 Happy Chocolate Jesus Bunny Eggs Day everyone! I've always kind of liked Easter, actually. Mostly because I was a chocolate fiend as a kid, I suppose, and in fact to a large extent I still am one. My parents were always pretty sparing with chocolate (and fizzy drinks, and sugary breakfast cereals) so it was left, as it so often it, to my grandparents to fill with stuff which was bad for us, and which we absolutely fucking loved. I suppose my parents always took the attitude that a/ living in Austria and then Singapore we didn't see [...]

Bob Dylan may have been a poet, a 60s troubadour who influenced rock music for the next three decades, but he sure couldn't sing. He also may have unknowingly inspired many bad singers to believe that they could do the same thing as long as they had three chords and the truth.

It debuted at Number 1, hopscotching over releases by the likes of the Hoosiers , the Saturdays , Isobel [...]

TOM WAITS:   Every moment of this is pure brilliance. Thomas Alan Waits born December 7, 1949.  He started his career in the early 1970s as a singer in spit ‘n’ sawdust bars and was deeply influenced by the beat generation (poets like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William S.

Or as I like [...]
