Why Don't You Like Me? Why Don't You Like Yourself?

Too long since my last blog - I know, and I am sorry. Life seems to be getting busier, and time goes faster - the result is I seem to get less done :o)

I love Mika’s 'Grace Kelly’- so what is the album ‘Life In a Cartoon Motion’ like? Well, my best description is a gorgeous blend of Queen, The Darkness and Scissor Sisters; which may sound like an odd mix. The truth is, this albumin theory probably should’t work – but it does. I have read, and heard, some pretty scathing reviews for this album – throw them in the bin and don’t listen. Judge the album for yourself – I think it is brilliant!!!

Shattered that Take That were in Melbourne yesterday, and I didn't get to see them :o( They were so close, yet so far away. Hopefully the promo tour will go well and we will get them back here for a proper tour! The more nice things they say about Robbie - the sadder and more futile the bands break-up and subsequent media war between Williams and Barlow becomes, even10 years on. The band seem super confident that Robbie will rejoin Take That, in some capacity ,at some stage in the future -it will be interesting to see if they are right.

I was in Canberra for the long weekend. Yes, Canberra. Why? I have a very dear friend there. But that is beside the point....we were listening to the radio and the totally painful Panic at the Disco's 'I Write Sins, Not Tragedies' or whatever it is called came on - and Canberra radio stations cut out the God!!! So it says 'I chimed in with a haven't you people ever heard of closing a *blank* damn door'. If you are going to go to the extreme of taking God out, why leave the damn? Is damn not more offensive than God? Are either offensive? What is wrong with Canberra???

Which leads me to Lily Allen's latest (and justified) beef - this time with MTV. The Lil-sters new track is banned because it drops the f-bomb (which they can edit out) - MTV gave the explanation (allegedly) that the word is offensive, and not for children. MTV also made a reference to the f* word as causing children to grow up too quickly. Miss L has not refuted this, but pointed out that if MTV are programming for children perhaps the semi-clad Paris Hilton and Pussy Cat Dolls gyrating against anyone and anything is not the wisest of decisions...Fair call.
