The Brit Awards and Something for your delectation...
Thursday, 19 February 2004 21:54Hey there. Am uber-tired, but feel like I might as well post something anyway.
First off: The Brit Awards the other night were about as surprising as a Coronation Street wedding- not very. I'm very very pleased that the Darkness won three awards, even though Busted are apparently considered a better example of Breakthrough band. Snerky snerky snerk snerk. The Alicia Keys/Gwen Stefani/Missy Elliot trio was pretty bad for two reasons: Alicia was out of tune and too loud and Gwen's mike wasn't loud enough.
Mind you, the Jamie Cullum/Katie Mellua duet on Lovecats was terrible.
And onto other news. I have a song I would like you all to cast your ears upon.
The Ballad of the Pretty Little Girl (With the Red Dress On).
(Words and music both by Clare Worley. I can't describe how much I will destroy anyone dumb enough to steal any element of this song. Not that you'd want to.)
Some people have been unfortunate enough to hear this live. Do comment on it- anonymously if you like. It is a rough demo and I really don't seem able to play and sing at the same time- I can do them one at a time, but not well together. More practice, I guess, will be required.
And the people in the room next door to me have been smoking what smells to me to be marijuana for awhile now. It was bad enough when someone next door was smoking legal stuff earlier, but my head is now killing me and I object to having my room stink of someone else's fucking smoke.
Aha! Someone just started coughing really violently. Serves you right, wanky twat bastard.
Also, have downloaded some of the Coral's music. They're not bad, although I don't like everything I've heard so far. They're no Darkness, after all!
