music pt1
there may never be a part two, but i just didn't want to leave the impression that this was all i had to say about music.
apparently there is new u2 album due out this year. and i have to say that i am not sure if i will bother buying it - at all. this is quite a big deal
seeing as i have twice queued at midnight on a sunday night to be one of the first people to own it. but "how to dismantle an atomic bomb" was shit. one or two half decent songs, but as an album it was pretty poor.
i don't want to be one of thse people who don't like u2 because they are the biggest band in the world - cos they're dicks (DMC), but i think they have released their last good album. i won't be forking out £60 to go and see them again. (when i say see them, i mean watch them on a big screen from a great distance).
the other "big" albums on my radar this year are REM and coldplay. i have heard the new REM song and it is pretty good - i like REM. i think coldplay might be doing a good album, based on the fact the first and third one was poo and their second one was great.
i suppose i should mention the brits this week.

c'mon you beardy bastard
the archbeard of canterbury has caused a bit of an uproar today by saying that we should maybe consider the views of others.
they are askng for people to text in to radio one about and they say they have got almost total opposition to this, i think mainly based on racist grounds.
i'm not sure whether the beard has got it right, but i applaud the fact that he is raising a question about someone elses's views and not just complaining about christian values not being represented in all laws and government policies.
and i applaud his beard too.
