10 songs from my past.
In my usual search around YouTube I came across a song and a band from my past, one that I use to love when I was at school and much to my parents annoyance I would play loudly. So I decided that I would do one of the blogging sins and create a list of 10 songs that influenced me when I was a child/teenager (It seems a long time ago now).
Adam & The Ants - Probably one of the first bands and songs that I really liked as a child was Stand and deliver by Adam & the Ants. Im not quite sure what it was about it, perhaps the White tape across his nose or when he smashed through the window, who knows. I still on occassion listen to some of there music.

Its that time of year again when the reality TV/Pop show X-Factor rears its head once more in the UK. X-Factor is one in a long line of reality TV shows where members of the public can humiliate themselves on TV for our amusement. We have had Pop Stars, Pop Stars the Rivals, Pop Idol, Fame Academy (BBC) and X Factor, to name a few. When the show first appeared on TV I have to admit to watching it and finding the bad singers funny and occassionally you would get a singer who could actually sing.
Kate Nash is one of the new breed tell-it-like-it-is pop stars. Well thats what the review of her Glastonbury performance said. Laughable was another word they used, but lets not go there because people might think ive been eating lemons again.
detects acidity - i.e Lemons. The bitter taste is perceived by many to be unpleasant, sharp, or disagreeable, i.e. coffee and unsweetened chocolate. Okay, Science lesson over.
