Boomtown Rats: I Don’t Like Monday’s
I don’t like Monday’s. Who does? The weekend is over, and those two days never have enough hours for you to spend time with the family and get all the jobs done you intended to do. Last week’s laundry will have to wait until next week, the grass will just have to [...]
Supertramp: Breakfast in America
hat’s what my Mum and Dad are stuck doing right now – they should be in the air flying back to England as I write this entry, but because of the recent volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajokull (I won’t even try to pronounce that) they are stranded. It could be worse – there are not [...]
Madness: Night Boat to Cairo
Madness. This is probably the most accurately named band in existence. You’ve got to love the insanity and cheapness of this video.

Yesterday I ranted a little about the uselessness of 70’s music. Well, maybe I need to apologize a little bit. The entire decade wasn’t all that bad – after all, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Queen would not stand where they do today if it wasn’t for the 70’s. Boogie Wonderland, performed [...]
Monty Python: Always Look On The Bright Side of Life
return to work today after a two week long vacation. It’s going to be a struggle to get back into the swing of things, especially as today is a Friday, which means the weekend is only a step away. But, I’m a trooper, this isn’t the end of the world (have you [...]
Blondie: Sunday Girl
At home, I have this track on a Blondie “Greatest Hits” CD. It is a bi-lingual version, not the one I’m featuring today – with one verse sung in French. It’s a little too much sophistication for me, though I will admit the French language does lend itself well to music. [...]
