At Last...

...a President who can keep to a beat.




Americans are so funny- somehow it just turned into Cinderella with Beyonce cast as the fairy godmother!

Shoot me...

...if I ever say the words “I don’t suffer fools gladly”

Is there some sort of Sayings Shop which you visit at the age of 30 where you are granted permission to suddenly slip this expression into everyday conversation? 12 year olds just can’t get away with saying it.

I especially hate it when people choose this expression to define their personality- like in Big Brother audition tapes- you have 1 minute to describe yourself and you choose to make yourself “stand out” with an overused phrase that you probably dont know the meaning of anyway, but heard your mums friend say once.

It’s up there with “I’m MAD me!” errr...you can’t call yourself mad- that negates the madness!

You heard her - she's got her boobies

How come no-one ever told me about Nina Simone before? She's like a ye olde Lauryn Hill- amazing.

Speaking of whom....

It doesn't happen very often...

....but there are those rare occasions when the cover is better than the original.

Like thus....

Al Green - How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (Bee Gees)



Stevie Wonder - We Can Work It Out (The Beatles)


Radiohead - Nobody Does It Better (Carly Simon)



Fugees - Ready Or Not (Jackson 5)



Magnet - Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan)




Nina Simone - I Put A Spell On You (Screamin Jay Hawkins)





David Bowie - Wild is The Wind (Johnny Mathis)





Travis - Hit Me Baby One More Time (Britney Spears)




Anthony & The Johnsons - Crazy In Love (Beyonce Knowles)




James Morrison - Come Back And Stay (Paul Young)

Stevie Forever

I just love the way he says Halloween

I'm walkin here, I'm walkin here!

Who knew?

I always assumed that he was singing about his sister (as you would), but I just read that it's actually a tribute to Boy George.

Anthony has said that as a transgendered child he felt completely lost until he saw the cover of a Culture Club album and felt that in Boy George he had finally found someone who would understand him- a "sister".

Awww- I like this interpretation.

Either way- it's a great song and encapsulates how I feel about my three sisters- no other song can make you appreciate a sibling more.
