Hello,
Sorry I have not been posting for a long long while, I gave up but now my blog it seems has got quite popular strangely enough. So now I am going to start posting more often, probably a music review a week and maybe some political stuff. My next blog will be a review of TOY's incredible album, "Join The Dots".
Thankyou

Crippled Fix
Yo, sup my 3 people that care about music, umm, just to say, Little Mix have won the X-Factor, if you didnt already know... Anyway, everyone I know has been saying how it was a fix, now this is utter rubbish, 1. Because I think Little Mix, for once in the history of the X-Factor, deserved to win it. 2. Marcus is basically what the X-Factor love, young, northern, good personality and a sad backstory. Whereas Little Mix are bright and happy and all of them led relatively sheltered lives in South Sheilds or wherever. So it cant have been a fix, you are WRONG
Review of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds- AKA What a Life
Now let me say this straight away, AKA What a Life is a great album. A lot of people have said that it is too reminicent of Oasis and it is Noel Gallagher's comfort zone, if that is the case, who is complaining? Oasis was basically a Noel Gallagher solo album so why worry? And an album in Noel Gallagher's comfort is a fabulous thing. Firstly, many have never realised the sheer quality of Noel's voice, it is great, really good. My favourite song on the album is Let the Lord Shine a Light on Me, by far, it is new territory for the Oasis mastermind and it works perfectly. There are a few Oasis-esque songs, granted, but they sound fresh and new and not outdated. Those songs being If I had a Gun, AKA What a Life and Dream On, incidentally, watch the video for Dream On. A finer music video you will not see. This album is just a masterpiece, I cannot describe fully how good it is, you will just have to listen to it.

Basically Made In Chelsea Is Really Bad
Hmm......these blogs are getting harder... I need ideas.... Just a quick word on programmes like The Only Way Is Essex and Hollyoaks....they're really bad, who in their right mind would specifically turn on the television to watch a bunch of young people with brooding faces shout at each other and tangle with their 2nd best friends relationships? Basically every plotline is that Chantelles boyfriend Cory loves Chardonnay whilst Lee is in prison because of a drunken night out with Abi and Wayne but since Wayne loves Abi, Lee got angry and started shouting and swearing at Wayne " 'Ow cood ya doo dis too me, i fort we was bruvvers, yah?" All the while Abi is crying "Dont 'urt 'im Lee, Wayne 'ees not wurf it" but Abi secretly loves Cory who loves...you get the picture.....kind of. The mind-boggling thing about these "programmes" is that these people are so akin too their characters, its more of a documentry than anything. I usually wouldnt go near these programmes with a bargepole, yet, since they are always before my beloved programme Scrubs, I have to endure 3 minutes of Essex accented audio torment. To sum up The Only Way Is Essex and Made In Chelsea I will finish on a quote from Keira- Leigh
"Is Africa a country or a state?"
The countrys going to the dogs....

Sour Thoughts And Music Noughts
Hello again, if on the off chance you like this cynical blog of sour thoughts and music noughts then please recommend it to either friends or aquaintances etc. I was just thinking today about the X-Factor...
Now, this isnt a gripe or a whine, but I wanted to say something about it. My view on it is that people do not watch it because they actually enjoy the crap singing on it it is because it provides them with entertainment, now I do in fact watch it, judging by my previous blogs you are probably thinking "Why does someone so sour and cynical watch something so mainstream as the X-Factor?" Well, its probably more of a dull bemusement. However I watch it to make callous remarks on Tulisas accent and musical musings. "Cos' I is a musical genius yah?" Also because I have nothing better to do on a saturday night... But I hate the way Dermot brainw- a wonderful presenter with incredible stage presence... The main reason is because it provides me with ammunition when I send my long-winded slightly offensive e-mails to Radio 1.
One last thing, you would think that since the X-Factor corporate machine is rolling in so much dough, they could afford some fake microphones for when the "acts" are performing, I have seen everything, water bottles, deodrant cans, hair curlers, I once saw one of those pointless massive pencils you can get from the duty-free at Dublin Airport......
