Adrian, I can honestly say that I've never heard them sing a note, but even I know that the correct response to the above question is...

Would you like to walk home?

Your Take That from last year was much better!


I made sure it was a short journey and we arrived gave him back the CD and said you enjoy it in your bedroom. It is so nice to see him sing along though and he thinks he is really cool - cute!

As for Take That, I have to say I think they are not too bad at all. Going to buy the missus and kids the live DVD....

I prefer JLS to that Chinese music you tortured me with in Sydney Winker

I done a lol. Safe driving, Adrian.

While we're on the subject, I'd like to dedicate this next one to Tiger...



I think I might be buying the Take That dvd for someone myself!

Excellent!

But now it is:


Rimitti, Sidi Mansour



The grand'ma of Raï, featuring Mr. Grumpy himself and his frippertronics.

For those who like world music, this is a must. Fantabulous!

Here are a few good ones from today's Sunday Times:



That's the first time Tiger has failed to drive 300 yards.

Tiger drives into a water hazard.

Tiger crashed into a fire hydrant and a tree ... he couldn't decide between a wood and an iron.

Tiger's wife went for him over a birdie.

After a wayward drive, Tiger finds water before nestling behind a tree.

There is snow on the ground, the temperature is cool and I'm in my Schubert mode at the moment. A wonderful new release that I can't stop listening to. What a pleasure to join Franz Schubert and Wilhelm Müller for this dramatic, profound, melancholy journey of self-discovery. Winterreise is probably the greatest set of German songs that exist.

Obviously, not for those who sincerely believe music should only be happy, uplifting, innocuous, apathetic, or emotionless.

Great choice, must dig that one out.

Yup. I'd almost forgotten how good it was, and had to put it on again. I remember playing it all the time (along with Portishead's Dummy and Tricky's Maxinquaye) when it came out.

I haven't exactly got my hopes up as I didn't think much of the recent ep, but I'm praying their new one is worth the wait, featuring... (deep breath) Tunde Adebimpe, Martina Topley-Bird, Horace Andy, Guy Garvey, Hope Sandoval, and Damon Albarn (and Rob and G):



They've just announced it's out February 8th.

I can never listen to "Rhymes of an Hour" without thinking of a young Liv Tyler being deflowered under a Tuscan olive tree.
