One Week Delta Embargo From Today
I… I can’t talk about Delta any more. It’s too much for me, God knows what it’s like for you. When I close my eyes, all I can see is Brian McFadden’s greasy Irish mophead turned towards Delta’s own Nondescript Northern NSW RSL Glamorous Saturday Night Bistro Singer Circa 1986 hairstyle-owning noggin, gazing lovingly (and yet sombrely, cos it’s a sad song) into her eyes on stage.
In the middle of the night, when all is silent and still and peaceful, I hear Delta’s achingly sincere whispered lyric from Almost Here ringing through my head. You know - the reverent and hushed “And when I’m wii-ii-ii-th yo-ooo-ou, you’re aaaalmoooost here… and I knoooow that’s (voice cracks from sheer weighty emotion of it all) noddeeeen-uff…
People say “How are you, Jess?” at parties and I reply by talking about Delta’s management dragging her down! Shop assistants give me change and I ask them whether they think the Brian McFadden relationship will last! I mock it, but clearly the publicity overdrive has worked - I can’t stop thinking or talking about Delta Goodrem.
I thrive on crap, and Lord knows I live for celebrities being shameless and desperately trying to grab attention, affection and limelight in the press - generally. But I feel so weary now. Daily Delta in the Daily Telegraph for the last few weeks has done my head in, and I’m left with no choice but to Craig David myself out of this mess. That’s right, I’m walking away - from the troubles in my life. I’m going to find a better (Delta-less) day.
But before I do, just know that something happened, and they’re happy and it means Almost Here will be played EVEN MORE on the radio. May God have mercy on our souls.

Sorry bout the delayed response - ausculture stopped working at… well, work. I felt so lonely!
Yes, still on tomorrow. What should we talk about, kids?

How much the OC sucks? The telltale signs of scriptwriting desperation on shows one minute away from implosion? How Prince William fell off his horse the other day and this was deemed newsworthy? How Australia needs to have a new referendum making the Danish monarch the Australian head of state?

“How much the OC sucks?”
Blasphemer!
While I still enjoy it, I will concede it occasionally misses the high points Season One set for the show. Nonetheless, it’s infinitely better than half the crap on the telly and I still heart it!

Hah!
Well, in that case, I won’t post here how I was just listening to ‘Miscommunication’ and marvelling at the lyrics. Does she really say ‘What’s the future, new computer?’ Please tell me this is another of my infamously misheard song lyrics.

Half right:
(When we are) Transatlantic (he knows it) drives me frantic (so I ask myself) what’s the future (why get a) new computer?
Brilliant. Simply Brilliant lyrics.

Keep the Phil Cebrano Coverage Coming
Good work on the wireless Jess. I particularly liked the Phil Cebrano coverage. I hadn’t realised that he’d made an X-Factor appearance (and not as a contestant!). And here was I thinking I’d have to rent Dust off the Wings to se him back on the box.

I don’t much care for this embargo…. simply because I enjoy taking the piss (or others taking the piss) out of people who make me mad.

Ok, so what are we going to talk about? :)
