Paul's tip of the Week - Late for work? Make sure you're handsome enough to get away with it by winking and being a bit cheeky.

You know that thing people have been doing, where they talk about the first twenty songs that their iPod plays on shuffle?

I'm too fucking lazy, so I'm just going to do the first three:

Guernica - Brand New

Isn't that the name of a Picasso painting? One that he painted in protested at the bombing of a town by the facist forces? I dunno, I'm dead thick me. Honest.

I'm not really sure why I like Brand New. I just have this real taste for trashy american alt pop angst. I am not ashamed.

Motel Of the White Locust - Glassjaw

Yay! Shouting! Songs about Unfaithful women! Guitairs shrieking like tearing metal! The word "Whore" Slurred in quite a provocative manner.

I like Glassjaw, for lots of reasons, they're a quality outfit. But Daryl Palumbo's voice irritates me. especially when he does that weird slurring/moaning thing with his voice. Mostly because it's really sexy, and that makes me feel weird.

Also, I've been practising it, and I'm pretty fucking good at it now, but have no real chance to use it in conversation. People might think I was having a stroke or something.

It Was A Good Day - Ice Cube

Yay, hip hop. Awesome, I was worried that they're might not be any representation in this list. Ice Cube was one of the first acts i really got interested in. My tastes have matured and grown more sophisticated since then, But Ice Cube will always hold a special appeal for me. I think it's the musical equivalent of the first girlfriend you ever had.

Sure, you've been out with prettier girls since then, smarter ones too, but if you ever run into her, you'd be able to look back on the time you spent together and smile. Because she's dirty.
