Tonight is ...
... The greatest night of them all - LOGIES NIGHT!
Expect a full report tomorrow, where we will delight in Delta's triumphant win, and tear awful Eddie Maguire to shreds for destroying TV's night of nights.

Maroooooooooooooooooon

Last night I went to see my-new-favourite-band (as opposed to all-time-favourite-band, or even favourite-band, which, let's face it, could cover Duran Duran, Bros, Crowded House or New Kids On The Block, depending on the day) Maroon 5.
They were awesome. I wanted them to do "This Love" 8 million times, but they only did it once, damn them. But they did do the rather ace "She Will Be Loved" and, as an encore, "Must Get Out". Plus, Ryan the drummer did "Highway To Hell" by AC/DC (I prefer "You Shook Me All Night Long", but, whatever).
It's weird, but I have to admit that I am not much of a fan of "Harder To Breathe", but after they sang that I was singing it all night. Even though it's kinda lame, unlike all of their other songs.
Wow, I am soooo articulate today.
Anyway, while I'm here, what's up with starting a show at 11pm? I'm like, sure, it's all hip'n'cool'n'whatnot, but some people need sleep on school nights, and more importantly, some people don't like standing up for hours to secure a good position behind the mixing desk just to have to listen to the support band for hours (whom, while not awful, were not Maroon 5).
I mean, not that it wasn't worth it. I mean, Adam's daggy dancing was hilariously ace. If you believe it, it works. That's what I say.
Fun fact: Tha Maroons used to be called Kara's Flowers (when there were just 4 of them) and they released the album "The Fourth World". But then they left their old record company, added James Valentine the guitarist (not the fun former member of The Models and host of The Afternoon Show) changed their sound and name and ... viola!

Izzy DIE!
Okay, it was just an hilarious heading (which only really works if you're familiar with the work of the incomparable Izzie Dye), I don't really want any harm to come to TV's Natalie Basingthwaite.
Though, I must say, as Neighbours' current alleged vixen, she is a little lacking. Unlike previous holders of the title, such as Kimberley Davies as Annalise Hartman and Nicola Charles' Sarah Beaumont, Izzy is just kinda mean, and not really sexy enough. Sorry.
I mean, when I first heard she was joining the show I thought it was awesome, having seen her in the stage show of Footloose, with the tragically ungifted Spencer McClaren trying very hard to sing ... and failing. She was fun, she seemed hot ... I mean, my seats weren't the best ... but when she turned up in Ramsay Street, I was a bit, "Oh".
But I think she's picking up. I have been liking her more of late. She just has to steer clear of Gus and Karl ... and hook up with Jack more.
Now, here's a fun pic of her with Kelly "Jo Jo off E Street" Abbey, rehearsing for Footloose.

"... and streeeetch..."

Bros update
"The Best Of Bros" is one of the bestest albums EVER in the ENTIRE WORLD.
However, the booklet doesn't have a single shot, nor even a mention, of poor Craig Logan. It's like he never even exsisted people!
And rather than any fun liner notes of any sort, there is instead an order form for Matt Goss (or "emmgie" as he rather oddly seems to insist on being called) merchandise.

MIA: Luke and Matt Goss ... and poor Craig Logan

Urr-shurr got tha voice that make tha booties go ...

I have become quite obsessed with Usher of late. It may have something to do with the fact that he is ace.
Ican't defend his cheating on Chili (even if I do think she's manish). I can't deny allegations he is a bit boring. But I can tell you his music is awesome and he's a dancing machine.
If "Yeah" wasn't already the bestest song of the year, then you have to track down my top almost-unheard-of Usher gems:
1) "She's Got The Part" - Hmmm, and which part does he mean? Best line ever: She moves that ass like maracas/The way she's shaking her ta-tas
2) "U R The One" - Pre-dates Limp Bizkit for spooky computer voice spelling out words. In this case? "U-S-H-E-R". But of course.
3) "Call Me A Mack" - His debut single when he was known as Usher Raymond - a surname, how retro! Plus, his voice is all not-very-broken.
4) "Nice and Slow" - Okay, so you might know this song a little bit - if only because of stupid Idol Levi. Still, he has good taste. It's all about the opening line, It's seven o'clock/on the dot/I'm in my drop top. Genius!
5) "You Make Me Wanna" - So my list ended with songs that are kind of famous. Sue me. This so is awesome.

Bold! Ugly!: The new Forrester arrives

We have been counting down the days, but finally it has happened; a new Thomas Forrester. Finally we can get rid of the kiddie and have one who talks and stuff ... but, wait, what's this? He's a moron!
Never mind, we still have Taylor's returned ghost and Jackie and Deacon getting it on to look forward to.

Bros!

Y'all know I love Bros, and I am SO happy that they finally have a Best Of, even if it's only out in the UK. It has ALL of their singles on it, plus "Life's A Heartbeat", which is the bestest ever b-side ever!
