Music:
Check out this cool new music video by Tenderhooks.....
Too numerous to mention at this point in time except to say I am not fussed on Punk, and you can leave out most Rap or C&W - some exceptions to the rule, but if you are a band who plays any of the above - please be ready for instant denial!As for my all-time favourites - you can start with...
Gorillaz
Depeche Mode
Stone Roses
David Bowie
Peter Gabriel
Pink Floyd
Naturally, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones figure in my early listening. However, check out my listening tastes by viewing my friends list. Also, I would like to state for the record that Danny Elfman is sheer brilliance! (With much thanks to fellow Elfman fan Niamh for the following pic - cheers hun! xx )
SIDENOTE: Can thoroughly recommend Margaret Urlich, Colin Hay and Crowded House for those with Aus connections!

You Should Be a Romance Novelist
You see the world as it should be, and this goes double for all matters of the heart.
You can find the romance in any situation, and you would make a talented romance story writer...
And while you may be a traditional romantic, you're just as likely to be drawn to quirky or dark love stories.
As long as it deals with infatuation, heartbreak, and soulmates - you could write it. What Type of Writer Should You Be?
Heroes:
Anyone who has tangoed with the "Big C" and has come through the other side.
Who Are You? Ooh Ooh!
Name? Lotus666
Favourite Dinosaur? T-Rex (also a band I rather like)
Favourite City? Manchester (it has a real buzz to it that I just adore)
Favourite Star Wars Film? A New Hope (nothing compares to that Batlecruiser first going over at the cinema back in 1977)
Favourite Bond? Sean Connery (though Pierce Brosnan sometimes wins out)
Elvis or The Beatles The Beatles ("Paul" girl here)
Keith Chegwin, Genius or Monkey? Don't know him too well, but would say a bit of a baboon.
Zombies or Vampires? Mmmmm, vampires! A bit of good old fashioned neck biting...
Favourite Band of All Time? Far too many to choose from and would depend on mood of the moment...
Joy Division or New Order? New Order definitely
Favourite Chocolate Bar? Crunchie or Cherry Ripe (something not available in the UK sadly)
Adam and Eve, believable? Possibly
Brian Blessed, Hero or Villain? Hero - the man is a genius (Flash Gordon RULES!)
Arsenal or Spurs? Man Utd if anything (not a footie fan really) Arsenal if I have to choose between the two listed...
Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees? Not into Baseball, but would choose Boston as it sounds nicer than New York there
U2 or Coldplay? Coldplay
Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson? Johnny Cash
Is Tom Hanks a good actor? He played Woody in Toy Story - how could he NOT be a good actor!
How old are you? Ancient
Do you believe in Aliens? I'd like to think there was intelligent lifeforms out there other than us - yes (admit it, we're not always that bright anyway)
How long IS a piece of string? How wide is the sky?
Do you Pimp your page? How crass...
King Kong, Old or New? Old school Kong thanks...
Do you offer to buy the first round? Prefer to yes, though it depends on who I'm with...
Left or Right side of the Road, which is correct? Left side - far more civilised, old bean....
What has Love got to do with it? Everything
Are we Nearly there yet? Unfortunately, this phrase still sends shivers down my spine, and not for any nice reasons either!
Peace or War? Peace man...chill out...
Bush or Clinton? Definitely not Bush, though choices now limited...can I abstain?
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

The following YouTube movie is one of the new South Park Episodes about the addictive online game of World of Warcraft (WoW for short). Although many of you do not know of it...this episode pretty much sums it all up (and totally cracked me up with the wicked accuracy of it all)...enjoy!
Once again, following on with the WoW theme...this video is a spoof on a song from "Avenue Q", the award winning Broadway musical described as an adult Sesame Street - "THE INTERNET IS FOR PORN".
The Internet is for Porn
