Inga from Sweden

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 28, 2010

Oh my life, there could be a lot of Sweden-related stuff on this site over the coming weeks, and yet I’m not even definitely going to the bloody place yet – though the forthcoming service on the car (and, naturally, how much it costs) will dictate the answer.
Anyway, back on thread. Here’s “Inga from Sweden” [...]

 2009

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 1, 2009

Ah, it’s that time again…

Happy new year, dear reader. 2008 was deemed a write-off, hence the complete lack of posts over the last few weeks. I’ll write in more depth later; however, I’ve just had an accident involving a pint of Guinness and a text message…
For now, here’s a new year related song. Anyone remember [...]

 Air of December

Posted by Skytower on Mon December 1, 2008

Oh joy, it’s December.
In all honesty, i’m not that fussed. Okay, so the silly season is already well underway (what is it with people putting up their Christmas decorations already?!), and I’m already counting down the days until my favourite part of the festive season – the 2nd of January. Yip, only 32 days to [...]

 Roadshow rides, pavement rides, and pimped rides

Posted by Skytower on Tue July 15, 2008

Raaaght… so, we’re trying to get back to normal here – I think today is Tuesday, which is a good start.
Firstly, the holiday photos are still being uploaded – it’s not that I took loads, but it’s taking a bit of time to add titles to all of them, so once they’re all uploaded, then [...]

 Seven songs

Posted by Skytower on Wed June 18, 2008

Yeah, thanks!
Nah, just kidding. Anything music related gives me a chance to fill a space that might otherwise be blank. And, when it comes to doing something that’s as… well, timely as this:
“List seven songs you’re into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, [...]

 Eurotrash?

Posted by Skytower on Sat May 24, 2008

It’s been at least sixteen – possibly nearer twenty – years since last watching Eurovision. And, it has to be said, for all the criticism that it garners, on the whole it is not a bad musical showpiece. I say “on the whole”, because some of the entries (such as France and Spain) simply cannot [...]

 A&E

Posted by Skytower on Wed April 2, 2008

I know that Monday is usually the day for me to drag out something “tuneful”, but it’s Wednesday and I’m feeling it. Right?!
What am I feeling? The current Goldfrapp tune, A&E, that’s what. So, if it has passed you by, or you’re intrigued (or, if you’ve been listening to it for ages, and think “blimey, [...]

It's been a few years now since last seeing Elton John live. Actually, I make that sound like I've aleady seen him loads of times – but no, just the once. So far.
By fluke, I stumbled across a news article earlier today, advertising his three dates that have been announced on the run-up to Christmas [...]

 Rebellious revival

Posted by Skytower on Fri January 25, 2008

Already, in the last year or two, we have seen comebacks by Take That, and the Spice Girls. Boyzone have announced a forthcoming reunion tour. It could be the nineties all over again…
And then, out of the woodwork came East 17 – or E-17 as they prefer to be known these days.
Yep, Brian Harvey has [...]

 Low risk

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 24, 2008

Surely, this is a collector's item?

Yep, the meister of Double Dare, Run The Risk, and these days Bid.tv; Peter Simon did indeed once release a single. Appropriately enough, it was a cover of 1910 Fruitgum Company's "Simon Says". Inappropriately enough, it flopped.
Surely someone, somewhere has a copy of this…? Check the loft, under the floorboards, [...]

 Sober as a jugde (hic)

Posted by Skytower on Thu January 3, 2008

This post has nothing to do with the fact that I'm out on the sauce twice in the next few nights.  Subsequent posts might – particularly if they include heaps of typos – but not this one.
Nope, here's two extremes to look at. And not just facially.
Exhibit one: Yes, it's her from practically any television [...]

 Worse than Aqua?

 Plug it in

Posted by Skytower on Thu August 16, 2007

Ooh look, a fancy new Firefox plug-in.
Pity the song I’m currently listening to is a bag o’shite…

 Tape loading error

Posted by Skytower on Sat August 11, 2007

Whilst looking for “up” “front” “gems” to play later this evening (we’re talking in a clubby capacity here, naturally), this track made me double check as to whether I’d actually mistakenly downloaded a ZX Spectrum tape loading signal.
Skip to about a minute and a half into it if you can’t be arsed waiting, and see [...]
