Things That Have Pleased Me During The Past Week.

NUMBER ONE
Playing Heaven 17’s “Temptation” on JJJ at two in the morning and blaring the volume in the studio to an ear-shattering level before dancing by myself on a chair like a spazz and scaring the poor Technical Services guy who drew the short straw and was stuck wandering around Southbank until sunrise answering my ridiculous and utterly pertinent questions like “WHERE’S THE FOXTEL REMOTE?”.

I also quite enjoyed it when my dad emailed me on Wednesday to tell me that my dear 85 year old grandfather had made the effort to wake up early in order to listen to Clem and yours truly when we were doing our month of JJJ Saturday night graveyards. Grandpa’s verdict? According to my dad “he didn’t like the music and couldn’t understand a thing you were saying” but he was very proud. Wow, the music sucked and so did the between-song conversation. WHAT A TELLING ASSESSMENT OF OUR MAD RADIO SKILLZ! God love him.

NUMBER TWO
This picture from the b3ta messageboards.

NUMBER THREE
Also from b3ta , this charming footage of a dog using an accordion-esque shitbag.

NUMBER FOUR
My dear housemate Born Dancin’s list (via somewhere else, but you can grab the relevant links from the blogpost) of idiotic Amazon reviews of George Orwell’s 1984. Example? “”This book isn’t as good as Harry Potter in MY opinion, and no one can refute me. ” GENIUS.

NUMBER FIVE
Via my darling busty Nads, an educational YouTube “documentary” on the crack spider.

There was more but I’m just so excited to have free internet suddenly appear in my bedroom that I simply must leave you and go exploring the interwebs before it inevitably disappears again, leaving me to weep salty tears onto my keyboard.

I like to think that I introduced you to Heaven 17's Temptation through my seminal "Katie loves Jamie" mix. If so, I'm very glad you've taken it back to the streets via our national yoof broadcaster!

Course you did, darlin'!

If there's ever a next time, I may need to belt out Dream Academy's "Together In Electric Dreams".

building webs is for SUCKAZ!

Ahh Dream Academy's big hit was "Life in a Northern Town", my little muddle head. "Together in Electric Dreams" was in fact the Human League.
