Quelle surprise, a female vocalist!

Thirty Minute Love Affair - Paloma Faith

I've always been a bit of a Macca fan. I heard this on the radio a few weeks back and liked it then. This video adds Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp.

Life progresses. Laziness abounds. I can haz gout. Which in the grand scheme of things might prove beneficial as it forces my diet down certain routes. Farewell Marmite, I'll miss you.

Here, have a video. Loving this track. Also loving other tracks by her. Looking forward to the album.

Took me a while, mostly due to forgetfulness or being poorly. Then when I did get round to it had to fix all the embeds. Stupid youtube.

Good news: the bike works. As does the bike computer effort. It tells me I managed 2.7m at an average speed of just over 10mph. And after said 15 minutes of exercise ... pooped.

Still, I guess I have to start somewhere.

So, New Year's eve I got rather drunk. Falling down drunk in fact as I managed to fall/slide down the stairs. Nothing more than bruising, though I did manage to pull one of the banister posts out. Ho hum. In addition to this I made a somewhat foolish agreement with Andy to do the Dunwich Dynamo night ride in July. That's 200km road cycle during the night.

Currently I'll be honest admit to considering reneging on the drunken promise due to it already starting to stress me out and me not wanting it to start ruling my life. However, I just booked my bike in for a service (sadly not till the 15th). I guess I need to work out between now and then whether I actually have any time for training.

This makes me wish I'd been to the cinema more often...

I'm aware some of you, for what reasons I cannot fathom, do not read Questionable Content. However, I can recommend checking out the author's^* top 10 albums of the year list. I discovered the joys of The Flaming Lips via QC and am now working through this list, which is mostly available on Spotify.

* Author? Artist? Creator?

Bugger. Had the original edit for this eaten. Anyway, here's two songs. One recent, one not so but connected by this particular oddity. They're both songs which when I first heard them I thought I had heard them before. Driven by the chorus in the main.

I can only assume I'd actually caught them on the radio or similar previously and so on hearing them when paying attention it was like a long lost remembrance.
