Although I’ve not checked out the range yet, I just saw the Madonna H&M on the television and love it. When she signed up, I thought it was a bit of an odd brand to associate herself with as H&M is seen as a little bit budgety in the UK but this advert really makes […]

A few more Eurovision entries have been listened to and despite some good competition from a disco-tastic Belgian entry, Belarus and Russia remain my two favourites!
The Belarus entry is from a man called Dmitry Koldun who won Star Factory, the Belarusian equivalent of Fame Academy, in 2006. After some dispute between labels and the selection […]

Haha. No it’s not Annie, but a former Norwegian reality tv contestant called Lene Alexandra Øien. Please watch it, it’s a) hilarious and b) not that bad a tune. It’s basically the output of Le Tigre if we were thrown into severley bizarro world.

I’m a eurovision fan, not so much as other people but I enjoy it for a great music event, rather than a stupid pisstake like most people I know. When I was a lonely teenager, I used to make little scoreboards and take down notes about each song. I never managed to actually do it […]

So y’know how I love Billie and all… well on Friday I went to the 2nd press night of “Treats” - her West End stage debut. The play is a short three-hander on one set that centres around Ann and her boyfriend dilemmas. Does she choose the dull but nice one or the mean, bad […]

Everything has started going a little odd recently. For starters, it’s just the start of March but London is acting like it’s summertime. I walked to work today without a coat, didn’t take a coat out with me on Saturday night and more importantly the first real summery song landed in my inbox. It also […]

I was neither at nor did I see the TV broadcast of this year’s NME Awards this week. If you want a commentary though gaypop was. However I’ve only just heard the much touted Beth Ditto and Jarvis Cocker duet covering Heaven 17’s “Temptation”. So just in case you haven’t here it is:
It’s nowhere near […]
