Hi Brad-What do you make of the Atlas Sound album? (I'm really enjoying it)

Hi! Great top artists there! :-)

Well my favourite Idol fellas are Archuleta, Hernandez and Chikezie. I still hate Noriega and would like to punch his silly face, but I have to admit he was good too! BUT!!! The main excitement was... WE COULD SEE WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THE CUPS!!! :D

And you don't!!? I said to Bert as we watched him yodel his way into our hearts, have you ever wanted to spoil something so pure as much as Archuleta? He had us at hello... having a fab time too! See you soon...

Have managed to wrestle the Canine's Mac away from him long enough to say told you so with regards to Glen and Marketa's Oscar win... and all hail Marion Cotillard!

My ears are burning. :)

I know! What a desperate saddo that man is... (heh) Mind you, it also highlights the glaring unpopularity of my shoutbox. If it wasn't for Bert, you could practically hear the tumbleweed a-blowin' through it...!

Yesterday was rough, we went out in the evening after an afternoon nap and it felt like going out and sinking a load of beers before breakfast. But I'm all together today, and having a lovely time. :) They have plenty of karaoke here. ;) As for Idol, it's torrenting its way onto my Mac right now. God I love my Mac.

Greetings from Wednesday, Brad! :)

thanks for stopping by

i admire your taste - sweet charts

I though I'd let you know, Ramiele was my favourite out of the girls most certainly! Shame she isn't going to win though... :^(

Tell me, do you have an accent like Asia'h's???

Brad you are a genius. :-) That Ski Sunday music isn't so much about the ski-ing for me, it brings up the whole childhood Sunday early evening routine of bath and homework and early night. The sense of it still being the weekend, but the school week only just around the corner.

While I'm on holiday, do you think it would be too much if I carried a little notebook round with me, and wrote down what I'd played on my iPod, in case of repeat plays over the fortnight? :)

Of course, what else could it be! ;-D Actually that would explain a lot. And, amazingly, I was drinking Red Stripe myself throughout last night's shows. It's Bertie-approved!

I have no idea why it took me so long to add you to my friends list. G13=major space cadet. :P

Unfortunately, all you guys are doing is putting a lot of pressure on me to make one just as good!

Amazing work, my friend.

Just starting on Idol over here. I like David Hernandez a lot. Did you know that for our showing, the red cups that are always in front of the judges get their white lettering blurred out?

No I didn't, brilliant! Although fridges and hot food shouldn't go together really! :)

Aw, just teasing. :) Sorry to hear the family's not been well. Anyway, I'm going to be on holiday for a couple of weeks after Saturday (as you might know if you've been stalking my page enough) so I'm abusing your shoutbox while I can. ;)

I'd forgotten that about Low, well done me!! As for VW, yes they really could be. And speaking of Low and Menomena, does one journal comment deserve another? ;-P

Gay Elvis is only a term though... I'd be right in thinking that the reality of it is sooo much more enjoyable/cringeworthy? We'll get about two hours of Idol tonight and another three tomorrow (that sound about right?)

I can't thank you enough for introducing me to Menomena, you know. Such an incredible band.

Hee! :) I liked all of those, and Metatron too. As for Idol, it HAS been Thursdays, but it seems to be on four times this week, twice tomorrow and twice on Friday... I guess they have a lot of contestants to get through!

Very much so. Rarrr!

Heh. Thanks... That was taken at Christmas, with a fake moustache that someone was given as a present in our office. Was a bit tricky trying to get it to stay on top of my 'mazingly manly 'n' macho stubble

Ha, you know it. The likes of you and me would qualify for advanced geekery certificates where scrobbling is concerned. :)

MADNESS!! I like it. :) Clearly there's a Roisin fan on the production team. She's not exactly a household name HERE, let alone over there. (Is she?) And my two favourite tracks from Ruby Blue, too! As for Cat, I have a soft spot for her after her glory days on Saturday morning TV. And it's VERY nice when there's a Brit abroad with a regional accent and not a generic boring one.

Ramiele is as cute as a button and very sweet indeed. That dance routine is INSANE! - Roisin would approve, I'm sure. :) And Oh! My! God! Cat Deeley! Had no idea she'd made it big in the States.

The rest of the album follows the same folky stride, sure, but it's also quite heartfelt, which I have to say has been missing on their previous work. Sure all the songs about smoking and screwing were great, but this album actually has some love songs on it. It's lovely!

Ooh, ooh! An Idol fan!! Am liking Ramiele too (cute as a button and probably as big!), but Archuleta does it for me. And the Irish girl and the Aussie dude, the rest can be voted off in any order really... Can't help if I've asked before but have to again... you liking the new Goldfrapp? They've broken into the Top 10 Singles over here with A&E (gorgeous)...

OMG are you going to be watching Idol for real? That'd be great! :) I like M79 a helluva lot too, it sounds very like a tv theme that no Brits my age have ever been able to [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB74Y_jDN6c]forget[/url].

Oh! And we had the Grammys on tv here this weekend, so I saw Brad-in-a-wig at full-screen size ;-)

Wow, well it's available from the usual outlet ;-) And good luck!
