    *whispers quietly* I love Richard Cheese. *shame*

    *whispers even more quietly* I quite like Barry Manilow's original. Especially at parties where everyone is 35+, uninhibited, and a little bit trollied. *end overshare*

    Pay me to tag your shop, it's still antibusiness.

    This doesn't add up, no pun intended, much. Some graffiti artists have used their often incredible talent to brighten up city walls (I'm still gutted by the Kingsland wall being covered over for the world cup), and in some cases have gone to canvas, with quite amazing results.

    They deservedly get paid for this talent, and some do quite well out of it, although very few in New Zealand.

    It's these sorts of things that restore your faith in humanity.

    The Iddie Izzard Death Star Canteen is also restorative in that sense, but I've posted that before I think.

    "I'll have the Penne a l'Arrabiata."

    Gold.

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    As covered earlier, I am definitely of the Album variety. I might then buy singles off the album, because they have extra tracks, or in the case of Julia Deans forthcoming album, because I went to see her live, and loved it. When you find a fully crafted album, or even compilation, that works from track one to the end, there's nothing better.

    iTunes is great for making your own comps though.

    For the record, it was Bob Newhart, and they were in bed.

    And don't go searching for it until after the final, cause while it is clearly ridicolous, it will take you to places that involve spoilers.

    You have been warned.

    Well, I waited a day, but hey, you must have expected it, right?

    Oh, I know eggheadonism. In a pejorative sense of course.

  • Hard News: Music's emerging digital market,

    JB has had some vinyl re-releases, that maybe you could find elsewhere, but when you browse through and find NO Brotherhood, titles by Bauhaus, DCD and other 4AD staples in 180gsm, and have to put back 6 Radiohead 12" singles because really you didn't need them, then I do find myself getting a little excited.

    I buy half my music online, and still want the physical item for a good portion of it. It is probably nostalgia, but when some bands go to all the trouble of making a work of art that slides out of it's cover, and has a booklet, and loads of information and photos, then it feels right to get the whole package. Maybe that's just my tactile nature.

    "One, two, three and a bit! Lockwood Smith is full of..."

    That was you? You sure left us hanging. Oh, now I get it...
    Is it time for a video, so we can all le'go and move on.

    Simon Cowell is a bloke? I'm lost, and will never watch American Idol again.
