A slight change of pace for Wednesday! This is a timeless party tune which can convert the mood of any night. Not one for the grandmas as it’s a little bit explicit.

Massively influenced by Bob, Jake’s country croons are also a favourite of mine. From his debut self-titled album, Broken is a slow and velvety love song. Definitely not for the sensitive touches, as this is an extremely emotional record with Bugg’s unmistakable lyric.

The story itself is opened by the precocious nine-year-old Scout Finch, […]

The Top Gear presenter has more lives than a Siamese cat. How many more times will his slips be overlooked until BBC shows him the door once and for all?

Cheryl Cole has unleashed a new visual to accompany her latest song from her album Only Human. The song of the same title is said to be a firm fave of the Geordie Princess.

The benefits system is a hotbed for debate and anger, with the terms ‘scrounger’ and ‘fraud’ thrown around more and more. It seems we will never reach a happy medium as there will always be flaws in the scheme. A crucial aspect of our benefits regime is that it is NOT means-tested. This means, in terms […]

This is due to a number of factors, […]

The birth of a new year, for people of my age, usually raises the prospect of choosing which whirlwind festival weekend to embark on.
