New Spice Girls video. There are no fairies, candlesticks, visibly erect nipples, or futuristic cityscapes, and Mel C is still the only one who can sing. Probably not worth the wait. (You weren't waiting all this time, breath half-stilled?)

The Spice Girls are bringing out their own range of furniture! I want to sit on Emma! Posh would be really uncomfortable. Also, mirrors in every colour of the rainbow. When I think of Scary furniture, I still think of the horny chairs I saw in San Antonio. Or flesh-eating sofas ( Read more... )

Woo! Not only did I get my chance to buy tickets for the Spice Girls in London, I also got a code for Spice Girls tickets in Köln on December 20th! Evidently they're not so popular in the land of Chicks on Speed. At least they put on extra shows in London ( Read more... )

I had another post-apocalyptic dream last night. We were being held prisoner in Jeffrey Street in Edinburgh's old town (coincidentally this is the usual venue for my work's Xmas meal).

Apple computers turn you into a God-hating, church-attacking maniac!

Ethical shopping is shit!

Spice Girls considering adding lots more dates to their tour! Please let this be true ( Read more... )

I just got the new Art Brut CD. While the first album was all about adolescent love and tentative sexual fumblings, this time it's more about break-ups, hangovers, no longer having sex, and thinking of other things while having sex. So there's not quite the same exhilaration, though the lyrics are even better than before. Direct Hit is brilliant ( Read more... )

Best pop videos set in a forest

Random YouTubery.

This is astonishingly fantastic, Suicide doing Ghost Rider. Elvis meets Karlheinz Stockhausen. Also Mr Ray; any resemblance to Sister Ray is entirely accidental.

I've seen John Cale twice in the past few years, and he never sang my favourite song. He wrote I Keep A Close Watch for Frank Sinatra, who never even did it ( Read more... )
