Last single I bought was a download Pendulum did through their website to raise money for the relief effort in JapanObviously I did this out of the goodness of my heart, and not because I'd buy fucking anything Pendulum put their name to, like a tragic, misguided sheep.
Last No. 1 single - easy. Downloaded Killing In The Name during that hilarious but ultimately daft campaign to belittle Simon Cowell, which obviously made him all the more money as a result of the competition. With hindsight, whilst "Fuck you I won't do what you tell me" might have seemed the perfect riposte to the X-Factor automaton army, several million people did, in fact, do exactly what they were told. Take The Power Back might have been a better choice of RATM song.

I buy music quite a bit, probably a few albums a month, and I pay for a few audiobooks/podcast thinggies.'cus I got iTunes on my phone, it's too easy to just think "OK, £2 for an hour and a half of Ricky Gervais making me smile... I'll get it", because you don't see the money, just the results... but eventually £15-20 is gone each month.
Some of them are really shit, but there are a few real jems, "Old jews telling jokes" is a good background one.

Some of the jew stuff is cringe worthy, and I'm not 100% sure everyone would get the humour unless they were bought up in a jewish household, or somewhere like the east end, but there is a lot there for everyone.DLSvSP are amazing hip hop artists, and Angles, their first album, have the most inspirational and clever lyrics I've ever seen in rap. Not a single song is "I AM SO GOOD, LOOK AT MY BLING". It includes a song about Tommy Cooper and Beauty, which always makes me smile. It really is awesome.
0o0o0o0oh, didn't realise you were into rap, Example's album "What we made" is good, and I quite like Devlin. Dirty Diggers aren't bad eaither.
Adele is good background music I find, doesn't get me pumping, but is one of those good background albums that lets you think about whatever you have to think about.
I totally dig SemiSonic, oldie but a goody.
