Random
When did you get your iPod?: I got this one as a 20th birthday present to myself
What's the most embarassing song you have on your iPod?: probably that Kula Shaker one. Or maybe all of Bran Van 3000's 1997 album, Glee.
What artist do you have the most of on your iPod?: With an astounding 259 tracks, I thought it was Half Man Half Biscuit but I have 22 Sonic Youth albums so it may be them. And I've got over a GB of Beatles, ditto Pink Floyd, so I really don't know.
Do you have any theme songs on your iPod?: Oh I've got loads. The QI one, the Screenwipe one, the Snooker one and the Peep Show one to name but a few...
Do you have any videos on your iPod?: Nah
Favorite song of all time?: Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Pink Floyd
Favorite artist of all time?: Pink Floyd
Favorite album of all time?: I struggle with trying to pick my favourite Coral album. They've only had FIVE. Unless you count the singles collection, which I DON'T. I literally couldn't choose a favourite album of all time if I wanted to. But it's probably Pink Floyd, either Wish You Were Here or Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. Or it could be Blood On The Tracks. Or Grace. Or one of several Beatles albums. See what I mean?
Your least favorite song of all time in your opinion?: There's WAY too many
Least favorite artist of all time?: Simply Red or possibly U2. And there's loads of stuff around at the moment that's just odious but nobody seems to see it
Least favorite album of all time?: Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not - Arctic Monkeys. Overrated sack of shit, for a start, and it robbed Richard Hawley of the Mercury Prize.
Favorite playlist on your iPod?: I tend to listen to albums rather than playlists
Do you like the headphones Apple gives with iPods?: The ones I got with the mp3 player are alright but the ones I got for my birthday are superbitchinawesomecool.

Gwen or No Doubt?: No Doubt
Beyonce or Destinys Child?: Destiny's Child...ahem
G-unit or D12?: blatantly G-Unit

Long live upholstery

Been a while, I know.
I'm currently basking in the palacial glory of my bedroom wondering if there's any chance my rat, Ezekiel, is pregnant.
Chances of this are thankfully slim as she lives in a cage with her two sisters (I don't know if you've ever seen rat balls but they're pretty conspicuous, we're sure our three are all female) but she is pretty darn fat considering she was the runt of the litter. And she seems to have sprouted these huge nipples out of nowhere. It's probably nothing, but time will tell.

Things I am sick of:

Aimee Anne Never-Smiles-In-Photos-Coz-She-Has-Too-Much-SOUL Duffy
My housemate being a cunt
Running out of Skittles
My own goddamn nose
Not getting anything done.

More bitchy lists coming soon.
