Florence: "Then You'd Go Fishing In The Towel Lake" 3:03pm on 17 Jul 2009 "And there's a song that he plays on his walkman, and I remember thinking that was the best song ever when I was a kid. If anyone can remember what that song is, please tell me...."

It was probably Land of a Thousand Dances? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_a_Thousand_Dances

The Saturdays - 'Work' 10:08pm on 25 Jun 2009 I find that Vanessa's warbling (sorry, melismatic vocal runs), much as with Melody in the PCD (e.g. Buttons), just doesn't seem to fit with the song, whether it's accompaniment or descant. That might just be me. Totally agree about the auto-tuning.

I also kept thinking of the Umbrella video, what with the sparks and water on the floor. And are the back of their heads particularly itchy, or something?
Freemasons ft. Sophie Ellis Bextor - Heartbreak (Make Me A Dancer) 5:23pm on 19 Jun 2009 The beginning sounds to my ear a lot like the Freemasons' cover of Uninvited featuring Bailey Tzuke - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8ydHhuCH_0 - that's a good thing :)
Brands, series, categories and tracklists on the new BBC Programmes 10:46pm on 19 Apr 2009 /programmes is a fantastic concept and it's great to see new things being added. Sometimes the content can be a bit frustrating, though - e.g. compare the page for all 2009 episodes of Radio 4's Beyond Belief: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006s6p6/episodes/2009 with the old site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/programmes/beyond_belief/ - the old site is actually useful, regardless of the fact I can't get RDF out of it. :-)
New mobile homepage launched 6:22pm on 03 Apr 2009 "While it's a vast improvement on the current offering" - it seems quite a bit slower here :( I'm going to change my bookmark from the BBC front page to the BBC News front page, sadly. And regarding comment 2 from HighburyGhost, I like the fact the list of stories is just a list - I'm on my mobile, it's quick to load, I can read everything quickly and pick which I want more details on.
Taylor Swift - 'Love Story' 5:30pm on 01 Mar 2009 Your video link is to the original banjo version, not the one I've been hearing, which is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdM8vCWQvkw - I think I prefer the banjo-less one :)
Honest politician 6:47pm on 09 Jun 2008 You can read the Moving Scotland Forward debate mentioned in the article on TheyWorkForYou at http://www.theyworkforyou.com/sp/?id=2008-05-29.9177.0
