Yay blogger is finally back!! Apparantly they have been so busy after the buyout from Google that the server went arse up! Here’s Kottie’s prediction of the future Blogger design!

Popstars Flopstars? – Louis Walsh has admitted that the Popstars Tour has been cancelled because tickets just weren’t selling. Apparantly being associated with One True Voice just wasn’t helping!! Damn shame I had free tickets from the beeb (i’ll go to anything )

Dance Dance Revolution : the greatest game known to man now in finger form!! Rik is in top place but im at no 7. Seeing we both got all of them right i’m
not quite sure how this system is working though!! Check it out.

Catch me if you don’t fall asleep first should be the title of the new Spielberg flick. A fantastic cast headed by Hanks & DiCaprio brought a fantastic bit of whimsy to the screen. And although it was well acted throughout the film just went on far too long. Not knowing how long it was to start with, it is just not right to leave a cinema at midnight when you entered at 9pm. I wasted 3 hours of my life!! Much like the opening credits, its about a 1/3rd too long.

Looking forward to Two Weeks Notice thought. Even my non hugh loving friends are raving about how fine he is.

New blogs!! Thanks submeat for linking to Chig and Troubled diva! Both ace.

I think I’m going to go and see Catch me if you can tonight . Really want to see 2 weeks notice (mmm Hugh) but Katie has already seen it Got to go into uni, hand in an essay, then Pat’s popping over for a bit, then union exec then flicks!! Whoo

Wow. This blog has had over 1100 hits in the last 30 days!

Rik Waller is reborn: Oh lordy. I watched a bit of American Idol 2 this weekend. In a bizarre twist of fate, a HUUUGE guy called Reuben was actually being praised by Simon Cowell et al and they wanted him to go through to the final 10.

In comparison to Pop Idol it seems a bit pants really. The audience don’t seem particulary interested & the general aura of the show reeks of bad production. It also made me (yes MADE me) get a copy of Paula Abdul – Opposites Attract cos I thought it might be quite good to play at Score! (90s pop night I dj at uni) but no… Its quite pants really!

In spicy news : Well they all showed up for this dinner so whoah that is actually a huge move. Mel C’s spokeperson has refuted the claim that she will sing with the girls again. But I suppose it depends how the new album does really. I’m being v. negative about this. I used to love the Spice Girls… like love love… went to see them in concert etc.. I just think them back together would ruin the memories of the past somehow /me shrugs. I still would go see/buy them tho!

I realised that since the demise of the Tipsheet magazine, I haven’t been as up to date with good new stuff as I used to be. Hmm don’t laugh I tipped Heaven for the top back in January 2002. The tipsheet was a glorious, fantastic thing and although record of the day kindly sent users a special free copy of their mag this week, things just aren’t as good. Also I’m not sure I quite trust people who put a Ronan Keating song as a record of the day

So the main new music I currently have:

Stereopol – Dancing Tonight : Love it!! This disco stomper has got all the right qualities to be a big hit when it’s released. Not too sure it will be as big as it should though. Male vocals on dancey tracks don’t normally go down too well. Fingers crossed though. God knows when that release date is though cos I sure as hell can’t find it. It was featured on a MoS compiliation earlier in the year & is getting a lot of radio airplay on emap stations (at least) so it should be coming out soon. [EDIT... AHA March 17th!]

Kira – I’ll be your angel : A hell of a lot of places are heralding this as the return to good vocal trance. Sure its an original song and Flip & Fill havent vommed all over it but .. i dunno – it just doesn’t really do anything for me. Its no 3 on the Shazam! prerelease chart, yet i’m not too sure how good an indication that really is!! Out today so we shall see what the public thinks on sunday!

Junior Senior – Move your feet : Another disco stomper. Destined to be big

Jennifer Love Hewitt – Can I Go Now? : Yes you most definatly can! Never liked her… never thought she was as gorgeous as everyone seemed to think and oh boy this song is a turkey if ever I heard one!

Lazard – 4 O’Clock In The Morning : Been plugging this one for about a year and a half. Massive in Blackpool for ages and ages, it samples Orca – 4am. Big big female vocal (non cheesy) dance track that I hope finally does well when released.

And finally… I dunno if I dare say this for fear of being lynched

Scooter – Weekend : Yes its scooter. Yes it has a chipmunk vocal. Yes it samples something although I can’t for the life of me think of the name of the track but its a fab dance track from about 2 years ago. Yes its v. good. /me hides

Just a couple of things I came across this weekend:

Counting Crows feat Vanessa Carlton : Hmm.  Vanessa Carlton’s album was fab.  Counting crows .. I can’t say i’ve heard any more than the fantastic Colourblind taken from the stunning Cruel Intentions Soundtrack, but from the brilliance of that song I reckoned they were good.  Now here comes Big yellow taxi and I have to answer what the hell is going on.  I stayed watching the video cos it had Hugh Grant *yum* clips throughout it, but basically as well as covering a cack song (never liked it sorry if that means I should burn in hell), the featuring of Vanessa is minimal… all the girl does is sing "mmm bop bop bop" a couple of times!  Ludicrous & shite.  Don’t go there music buyers!

Blur – Coffee & TV Video : Yes I’m behind the times on this one by about, ooh, 4 years but how stonking cool is the video.  A little milk carton wanders round trying to help people.  It rocks supreme!!! Go watch.

X-boxes : got hold of my xbox and spent a hell of a lot of time playing BTVS on it.  Absolutely fab!! And if any of you have played the game, I’m just going to say one thing.  You want a piece of me?  I’ll give you the whole damn pie! Chortle chortle.

TaTu : Ok guys.  You get off on girls getting together .. but even when they are DOG ROUGH???

Mel C : Last album was stylish.  She broke away from the Spice Girl mould and did it well.  One fantastic album track that deserves a look up is Closer .  However her first single from album numero do is absolutly dreadful.  Having said that, its reported the Spicies are going to get back together.  No girls!! I was a big fan (yes *cough* it was cool then ok!) but NO!! NOT NOW!!  Crash & burn.  Your fans have all grown up & frankly your all too old & corrupted now to have the same energy that was in intial spicedom.

Wowwweeeee

The very fantastic Popjustice have linked to me! This is very very cool but it means that I should actually blog more regularly. Its been getting very sporadic recently, mainly because I’m just so knackered. But now I have motivation

I toddled off back home this weekend away from the Warwick bubble and oh boy, was it good to be back.
Friday night – went to mum’s for birthday meal type thing then bobbed into town to see who was about. Syndicate is very cool on a friday. The night is “Back to the future” and its all old skool .. jinny, jx etc type musique.
Sat night – Town! … (again). Did a bit of a pubcrawl with Andrea, Rick & Mike. Then met G, Jenny & Mark for an hour or so in Linekers where I saw Damian for a little while.. (hmm) and then heading off to The Syndicate where Sonique was playing. Nat joined up with us then and it resulted in a v. fun night of free aftershocks, although the music was uber hard. Nat & i then stayed up for many hours playing Buffy on the xbox! Quality game!

Ok the reason I’m hearing thundercats in horror is because I just received this email…
