Recommended Band of the week is Foxboro Hot Tubs

The Foxboro Hot Tubs are an American rock n’ roll band. The group made its debut in December 2007 with three songs on their website. Soon after, the Foxboro Hot Tubs were discovered and subsequently made headlines, being heralded as the next secret side project of Green Day, which was later confirmed by the band themselves. Billie Joe Armstrong told NME magazine: “The only similarity between Green Day and Foxboro Hot Tubs is that we are the same band.” His reasons for starting the band, also told to NME magazine, were that they “love to play music and be spontaneous, and after a few late-night jams and a few too many bottles of wine, we were inspired to record some rockin’ eight-track recordings.” In a similar manner to other side project The Network, Billie Joe has adopted an alter ego for Foxboro Hot Tubs – Reverend Strychnine Twitch. “Strychnine Twitch” is also mentioned in the lyrics to the title track, Stop Drop And Roll: “Sixteen and a son of a bitch/got a gun and a strychnine twitch”.

and Finally

I have a confession to make. Until 2 weeks ago I was not an aficionado of SATC. I know, a 30-something woman who grew up when it was on and doesn’t remember really watching it.

So a while ago now I bought the DVD’s. The whole box set in a gorgeous pink suede case and there they sat waiting for me to watch them. of course I forgot to check in advance if my DVD player was multi region…and it wasn’t. So when I replaced it with a new one I made sure to check and since then I have been watching a couple of episodes a night at least to re-familiarise myself with Carrie and Co.

Funnily enough I had actually seen a lot more episodes of the early seasons than I remembered watching but I’m up to season 6 now and it’s all new territory for me…and I love it!

So, I had to do the quiz, you know the ‘Which SATC character are you’ quiz:

You are Carrie. You know what you want out of a relationship and you’re not afraid to keep moving until you get it. Wit and charm are your biggest turn-ons, and you like guys who appreciate you for your mind as much as your body. You have fun playing the dating game, but secretly you just can’t wait to find the guy who sweeps you off your feet and carries you into the sunset.

try the quiz yourself

I’d like to think it’s totally true, I’d love to be like Carrie.

So here’s the question (like she does at the end of her column at least once an episode), are you a SATC girl, and if so, do you embrace your personality or try to change it all the time?

Oh and as an aside, huge congratulations to SJP and Matthew Broderick on the announcement they are expecting twin girls through a surrogate

Useless is a state of mind

March 21, 2006: The Guitar

having just had a huge decorating/clearout at home there's not much that's useless…apart from my guitar with a missing string that i can't play

has been filled with horrors, pitfalls, happiness, love and laughter. I wouldn't change who i am now by changing what i did then

Why, for the love of Jebus, why

stinky people
in this day and age there is no excuse for bad personal hygeine. there’s no excuse for not noticing it on yourself and there is no reason to allow it to continue



have a wash and wear some anti-perspirant it’s not that hard
