I want to hate their stuff, but it's just so damned catchy!

Born To Rock...

Oct. 1st, 1974 - Keith Peter Thomas Francis John Duffy, formerly of Boyzone, and now currently of Boyzone again, is born...

Aaargh! I tried to fight it... I tried not to care that they were back together... I wanted to not like this, like I didn't really like their songs originally... but the new song has beaten me into submission... "Love You Anyway"...

Something Old, Something New...

Something Old... A song that I've only just managed to get my hands on...

The Rezillos - "Top Of The Pops"...


Something New - My new favourite current song... replacing (or at the very least, tying with) Nickelback's "Rock Star" (yes, it's probably not really "current" any longer, but who cares?)...

Kid Rock and "All Summer Long"...


(Can anyone tell me, is that a sample of "Werewolves Of London" in there?)

The Cat Spot... And A Bit Of General Waffle...

Whew... That's another Friday the 12+1th over!

Actually *whispers just in case Fate's clock is slow* this Friday 13th hasn't been too bad.

Work was okay... For some reason there was a kind of last-day-before-the-school-holidays vibe going on - which included boss & Flunky having an ongoing elastic band battle, and both of them locking me out of the office and store (combination locks on both doors because it's a shared building) when I went to the loo, and then hiding from me once I got back in. Honestly, sometimes it's like working with The Chuckle Brothers' more annoying little brothers! *rolls eyes*

Shopping tonight.

Oh... yesterday I sold my old mobile phone for £20, so I treated myself to a new album. The Fratellis second album, "Here We Stand" - and I really can't recommend it highly enough! I was a bit worried what it would be like... you know, "second album syndrome" and all that? But it doesn't disappoint! The current single, "Mistress Mabel" is really good, but at the moment my favourite track is "Lupe Brown" - although that might change.

And I had a blast from the past today on our tin-pot local radio station... There's a feature called "The Time Tunnel" (basically a rip-off of Radio 1's "Golden Years" as lovingly presented by Simon Mayo) and they played this, which I've not heard for years...

That was Joshua Kadison and "Jessie"... and I loved that song when it was released.

Well, I guess I'll bugger off now and get ready for bed, because I've already been getting very strong hints from Harriet that it's time for sleep!
