a cracker. Mixing Daft Punk with The Go! Team, it's an addictive listen. The best songs are the ones you should hate the most. A great example of that is "Tthhee Ppaarrttyy". The only song I can relate it to is Morgan's Miss Parker, filled with annoyances that when combined turn into something very good indeed. Other great songs on the album include the Go! Team like D.A.N.C.E with its shouting kids (quite possibly the best dance song I've heard since Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger") and early Daft Punk sounds of Phantom (Parts 1 and 2).
My most recent purchase is an album by Kevin Drew (of Broken Social Scene). I've only listened to it the once so far but it looks to be extremely promising. It sounds like a more accessible Broken Social Scene. My only gripe so far is that at 16 songs it goes on a bit.
One album I wasn't going to mention but I've just so happen to put on is Lily Allen's. Ignore what you've heard. Buy it, it's great!
So there you have it. There are other albums I'm really in to at the moment but I've run out of time.
