Oh what a week it has been. I've been all over the country with work. I finally got my hippy hair cut, got some great new sunglasses, and took a photo of it for DazPecs in some manky hotel room in lovely Warrington (which actually was quite a nice place - only losing points for being home to Kerry "Atomic Kitten for five minutes" Katona). I think I look a bit moody but I'm pretty happy that I don't look huge :) I'm still ploughing through Everwood season four and have finally watched Gavin and Stacey season one (Nessa is bloody brilliant, i won't lie to you!). I've felt jetlagged because it never seems to be dark at night and by the time I wake up it's also light! Bring on the winter I say! I feel a bit "farrah on letterman"/"mariah breakdown on mtv" today cos of the hayfever (note: comes up as gay fever on predictive text on sms) so have sort of forgotten how to blog, and will just get the highlights of the musical week done...

OBSESSIONS:

• As everyone knows by now, The Feeling aren't as felt anymore, but they are still going ahead with Turn It Up as 3rd single and Join With Us as the 4th single. I'm still loving their work, so am very happy that a new UK tour has been announced!! HURRAH! I'm sure Ruthie and I will so be there...



• Oh god bless William of Young. I'll forgive him for being away from the world of music for so long, because he is so utterly charming and now has a delightful new single and album coming our way in September. Changes (presumably not the same comeback song that Gareth Gates snoozed his way back onto the scene with) and it's parent album Let It Go (i like the link in the title to his last album Keep It On) will no doubt be as brilliant as songs like Your Game (my favourite William song and by far favourite William video), Switch It On and Love Is A Matter of Distance. As much as I like David Jordan's album, I am ready for William to reclaim his rightful throne as king of funky jazz-pop.



• Same Difference are amping up the anticipation for the forthcoming single and album, by teaming up with delicious sweet makers Haribo to promote a competition to become a Haribo employee for a day. It's like they are the teen Suralan from the Apprentice. BRING ON THE MUSIC!!!!!
  
  


• I'm confused. I neglected poor Deborah Gibson a bit while she was doing her broadway concert in classy Atlantic City, mainly cos, well I wasn't there. And there has been a dearth of new music from her recently. But then this rather weird promo shows up on youtube, and i'm pretty sure that La Gibz is behind the drag queen-esque make up. It's all very intruiging. What's going on?!
