Queen: Bicycle Race
I have a love – hate relationship with France.
The French in general are a most unhappy, unapologetic and miserable breed of person. Evidenced by their recent demise at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, or their catalog of general work-strikes on an all too often a basis. Their transportation and public restrooms have the [...]
Seven Songs to Cool Down a Heatwave
Ever found yourself trapped in a long, sweltering and sticky heatwave? You step outside and are greeted by a damp, oven-blast of heated air, hot enough to fry an egg on your stomach. Well, there’s no need to fret as you can escape to the coolness of your air conditioned home / vehicle [...]

Roll on thirteen more years and the three albums previously mentioned still sound good and [...]
David Bowie: Thursday’s Child
Thursday’s Child has far to go. And so does this song… it is one of those late Bowie numbers that I don’t care much for – one of those that can float around and turn into background noise very easily. I’m a big Bowie fan, but I am more of a fan of [...]
