Did Wordsworth have an umbrella?
Mar. 3rd, 2007 04:46 pmOh, but this weather is a tease! So sunny and Spring - but it looked that way yesterday too, shortly before I got a drenching. And already today, there was the shower timed perfectly to catch me as I went for the paper.
If you've yet to hear Israel's Eurovision entry, a demonically gleeful response to the possibility of getting nuked by Iran, then Teapacks' 'Push The Button' can be found here. I was expecting something more synthpop, for some reason, so its Gogol Bordello stylings were rather a surprise, but it's still awesome. Between this, 'Vampires Are Alive' and the Ark up to do Sweden's entry, this is the first time since Tatu that I've put the date of the final in my diary.
"There aren't any jobs for black actors in the UK", complains an article backed up with an apparently compelling list of those who have made it big in the US. Where it falls down is in not noting that the young, attractive white male lead in The Wire is also a Brit without much UK work to his name, ditto the young white male leads of Battlestar Galactica. Even Hugh Laurie has been reduced to putting on an atrocious American accent as House, because there are simply more jobs and more money for actors in America, whatever colour they may be.
