Jesus wasn't born on Dec 25th. He wasn't the son of God. There were no angels or miracles. It is whole sack of horseshit that has been unravelled and embellished over time. But Happy Christmas everybody! Let the good times roll.
Television has sadly ruled this special day for me. With the nightmarish Top Of The Pops Special just beating the return of Nick Cotton to Albert Sq; as a clear indicator that the mainstream public will accept any old tripe as 'entertainment'. Seems horseshit is as popular now, as it ever was. Oh, and who out there actually believes Lee Evans is funny? Jesus wept.
I was dismayed there was no Orange Unsigned Act. I missed Bo Bruce so much, that I checked out her myspace. Some retrobate called Ryan has commented '...dont stop doing what you do. Your music has the ability to do what a lot of songs can't and that is to truly move people on the inside.' I kinda agree as long as he's talking about puking all over the tv screen at her diabolically mundane music.
Although, it was good to see Wave Pictures video for 'Love You Like A Madman' on MTV2. Similarly, it was great to learn that Bob Harris (Radio 2) had played Ivan Campo's 'Lotus Eater' on his show earlier this month. Hopefully, the start of a beautiful friendship.
Unlike my own situation with Sky Movies - every time I try to watch a late night movie I have to endure a sign language guy overlayed over the top. What the fucks that about. Surely there could be some 'sign language only' channels, or do deaf folk only watch films at the exact same time I want to. No disrepect but it's fucking annoying. The suspense in horror films is just dampened a wee bit wheh you have a pale, limp dweeb in a pale blue M+S shirt waving his hands around.
