bothererblogB O T H E R E R B L O GEurovision, Of Course- May 25, 2008 Not watching it makes you the worst sort of pariah. There&8217;s something for everyone, so long as what you want is a cavalcade of nonsense and confusion, presented by grinning mannequins speaking a language they learned that morning, and a collection of songs from another dimension where ABBA and The Cheeky Girls bred the entirity ...http://botherer.cream.org/?p=892 Olbermann: The Next Level- May 15, 2008 Olbermann&8217;s position is interesting. Maddeningly, as soon as he gained any popularity (about two years ago) absolutely everyone stopped capping the programme for the rest of the world to see, and MSNBC&8217;s site chops it into fractured, confusing lumps. So the only way we get to see what he&8217;s doing are through his occasional Special ...http://botherer.cream.org/?p=890 The Best Thing Ever- May 15, 2008 And if the loofah reference means nothing to you, read this. (All text, but thanks to Bill O&8217;Reilly&8217;s astonishingly foul language, possibly NSFW). (I&8217;ve previously written about it here).http://botherer.cream.org/?p=889 Cloud Cult: Feel Good Ghosts- May 12, 2008 I still haven&8217;t written about Cloud Cult&8217;s new album, Feel Good Ghosts. For this there is no excuse. Graham reminded me today by linking me to this excellent Wall Street Journal article about the band, and the live painting during their performances. Feel Good Ghosts has been looped on my mp3 players, both portable and on the ...http://botherer.cream.org/?p=888 Sky Go Boom- May 9, 2008 Thunderstorms always make me want to write. Then I think I have to put in as much effort as I did that other time and don&8217;t gather the energy. However, I think that time was a special property of having been woken up at 4am, along with all of Bath. Tonight&8217;s was pretty spectacular. Pretty, and ...http://botherer.cream.org/?p=886 In Defense Of Survivor- May 9, 2008 Oh, this has been the best season of Survivor ever. I know, you don&8217;t care, you think it sucks despite never having watched it, you saw the abortive version ITV made about six years ago and think it&8217;s that, but you never really watched it but read on a website that it was shit. Well, screw ...http://botherer.cream.org/?p=885 Todays Most Important Thoughts- May 7, 2008 1) I feel really sorry for Goths on hot, sunny days, but at the same time admire their dedication to layers and sleeves. 2) I&8217;m really pleased that as an adult, I have no idea what High School Musical might be.http://botherer.cream.org/?p=884 |
