I currently have "Mysterious Girl" by Peter Andre going around my head. I've no idea why.

But I don't see why I should be the only one to have to suffer it. Hopefully I've infected a couple of you now. HA!

Can't get me. Every time I edit that MySpace page, another Blues song kicks off on that music player, so it's "Gun Street Girl" (with kitchen equipment percussion) all the way.

I've got the iPod (the one I mysteriously lost and then PJM found) playing The Killers very loud. And it's on shuffle so I might get the Mammas and the Pappas next.

Now I can't stop thinking about Peter Andre.

This is the worst day ever, I might aswell go and shoot myself in the face until I am dead.

On a lighter note, did you know Peter Andre allegedly overdosed on potassium from eating too many bananas?

the lovely-ex had the Scissor Sisters "Don't Feel Like Dancing" as his alarm clock noise. Now every time I hear it I automatically react with a "ARGH! It's 6.45am! Fuck off to work so I can have the bed to myself for another hour" which doesn't go down well at the disco. Do they still call them discos? Do they still have discos?

You itch that chicken, madam. As long as it's the deep fried skin of some sort of farmyard animal, I'm sure it will have the desired effect.

First Album? - Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam and the Ants. I bought it second hand from one of my sister's friends who had suddenly decided that smoking was a great idea. It cost me 50p that the young lady in question used to buy a packet of 20 JPS.

The worrying thing is that the third album I bought was S.O.A.D. - Mesmerize.

80s Classics
A couple of weekends ago, back when it was summer and the sun was shining, me n' the bloke were driving somewhere or other so he could fly his planes, and after much twiddling of the knob (of the radio) we were feeling dejected because modern music is so rubbish, but THEN... Lo! The opening bars of Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" pounded out the the crumbly speakers, and we grinned and wound down the windows and went zooming round the ringroad in a rusty van smelling of diesel, duetting to one of the worst (and therefore the best) 80s songs ever.
Magic.
