The Hours - See The Light Clip Starring Sienna Miller

This is the dramatic and disturbing new video from British band The Hours starring the very talented Sienna Miller portraying a mental hospital patient in the unrelenting grip of a breakdown. Seemingly trapped in a designer store before escaping and moving barefoot and frightened through the streets before gut wrenchingly stating in therapy, "Death feels like the safest place for me right now."

I thought it might be fun to make a number one hit list for the past thirty years for each week. If people show interest it will become a regular feature. If you want me to go back further just tel me how far but I can only go back as far as charts were made! Or give me a date and I'll let you know the songs for Australia, UK and the US.

Most disgusting headline ever. Making fun of Travis Barker.

In a case of the poorest taste shown in "journalism", and I use the word loosely here, the New York Post posted the following headline in an article about Travis Barker, the Blink 182 drummer critically injured in a plane crash on 20 September.

Sarah Palin - Barracuda has Heart Problems

It seems the use of the song "Barracuda" that has been used by the Republican Campaign has pissed off the song's writers' Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart. On Thursday afternoon, the band, Heart, emailed out a statement regarding vice-presidential candidate Sarah "Barracuda" Palin's use of their song at the Republican National Convention.

Following Republican Vice Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin’s introduction to the world, some have taken to calling her Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, which apparently presented an opportunity that the McCain/Palin Campaign could not pass up. Palin's nickname in high school was "Sarah Barracuda" which seems an odd nickname for someone who won the "Miss Congeniality" award

Hendrix in sex scandal 38 years after his death?!

US porn company, Vivid Entertainment, is reportedly releasing a 40-year-old amateur sex video that allegedly stars legendary musician Jimi Hendrix and two women. The LA based company and largest adult film producer stated that it obtained the tape from a collector. Although they say the tape has been authenticated, by an ex-lover and the notorious Cynthia ‘Plaster Caster’ (who is famous for making plaster molds of the appendages of many famous rock stars including Hendrix), the authenticity has already been disputed by a former girlfriend and a number of collectors and historians.

According to the NY Times, Kathy Etchingham, who was a steady girlfriend of Hendrix, has checked out stills taken from the film and said that the features of the man in the footage do not match. According to her the face and nose of the man are broader than those of Hendrix

Metallica - Backflip on internet downloads?

In a very surprising twist in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica indirectly suggested that they are possibly looking at offering their fans low cost or free downloads of their music.

Ulrich stated, “We're looking at how we can embrace everything. We want to be as free players as possible. We've been observing Radiohead and Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails) and in 27 years or however long it takes for the next record, we'll be looking forward to everything in terms of possibilities with the internet

A Sunny 1968 Degrees Out

I love capitalisation. It's a fantastic thing. It Should Happen More Often. Makes things neat and clean. However, I do have a pet hate. The words Supa Centa stricks such annoyance in my poor, poor veins as to cause serious heart issues. Get it right - Super Centre - it really isn't difficult, this English language of ours.
