Good evening and welcome to blog number three.
There were a few thing I could write about, it's been a long weekend! I went to met my wonderful girlfriends parents, which hopefully went very well! At least I didn't get kicked out! But it was quite funny when Kristina's Dad put on the new Diana Krall album! (See previous blog for my review on that!)
But the main reason for blogging tonight is the terrible ending of Torchwood! What happened there? At this point I'll say, if you didn't see it this won't make much sense!
So where it started to go wrong: the 456 want the children for drugs. Hmm interesting, bit dark (remember this is for adult! So they can swear and show fat naked welsh men!) Anyway so then they have one of the characters (that we've been following for 5 days now), shoot himself and his family, which in hindsight was a pointless exercise! Then they realise that the best way to stop these aliens is some kind of frequency projected through a child, who will die once this has been done! Well sadly the nearest child is Jack grandson. Hmm dilemma! Surely our hero wouldn't let this happen, oh but wait he does seem to have a little think about it and then, teary eyed, give the nod to let his grandson get killed. And so the alien explodes in a big bloody mess! So the earth is saved. Jack walks away. The we skip to a 6 month later thing. Jack says his goodbyes to Gwen and the buggers off. With some piss poor excuse - "Boo hoo its all my fault, I'm gonna run away for the people who need my help!"
Nice one BBC, you clearly not going to do any more torchwood and the best way to make sure of this is to kill off most of the characters and the turn our hero in to a coward!
If you don't want to make a new series, just don't make one!!!
Right I think that covers it! I'm off to pack.
Goodo!

Quiet (and boring and the worst album i've ever heard) nights!
Good morning one and all.
This blog is slightly old news but its something I feel still need discussing. Diana Krall's latest album - Quiet nights. Before I rip this album apart you should now that generally I really like jazz vocalists, especially modern one's and there are a few of them on the scene at the moment. The two obvious artists being Madeline Peyroux and Melody Gardot and their albums are really good.
So on to the point, if these jazz artists are realising good albums, why would Diana Krall make a bad one! I just doesn't make sense! But not only did she make a bad album she has made the worst album I've ever heard!
The biggest problem with it is that is that it not the sound or the fact that she covers a bunch of old songs that have already been covered to death, but for me it's all in the vocal.
It's just so dull, it's as if someone woke Diana up at 3am and told her her puppy was dead and then told her they will keep killing puppies until she sings 14 really boring songs!
If there is anything good to be said it that "walk on by" isn't so bad, but only because it's actually the same as the original!
The sad thing is this album could have been so much better. I can believe she finish this album and said "yes, I'm happy with this, let get in on the shelves!"
NO you moron, it's clearly not finished! Why not get your husband (Elvis Costello) to help you out, even your best bud Eric Clapton to lend a hand! But no, what you did is release a piece of crap that couldn't be more beige if you tried!
thanks for reading!

11 days and i'll have to make my own lunch.
Good evening one and all.
Welcome to my very first blog, I hope you enjoy it.
So for those who don't know me already I'm an Oxford gent, born and raised, and I currently resided in the classical & specialised department of HMV. And I love it!
So on to the subject of my first blog: Moving!
Today I signed the contract for a bungalow, that I intend to live in. This will be the first time i've lived away from home. So at the moment I'm an interesting mix of excitment and worry. (How do you make food?)
Still i'll keep you all posted on the progress!
Thats all for this post! But do keep in touch and let me know what you think and hopefully there will be more next time!
Goodo!
