Sausages and eggs, and hot and sour soup

I shall shortly be hopping on the motorway, as this weekend I shall be titting about in Tideswell with Boojum, my occasional rapper team. We're heading north to be guests of Boggarts Breakfast.

People ask me sometimes what exactly I get up to when I go away on these mysterious "dancing weekends". The answer "dancing" never seems to be what they're after.

Anyway, Boggarts Breakfast are terribly organised, and have published an itinerary of what we can expect for our trouble and the twenty quid we paid them. I've just read it... it looks bloody marvellous, if a little atypical.

In fact, there seems to be very little dancing, and fantastic amounts of eating. Brilliant!

I'm a free man!

( Another one for the daily WTF... )

I'm too sexy for this song

On Fridays this year we ask...

( What's in the Box? )

Today in The Box we have:

Right Said Fred - Up

In the last few weeks, The Box has been veering into credibility. Having lulled you all into a false sense of security, I thought I'd better remind everyone that it's not all country legends and outdated indie cool.

Oh no.

However, I'm going to stand by Right Said Fred. Their songs are a bit silly, and were never going to be Mercury-nominated or fêted in serious music publications. But by its lights this is a good album. It's trivial pop, a bit of light fun and full of catchy choruses.

Yes, I do still feel slightly ashamed for saying that :)

I'm not sure that Right Said Fred would be good unto the second and third albunms, though Wikipedia tells me they've had another five. And are big in Germany.

Right Said Fred - Love For All Seasons [link expired]

[Poll #1262808]

It amuses me that Amazon bundles Up with Ace of Bass :)

Wikipedia also tells me that there's a Heavenly Records covers album which features St. Etienne singing I'm Too Sexy. Anyone got a copy !?
