Black Shadow- I Don’t Wanna Grow Up
My 11 year old son’s band Black Shadow recorded this version of the Tom Waits number at the domestic studio of a local music producer. My son was on lead guitar and vocals, Rogan was on rhythm guitar, Kieran on bass and Luke on drums.
They’ll be performing the song at their primary school’s annual Battle of the Bands contest on Tuesday. Victory is assured.
The current issue of Dad Rock rag Q has a list of what it rates as the 20 best duets of all time. The magazine has decreed that Some Velvet Morning by Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra is the greatest duet ever. The magazine may well be right.

“We wrote [Gobbledigook] on the night of the Eurovision song contest. We were in a rented farmhouse, it was a long evening, we watched the whole contest, and afterwards our brains were so fried we had to write Gobbledigook.”
Jonsí Birgisson of Sigur Rós
Andre 3000 takes the Marmite challenge. Unlike many previous participants, he remembers to spread it quite thinly. However, he still ends up putting on a bit too much for a first tasting.
I am very happy to add this to the Marmite Channel.

How God rewards a female suicide bomber
As you probably know, a male Muslim suicide bomber can expect to shag his way through 72 virgins once he reaches paradise. The reward for a female suicide bomber is less well known. It turns out that a female suicide bomber is rewarded by having sex with her husband for eternity, a poor deal on the face of it. By way of compensation, the female martyr will look beautiful in paradise, even if she was a bit of a minger on earth.
