...was about 4, my nursery school chums and I always knew what our "favourite things" were... and we were quite ardent in our devotion to them too. There was no hesitation or indecisiveness; no pausing to reflect or reconsider our selections. We only had one shot at rehearsing them to politely tolerant, but otherwise totally indifferent adults: "Favourite superhero-- SPIDERMAN; favourite colour-- BLUE, favourite toy-- TONKA FIRE ENGINE, favourite ice cream flavour--MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP..." None of us particularly CARED whether or not you wanted to hear them recited either. You just DID. That was the rule. You had no choice. We didn't make a distinction between a cornered listener's "captivated, rapt amazement" and his or her "fast-eroding, insincere tolerance." Why? Because, without our mind-numbingly tedious "favourite-thing rap," we had... Read review

...After his appearance on I'm a celebrity Peter Andre has tried to re-launch his music carrier. Back in the early nineties he had a hit called Mysterious girl which was very poor to say the least, but when he saw the chance he tried to re-launch his carrier after the series of I’m a celebrity.

...Two years ago The Strokes took the World by storm with the release of their debut album Is This It. The band had already built up a big reputation, being moved at Reading from the Radio 1 tent to The Main stage and then returning a year later to headline. A quick and rapid rise that has seen them release the follow up to 2001’s big hit with Room On Fire almost 2 years to the day after the debut. The much anticipated album has now been released though and having had a few weeks of listening to it, I’ve finally decided what I actually think about it. The album is a short punchy 33 minutes long and is produced by the same producer as the debut offering, Gordon Raphael. Of course it wasn’t all easy going, Raphael originally wasn’t meant to be producing and the band had actually finished the album back in June. However they were unhappy... Read review
