a google search for "jo whiley is shit" led me here

it appears i'm not the only one of this opinion

i don't have the 'pleasure' of hearing her show very often, but when i do she invariably bigs up some awful record using the phrase "goose-bumps" or "hairs stand on end". usually with reference to some toss by embrace or similar dull mediocre rubbish.
of course she's not alone in having a different opinion to me of what is a good tune...
but she manages to be one of the most annoying.

some boy racers choose their goose-bump/hairs on end tunes

bwah ha ha.... < /music snobbery>

This was the world's idea of an English party, with beautiful people gathered around on the patio and lawns, sipping champagne and nibbling unknown whatnots. Jane's cousin sang to an electric keyboard backing and occasionally others would join in, including a very camp waiter who, although black, did not know the words to 'Ole Man River'. Later I found out why when he sang 'Big Spender' and his voice was higher than Shirley MacLaine's. Croquet, Throwing the Wellie, Cricket and chat were the order of the day and when we left at about 7.30 they were moving into the ballroom for dancing.

paul daniels has a blog!! i'm waiting for hans moretti's

anyhoo the boys are playing first. next up is heretic, who seem reminiscent of manslorter* from a brief look at their biography

novelty rap

quote: "Rat Rapping by Roland Rat Superstar
A briefly surprisingly popular novelty act on British television (Good Morning Britain), that went on to garner its own kids' show, video game, some toys, and a few records, including this one. "Lots of talk and lots of action; Roland Rat's the main attraction! With a penthouse suite, swimming pool, pretty young guinea pigs playing it cool, Rolls Royces, yachts, caviar - told you once: I'm a superstar. Lah dee dah, lah dee dee. I'm a superstar; don't question me!" This song features guest vocals by Kevin the Gerbil." also big-up the stutter rap!

somebody should do a novelty drum and bass list for all those d'n'b pastiches used on crappy daytime tv themes and of course the the original nuttah touch 'n' fresh advert

yet more about the park from the bbceee

"...Duncan was in a band at that time that had a really egotistical lead singer, so when he was in a new band he wanted everyone to have an equal say, so Maximo Park reflected that.”
