Chart music is a market place and there is always a need for fresh faced bubblegum pop peddlars. However with A Piece of Me is see Britney trying to move beyond that. I think it deliberately strikes a discordant note. With regard to Morrissey fortunately his songs rarely troubled the upper reaches of the charts

I understand why some people dislike it but I think it is one of Britney Spears best songs

Been doing some research with a couple of CDs my daughter left laying around

Last Christmas was a double A side but most people will just think of the more popular track

At this rate Jimmy's death could be posted on here and half the people would miss it because of all the background noise

I don't think the fifties game will take long at all but I am keen for completeness sake. I will probably find the 2010s more interesting than the 2000s

Went to the RSC last night to see the opening night of Love's Labour's Lost. Fantastic production which milks the comic potential. Luke Thompson (Bridgeton) was a confident and expressive Berowne and Nathan Foad (OFMD) made the most of Costard. Only criticism was that the Princess's voice didn't really carry but she made up for it by being stunningly beautiful. Only on for five weeks. Worth catching if you are around Stratford

Graham Brady has a book coming out on 7th November which promises to be a tell all memoir about his time a chairman of the 1922 committee. He is standing down at the election and he think he will probably want to be safely beyond Westminster by then
