Oh God Poor America

Okay, so Miley Cyrus wants to meet Radiohead backstage at the grammy's, 'cause they're like one of her like favourite bands like rock Gods and like she would just like cry and like stand out in the cold even if it was like zero degrees out just to meet them, but they said no thanks, "we don't do that". 

She says she's going to "tell everyone" and ruin them.
 
Radiohead spokesman criticizes her 'self of entitlement'.

She is, like, an idiot. Although I feel its not even all her fault.

Warning: following the link to the audio and listening to the radio piece may forever taint your opinion of the United States/the future of radio/humanity in general or at the very least Miley Cyrus.


p.s. - she closes her eyes when singing not because it means a lot but because its awkward like looking at people while you sing. 

really don't listen to it.

RE: falling off the face of the earth

Hello,
I just wanted to leave a quick note here in case (God forbid) anyone might actually stumble across this once fine blog, and wonder

"Whatever happened to that young man who used to rant and rave and blog of a time? Such a nice young man."

Well, due to some logistal issues and computer related setbacks/developments, blogging has been postponed for a while.
I do hope to return to play the f**king note in the future, so please don't forget about us forever. Who knows, some day you might be thinking to yourself (in an English accent)

"I do wonder whether that nice young man has gotten up off his arse and posted any delightful blogs. Such a nice arse."

ah hello again

It's been an extremely long time since my last post, so there is a bit of news to catch up on. I suppose first and foremost is my new job as presenter of The Cinema Show on Spin South West. I'll be presenting an hour long look at the latest in cinema and DVD releases, news, reviews and interviews.
Started just before Christmas and most recently Alan Owens of The Limerick Leader joined me for a bit of a ram-shackle preview of 2009 movies (just can't get out of lazy Christmas mode!). Here's one I'm really looking forward to:

So be sure to tune into the Cinema Show on Spin South West 8.45 - 9.45pm Sundays!! I'll try to get my head around Podcasts and all that jazz too.
