"You're Second Best"

I forgot to write in my last blog post that tonight sees one of the most anticipated television programmes of the year.

Tonight's Question Time sees the controversial appearance of Nick Griffin on the panel and the BBC have asked for extra security at the location where the programme's being recorded.

I know it's caused controversy, and that the BBC have been accused of chasing ratings, but I just think that it's going to make great television either way seeing one of the biggest twats in the country getting laid into by the public.

Surprisingly I've woken up at a more sensible time this morning, despite staying up until about 1am listening to the Foals album.

And it's not too bad, I doubt it would go into my top 10 discs of the decade but would possibly be bubbling under in the top 20.

Most of the tracks in the first half of the album despite sounding identical all seem to blend in brilliantly, and I love the offbeat style towards the end, especially "Big Big Love (Fig.2)".

Now I know why Caz gets all excited over it, but in all fairness I very much doubt "Moving With The Shakers" would be anywhere near within her favourite albums of recent times.

It's going to be good fun putting together my favourite albums of the last 10 years and if I'm lucky, it will be done in audio form.

Foals within the Top 20 albums of the decade?! Bloody hell! I'm well pleased Robin :)

I got myself so hyped up when their album was released, that I was slightly dissappointed by it, but it is still a top notch effort.

And I'm surprised you managed to get to sleep after listening to it.. it always fills me with energy
