There’s a World Cup on, y’know. I approve of this particular World Cup song because – among other things – it contains brass, silly moustaches, ukuleles and a kazoo.

Simple as that, really. Thought I’d give it a go – come follow me and see what I’ve found. One wry smile per day almost guaranteed.
Here’s a selection of what’s currently most played on my N900, which is listened to for at least 2 hours a day here. How representative it is of the tripe that I listen to is for you to decide.
2. Edvard Hill – Indeed I Am Very Glad To Be Back Home
4. Cliff Wedge – Go Go Yellow Screen
6. Wang Chung – Dance Hall Days (Extended 12″ Mix) [Why? It's miles worse than the 7"]
9. The Vengaboys Megamix by Nick Skitz
16. Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’
17. WVKEAF – Jump (12″ Edit) [The link is mislabelled]
I went to see the excellent Russell Howard last night trying out some new material at the Tabard Theatre. Interesting, tiny little venue with steep seating and an intimate atmosphere. No loos – use the pub downstairs – and some bizarre, ornate wallpaper.
The material was for his Russell Howard’s Good News show which’ll go out in a couple of weeks. From what I heard (and the amount of laughing I and everyone else was doing) it’ll be well worth vegging in front of it when it airs, even if it is hiding on the digital-only BBC3. Your mother wouldn’t like it.
The oft-repressed part of my brain that likes Carry On films was amused by this advert on a local phone box. I applaud the efforts of anyone assisting others to quit smoking, and doubly so when they use such a great name.
