Quote of the Week

This week's "Quote of the Week" came from my friend Jen (who had plied me with wine and was responsible for the Singstar travesty I mentioned yesterday).

For some reason, several of us were involved in a drunken conversation that had turned to the subject of Joss Stone. Jen abruptly interupted with the following: 

"I want to take Joss Stone's face and smash it into Keira Knightley".

If that's not an amazing image for a Saturday morning, I don't know what is.  

Would the real Awesome Wez please sit down

So last weekend, after several glasses of wine, it was decided that it was Singstar time.

Now I'll set my stall out early by saying I'm a better rapper than I am a singer, and I'm frankly not a very good rapper. Yet despite this, after several drinks I seem to think I'm Freddie Mercury reincarnated. Without all the drugs and gay sex...well only on weekends.

My problem is that I sing off key (which is pretty much the problem for all bad singers, right?) Normally, if I decide to do Karaoke I can get away with it somewhat by singing loudly with confidence, almost tricking people into thinking I have a better voice than I do. However, there's no tricking Singstar. Stupid machine.

Hence my friends were treated to my William Shatner version of "Walking in Memphis". Spoken word is the way forward.
