If I had a photograph of you

Another of our famed "80s album cover" shots!

[Taken outside the venue for my sister's wedding, The Distillers - which in itself sounds like the sort of weird name some 80s band might choose]

Speaking of which...

A Flock of Seagulls - Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)

Back to the future?

Our impression of a 1980s LP cover, at Kew Gardens (in 30C heat, although you'd never guess it :-) yesterday...

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

One of our fabled "80s album cover" recreations

I thought I'd share a few of the tracks we played at our fab house-warming party at Dolores Delargo Towers last night (an eclectic mix, some might say)...

Something old:

Kylie Minogue - I Should Be So Lucky

Something new:

Ysa Ferrer - French Kiss

Something borrowed:

Hurts - Confide In Me

Something blue:

Diva Avari - Fuckin' Bitch

And we love them all!

Your Country Needs You

We hosted a party last night for the eternally tacky predecessor to Eurovision, "Your Country Needs You" - hosted by Graham Norton, and featuring a scary plastic lipped bint who won it last year and the supposedly straight Bruno, alongside those gods of tacky music Peter Waterman and Mike Stock.

And so the children began their attempts to perform a selection of Stock Aitken Waterman numbers with varying levels of ineptitude - each and every one of them about seventeen, we were treated to a sub-sub-sub-Scooch ensemble, a gang of slappers, an Amy Winehouse looky-likey, a Wimpy Bar waitress, and two cute-ish boys who had obviously passed their "auditions" in the dressing-room with flying colours...

We booed, jeered and cheered as the finalists (Esma, Alexis and Josh) performed the new song that is to be our entry in the actual Song Contest in May, That Sounds Good To Me. And the winner is...

Josh - That Sounds Good To Me
