I hate bios. Plenty of interests (music, books, tech etc) and curious about loads more but trying to keep news/political engagement here to a minimum. Profile pic by me: Pollok Park, Glasgow.

Fwiw I had the Sugababes second album, and it got nicked at a house party!
Some very interesting interviews by the way, the Sugababes record co guy was very candid. And the way Natasha and Mutya were treated is horrendous.
But it felt like they were unsure whether to make it about the behind the scenes, or a more general history of British girl bands.
I watched the ep. of the BBC Girl Bands documentary on last night, and c'mon even if Girls Aloud said no to being interviewed for the show, how do they not even get a mention? Madness. The biggest girl band of the 00s and we get some sort of narrative it was all Sugababes vs Atomic Kitten.

In Valencia, Spain, Las Fallas festival marks the arrival of spring in March. Each neighbourhood create a grotesque sculpture, a Ninot, representing bad things or people from the past year. The Ninots then get burnt, fire as a symbol of purification and renewal.

Isnโt technology wonderful? Back in the 80s, people could only listen with disgust as Frank Drebin went to the toilet with his radio mic still switched on. NOW we get the whole thing in video.
