High Temperatures=High Opinions!

What an amazing day it was outside.

It has had me longing for the walls on my bedroom to be replaced by larger windows so I could really apppreciate the lovely sunshine outside.

Having said that it's almost ten years to the day since I moved into this specially built bedroom in the top of the house after having to share a room with Olly for a long time, and I'm really grateful for the time and effort that was spent into building the room that has allowed me to be me.

Quite a lot has happened in here I'll give you that.

I've spent the evening listening to XStream East where Sarah presented a superb Get Up show with tracks by Calvin Harris and Peter Bjorn and John, and Stephen followed on with Grooveline and quite a lot of EWF this week.

One being a cover of "Can't Hide Love" by The Randy Watson Experience which for me is possibly the saving grace of what I'd consider to be one of the worst albums of the decade, "Interpretations: Celebrating The Music Of Earth Wind And Fire".

I'll save my opinions for a later post but
Me'shell Ndegeocello's cover of "Fantasy" is fucking appalling.
Believe me, it will make you appreciate the Black Box cover from 1990 as the version on the album is a musical crime against nature.

Something similar which may be open to opinion is this inventive rendition of the Channel 4 News theme performed by Led Bib on the programme itself and can be seen here.

They're up for nomination at tonight's Mercury Music Prize ceremony although I'm backing Florence and The Machine to win.

As long as it's not La Roux I'll be happy.

Their lead singer claims to be in the same league as Adele which is fine with me as they're both
ugly annoying c***s.
