By the way...

I have not abandoned this blog. Work's just kept me busy and I'm actually starting playing the guitar again and undertaking some self-help work on your creativity project, so I haven't had as much time to blog as usual. I wanted to hit this blog at least once a week but well, maybe in a bit I can get back to that.

I want to write more "People I'd Like to Take Out To Dinner" articles, and am thinking of someday soon lengthily singing the praises of Franz Ferdinand, Sonic Youth, Sebadoh and Pearl Jam, I just need to find the time to sit down, write something and do the article justice!

So stay tuned, you faithful 2 readers!

Songs I Can't Stand Part 2



I feel old doing this one, because I remember laughing at old Tonight Show footage where Steve Allen was reading in a very serious tone the lyrics to "Be Bop-a-Lu-La" or something like that and as the audience was laughing with him, thinking "My God, Steve, you're right this makes no sense!" I was laughing at him, thinking "My God, get a life, it's just lyrics."

And yet Fergie's London Bridge lyrics just make me wanna go "Huh?" And it's sung in one of those ways where it leeches onto your brain and sucks the life out of it.

How come everytime you come around,
My London, London bridge, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, wanna go down like,
London, London, London, we goin’ down like…

Is it in your head now too? Good. Let's suffer together!
