I'm reading a book about Steve Irwin at the moment. It's by his wife, and its called 'Steve and Me'. I always liked the Crocodile Hunter, he was an entertainer, a real larger than life character. Essentially though, I saw him as a bit of a clown if I'm honest.

Halfway through this book however, I'm getting a new appreciation for him. Yeah he was funny, diving about on the dirt chasing lizards and shit and talking to them, but there was a lot more to him than that. His style was...

Boybands. It's a widely held assumption that they are all shite. Well that assumption is wrong. For the most part they are indeed shite, but there are some exceptions. Some glorious exceptions.

On the rare occasions I stray from the comfort zone of the football forum over to the gf, I'm usually horrified by some of the musical taste's being aired by the inhabitants over there. Radiohead? Coldplay? Jay-Z? I despair, I really do. You people don't deserve to have ears if that's the kind of durge you subject yourselves to.

So in an attempt to try to save some of you from a lifetime of listening to absolute shite, I'm going to use this blog as a sort of educational tool...
