Foo Fighters, best band ever?

Maybe not, but "The Colour And The Shape" has to be one of the greatest albums of the 90s.

I've just listened to it all the way through, not one song was rubbish, that doesn't happen very often, I normally have to skip a few.

I think you resign yourself to the fact that you'll have to do that on most of the albums you buy, so when one comes along and you don't need to do any skipping, it stands out with it's awesomeness (I checked, it is a word).

Anyway, it's THE perfect album, if you haven't got it, buy it/borrow/copy/steal it*

None of their other albums are as good, the debut (self titled) is weak, with a couple of stand out tracks, "There Is Nothing Left To Loose" is a bit 'cheesy' and formulaic, "one by one" is fairly good, I suppose that's in second place, 90% of it is worth a listen, although the singles got overplayed by the UK radio stations. "In Your Honour", I didn't even bother listening to more than once.

"Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace" is released in the UK tomorrow, seeing as it's produced by Gil Norton, who worked on "The Colour And The Shape", I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations from such a great band, and from what I've heard, it will.

Dave Grohl is the man too, so that's a good enough reason to buy the new album I reckon.
























*don't steal it, stealing is wrong.

Colin McRae

The world is such a bitch sometimes, all the bad people in the world live forever, then something like this happens, and one of the better people is killed at just 39 in a tragic accident.

Not only that, but his son of five, Johnny, his friend Ben Porcelli and a friend of Colin, Graeme Duncan lost their lives.

I still can't believe it, McRae was the one man who got me interested in the WRC, when he retired, I stopped watching.

Absolutely gutted, that's 2 of British motorsport's greats in a short time, well before their time.

So, here's to you, Colin Steele McRae MBE, I, and many others, will never forget.

Colin, Johnny, Graeme and Ben, RIP.

sleeeeeeppppp

I can't.

Why can't I sleep?

It's 4:02am and I'm wide awake, that's not right.

TV is rubbish at this time of day too.

Being awake at 4:02 is lame.
