New album from one of my favourite bands Nightwish this September, I found paragraph 9 very interesting.

Trippy optical illusion makes people swear a Coke can is red. It's not. At all.
Try to make your brain NOT see the can as red.

This Coca-Cola can is not red ​

If I don't squint at the image I see black/white, when I squint it goes reddish!

I signed up for a bowling tournament in the middle of May. I'll be bowling with another newbie in the men's doubles. Here's our custom shirt!

My PC failed at quite literally the worst time. Bugger. It's going to take a while to diagnose this. Sit tight.

One Hit Wonders

I was idly perusing BBC iPlayer for TV music programmes (to play whilst working of course!) and found a one hour show of "One Hit Wonders at the BBC" so thought I would have a look/listen. I became fascinated by the artists highlighted as some were definitely not on my radar as "One Hit" anything - the BBC must have a much better radar system than me. So, here is a short list of some that surprised me in this category, starting with the less surprising:

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts: "I Love Rock'n'Roll"
Tracy Chapman: "Fast Car"
John Denver: "Annie's Song"
John Cougar Mellencamp: "Jack & Diane"
Labelle: "Lady Marmalade"
Patti Smith: "Because The Night"
Kim Carnes: "Betty Davis Eyes"
and for me the most surprising..
Don Henley: "The Boys Of Summer"

Who knew that Don Henley was a one-hit wonder!

Ok, that is definitely is simply more random than One Hit Wonders....I give in!

I dunno, listing John Denver as being a one-hit wonder is pretty random.

Ever listen to a famous artist for the first time and suddenly feel a lot better about your own songwriting? Because they suck? And should not be critically acclaimed?
