Duplicity!

Hello folks - been on my travels and sorry for the silence. Good to see it only took 10 days for it to be spotted I was missing!

Housekeeping:

1. You are right Glen I do work too hard. Glad someone notices.

2. I did not know I had joined spotify. This is interesting news.

3. Adam has broken big Brooooce news, the Boss is playing Rock In Rio next Sept. Who fancies a GIO Blog trip?

Never mind your chance is tonight to confess yet again with your songs about cheatin' hearts and two-timers!

I vote for the following track:

Bruce Springsteen - Brilliant Disgusie

Friday 12 October 2012

Sad Song

It's going to be a bit of an Emotional Yo-Yo tonight as we ask you to explore your feelings and emotions. Songs that sing of happiness or those that are just plain down in the dumps, excited, delighted, joyful or sad - step onto the Get it On Emotional Rollercoaster and hold on tight.

Sad Song by Lou Reed is unlikely to get a play.

Thursday 30 August 2012

Poundland

What would you download with the £1 my tory chums have ensured that you are better of with.

Of course you could take that £1 to paolo and place it on the likely SPL Champions this season and with the return have £1.02 to squander.....

Or buy 25 penny chews....

Wednesday 29 August 2012

Ouch.

For clarity the colours of the olympic rings are:
