Watching this?

It’s cool.

HBO is really pushing the limits of taste.

Again. (See Eastbound and down.)

On two occasions in the last two episodes – the first watching Jason Stackhouse, the main protagonist’s brother masturbating so hard that the blisters on his palms are bigger than the hands they grew on AND his poor member is engorged to the point of elephantiasis, requiring a blood withdrawal of epic proportions; and the second when the aforementioned star Sookie Stackhouse indulges in a spot of self indulgence as she dreams of her desired vampire lover “taking her” – my youngest daughter had to politely remove herself from the room.

But, the fact remains, it’s a great piece of TV, wonderfully shot (the outside scenes of houses at night have an otherworldliness about them that is unique) and the script crackles and fizzes throughout.

It’s purty sexy too y’all.

I’m going to be performing this on December the 19th at the Forth Adults Theatre Show (if I can pluck up the courage).  It’s my song of the year and actually really suits the barely passable singing voice I have (Second Tenor/Baritone).

Sorry about the recording.  It does the song little justice.

Somewhat anoracky, I know…

Gordon Brown spells a poor mother’s son’s name wrongly and all hell breaks loose.

Jeana was firmly on the mother’s side, but then, if one in ten people spell her name correctly I’d be surprised.

Me?  I think he deserves a break, after all he did take the trouble to write personally to her and not put it through the civil servant machine.

Frankly, it’s hard to tell if it was misspelt or otherwise.  Looks to me like he wrote…

The Belgians are freaks.

Only they would have a competition like this.

The winner was the dug (holder).

This little baby is really quite hot.

If you have a Mac.  You want it.  You need it.

Get it.

Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone is one of Radio’s treasures and tonight he played this unbelievable Radio Musical by Sparks.

Words cannot describe how extraordinary an event this was.  Sparks are weirder than weird.  Perfect for the Freakzone.  But their music is utterly beguiling and this ‘opera’ is a new creative high for them.

Transfixing.  Check it out on BBC iplayer.

Arise Sir Stuart.
