Gifted Typist

Awhile ago a survey found that Nirvana’s Nevermind album was the most overrated of all time. Here is the list. It comes from BBC Radio 6. 1. Nirvana – Nevermind 2. Coldplay – X&Y 3. The Libertines – The Libertines 4. Oasis – Definitely Maybe 5. U2 – The Joshua Tree 6. Radiohead – OK [...]

… and it is Sonos. I’ve had this wireless multi-room digital music system for a couple of years now. A handset and zone player give wireless access to the music stored on your computer. You can make playlists, listen to local radio and access 300 free internet radio stations. You can also play different music [...]

It seems the Schmaltzy One has her knickers in a twist, a self-interested twist. Last week, her production company canceled her mega concert in this town, saying the venue was not appropriate for her production requirements. It was appropriate for The Rolling Stones, but not for The Schmaltzy One. Today we learn from the Schmaltzy [...]

They know their relationship is doomed because they are from opposite sides of the wall, yet they find a way to seize the moment and extract the [...]
