Sharon Jones again

I forgot to mention that I got my Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings tickets in the mail--front row, baby! So let's watch Sharon show Janet Jackson how it's done*: But where do you get your retro funky soul if you live in England, now that Amy Winehouse can't string two syllables together before...

Brown delivers ’08’s best sitcom

Who else thought this? The Jaquie Brown Diaries is the funniest new comedy of 2008! Snappy writing, almost perfect timing, good casting. Brown, playing herself, is a natural at a sitcom. (And from my infrequent encounters, she is very humorous in real life.) This might even be exportable—maybe...

Ironbridge,Shropshire

Yesterday i went on quite the insightful bike ride from my home in Telford to another part of town called Ironbridge. As the day went on we eventually got there and i got a feeling i always seem to have when i come to this part of town, its strange but it feels as tho I'm not in Telford anymore ,...

I Spy for the FBI

In the midst of my Bill Murray spy-movie high I dug out one of my old favorite spy songs, "I Spy for the FBI." I first heard it sung by John Hiatt on his album Two-Bit Monsters, but I can't find that version. The second one I heard was a radical reworking by the early-80s British postpunk-swing band...

The British Invasion is Here!

The British are coming..the British are coming.. No, I don't mean the Beatles or Stones... It's the latest influx of British actors into mainstream US television! I have been observing the steady stream of UK's finest actors making the trip across the pond for some play in jolly, ole' Hollywood. I...

Vox populi

Dear Gordon,

From then on in you have messed up badly,you have poured billions into services but managed to make them serve bureaucracy rather than the electorate,more managers than beds in the health service and...

Xenophobic potential flatmate ruins Friday night

Okay, so I'm looking to move out of where I am, because I've been there for three years and that's enough for anybody. So I answered this ad on gumtree (you may have seen the ads, exhorting you to "grow up with gumtree", and then citing some nauseating story of user interaction where true love was...

George Michael setlist, American Airlines Center, July 13

I reiterate that if you have a chance to go see him you should! Remember folks, in the early days he was right in there with MJ and Madonna, but he chose to remove himself from that picture. His post-Faith music is poetic and personal and if you listen to it, you will love it. (Plus, come on, his...

I can imagine Two Jags calling Brown a ‘Jock’

Another brilliant Eggtoon from Andy Wyatt: this time about Labour’s politics during the Blair era, in the style of South Park. I think it’s funnier than the Windsors one I posted earlier tonight, though the death of Robin Cook in the cartoon might be considered bad taste given that the man has...

always on the edge...

In a week, someone will tell me that I am officially being made redundant. A few years ago I would have completely panicked at teh sheer thought. Now I actually welcome this as the best thing to move on. We have been in the UK for just over 5 years now and while we did meet some great people it's...

By appointment

My colleague Jen Hamilton and I were browsing YouTube after working on a site for a client, and stumbled across a bit of royal humour. What if the Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburgs, I mean, the Mountbatten-Windsors, were a Simpsons-style cartoon (featuring Mohammed al-Fayed and the Rt Hon...

Toma lá

Ora hoje ouvi uma boca mais ou menos assim: "É impressão minha ou tu não vais ter tempo para fazer upload das tuas fotografias todas que tiraste em Inglaterra e em França?" E eu respondo com isto ---> Sets actualizados "Pictures of you & me". "Balloons @ Bath" "Living in Bath" "Discovering Bath"...

Reading the (hand) writing

It's an odd thing receiving mail from oneself. There's a foreign sensation to opening the mailbox and discovering a crumpled envelope or card penned to my address and written in my handwriting. In the initial moments, I'm almost always duped into believing that someone took the time out of their day...

I Cant believe it

It’s understandable that TV One in New Zealand has to cut around 13 minutes out of each Life on Mars episode to fit commercials in, but why did it have to be the Camberwick Green sequence from episode five of series two? It was the best bit! (Sam still says he comes out of a box when he gets to...
