NOW! That's What I Call A Tune! 34

First choice for this week's entry was actually The Day We Caught The Train by Ocean Colour Scene - but that selfsame track was the entry for "O" in my "A-Z of My CDs" series. So here instead is OMC with How Bizarre:

On This Day

After writing my earlier post explaining that blogging will be light over the next few days, I proceeded to schedule posts through to Sunday, leaving only Monday and Tuesday for me to sort out tonight... as such, blogging may not be so light as I led you to believe (although I still haven't written my planned peace on the SNP's referendum campaign; hopefully I'll get a chance to write this before I get back online.)

For now, though, because I don't have anything original to post, here are links to my posts from the 29 May for the last two years.

In 2010, I was celebrating the Power of Fopp whilst last year, I was being Bohemian Like You.

Enjoy!

Blogging Will Be Light

I'm moving house on Friday and lose access to Broadband for a week as of Wednesday... as a result, blogging will be light. I have, however, scheduled a number of posts and, subject to there being a lack of glitches in Blogger, these will hopefully go up OK - if not, feel free to comment but don't expect a swift response!

Sunday Sounds 46 - Eurovision 2012 Edition

Normally, I reserve Sunday Sounds for songs I like - this week's edition is, however, slightly different.

Over on Twitter, fellow blogger Stephen took me to task over my observation late last night that from what I had heard of it, Britain's Eurovision entry was (and I didn't put too fine a point on this) shit. Here is the exchange we had:

Now, Engelbert Humperdinck is an act whom I know little about. I need to be reminded of his biggest hits and find it hard to divorce him from his image as an ageing act catering to, how shall we put this, the, ah, mature lady. Anyways, this morning I have found the Eurovision track on You Tube and (as I type this) I am about to listen to it. I am trying to keep an open mind but the fact it's called "Love Will Set You Free" doesn't bode well...

Twee, Sentimental, Twaddle, Claptrap, Cliched and yes, Shit. Indeed some of the lyrics gave me the dry boak. I'm sorry, Stephen, but having listened to it in it's entirety, my opinion remains unchanged. I don't even wish to watch it again for the purposes of further analysis...

Still, you may like it - see what you think:

Simon's Cat in "Tongue Tied"

I've been meaning to post this since yesterday but life (in the form of packing for a house move) is getting in the way...

...anyway, as is my custom, here's the latest Simon's Cat video:
