The week that was this (last) week

Because sometimes we're just too busy to write about everything that happened this week. And sometimes we're so busy we don't even get a chance to write a couple of bullet points. Our excuse this time is mainly related to new born babies...

1. The X-Factor starts started on Saturday.
Some people will sing. Some will be good. Some will be bad (and mentally retarded). Some people will claim it's killing real music. Some people will ask what 'real' music even is. The winner will sell a lot of records. Some of the money from sales of that records will find their way into an advance for a new band. The X Factor is brilliant. Bye bye Saturday nights.

2. Some nasty youths ruined one of our popular features.
Vandals tore down our billboard outside Pak's Wig shop that we like to use to pass social commentary on the music industry's use of advertising budgets.


We think maybe they were upset at the 3OH!3 advert. They seem to like Chase & Status though.

3. Someone tried to kill Alexandra Burke
Well, her career at least. After that awful, awful, awful (awful just doesn't cut it) deodorant campaign someone saw fit to approve this as a video.



We couldn't physically watch beyond 1:04. If there's an ironic postmodern shift where Alexandra stops mid song and says "What are you trying to do here, kill my career? Let's make a real music video", and then all the exercising gays explode to be replaced with jungle animals doing a synchronised routine, let us know.

4. Robot & Pigeon's local hairdresser is where all the top US celebrities go


We've never seen Kelly Rowland or Ludacris hanging around D'Juniors, but that doesn't mean they've never been there. In fact we're sure they must have been there. Otherwise they'd never have agreed to their likenesses being used on the sign would they? Would they?

And that was everything that happened this last week.
