First of all I have to say RIP Clarence Clemons - saxophonist and member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Almost every time we went out as a family when I was younger my Dad played Bruce Springsteen in the car so his music is a bit of a nostalgia trip for me. Dad always used to talk about Clarence so, of course, I began to know his name and ( Read more... )

So, hutchiebear and I headed to Milton Keynes for Collectormania today. I wasn't that interested in any guests (Dean Andrews is there tomorrow though so we're gonna go back) but he wanted to see Patrick Stewart and Kate Mulgrew (who aren't gonna be there tomorrow). We decided it would be fun to dress up as Gene Hunt and Alex Drake and that's just what we did ( Read more... )

My friend Simon (hi!) got free tickets to a Selena Gomez gig (plus meet and greet) and asked me if I wanted to go with him so that's exactly what we did today. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you she was brilliant! I was very impressed. It's a shame really that I didn't know any of her material - apart from the three covers that she did - as I ( Read more... )

Awesome episode of "24" last night - even my Sky box deciding to only record half of it (again!) and skipping about 15 minutes of what it did record which meant I had to get Marks downloaded copy could distract from it's awesomeness! ( Day 8, 3am-4am (8x12) )

I'm listening to Rooney's CD - I hadn't listened to it for ages (although I think it's on my iPod) but I just watched the "Princess Diaries" and was reminded how cute Robert Schwartzman is in that movie. So, yeah, I got the CD out for the first time in ages ( Read more... )

Holy crap.

Stephen Gately's dead

:(

He was (along with Ronan) my favourite member of Boyzone.

Check out Gigwise and their apparent 50 Worst Albums of the 2000'sYou know what really annoys me? When people look at a list like this and say something like "I loved Let Go when I was younger - I'm ashamed to admit". Screw that! You liked it and probably still do! Just admit it! Be proud of what you like, who gives a fudge if others think it's ( Read more... )

I heard a song last night that pretty much sums up my life - it was featured in some movie I watched - check out the video:

And here's the lyrics if you're wondering.

I just ordered Taylor Swift's "Fearless" CD fom amazon.co.uk. I saw her performing on GMTV this morning and I thought she was quite good - good live performance and I liked the new single. Amazon are doing it for quite a good price so I thought "why not?". I hadn't bought a new CD in a while anyway - I also picked up Kelly Clarkson's latest at the ( Read more... )

I'm watching Bruce Springsteen's Glastonbury performance from last night - I watched some of it last night but was too tired so Sky+ed the rest. He might be getting on but he's still got it. I couldn't believe it yesterday and the presenters said that some of the people at Glastonbury didn't know who Bruce Springsteen even is!! WTF? Where the hell ( Read more... )
