A quick snippet of a track from the brilliant Avenue Q, which describes pretty well how I feel about job hunting at the moment…
On a related note, the West End production of Avenue Q closes at the end of March. If you haven’t seen it, go now. If you have seen it, go again – I’m fairly certain I’m going to…

Rules: 1. Put your iPod, iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc. on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer, hit skip if you get the same artist. 3. You must write down that song name, no matter how silly it sounds. 4. Have fun!

Having just got Mika out of my head, I’ve now got Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Nnow” stuck in there.
Cadbury’s: I love you, you know I do, but if you must continue to produce those awesome adverts with annoyingly addictive music, I may have to end it. Don’t push me.

I love Last.fm. It rocks.
For those of you who don’t know, it works as a plugin to iTunes or Windows Media Player or whatever, and keeps a record of the tracks you play. It then generates a profile for you with details of your favourite artists, albums, tracks, and so on.
But even better, it offers a “Personal Radio” feature, which takes tracks from your profile and creates a stream of your favourites and other recommended choons. Which is rather cool.
But I’m intrigued by something I’ve just spotted: have a look at the details of my top tracks listened to last week. Generally, it looks about right. But then looking down the list, there are some tracks that not only do I not own, I’ve never even heard. Jessica Simpson? I think not. Three Dog Night? Well, actually, I’ve just downloaded them… but I’d never (consciously) heard any of their music until today. The Spice Girls? Give me some credit.
So where are these phantom tracks coming from? Bit of a mystery, that.
