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.

Burn baby burn

The thing I like about Burn Notice (besides the fact that it's got THE Bruce Campbell in it), is that it's episodic and an easy watch.

Whilst there's a different ongoing story-arc every season, you can watch one episode and know that whoever Michael's client is, they'll have a happy ending and the bad guys will get punished.

In a world full of Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and The Walking Dead (all of which I love but require diligent watching), it's nice to have some light, casual entertainment.

Let's just Step back

So after all is said and done, I'm actually rooting for Steps.


Well Faye and Lee who seemed to come across the best in the documentary. They both actually seemed really likeable, even if Lee did seem to enjoy punishing H a bit too much. But hey, revenge is something I can respect.


Claire didn't seem to show enough remorse about it for my mind, and Lisa was too quick to fall back into old habits of arguing about who was singing what song. And H, well he was less annoying than he was 15 years ago.


Can't believe I've blogged about Steps twice now. Apologies to all who found this too mainstream - I'll return to esoteric musings about comic books tomorrow.

Have I mentioned the book?

In case I haven't mentioned it, I currently have a book out.


A couple of people have said that they would like to download "A Nightmare at the Movies" but can't as they don't have a Kindle...


Have no fear, the answer is at hand!


You can download a Kindle app for your iPhone/iPad/iPod touch/Android phone or you can download the Kindle Reader for your PC or Mac (all of this is free)!


Instructions for downloading to your PC or Mac can be found here.


Enjoy!

Dead Ringer

So after watching episode two of "Ringer" we've decided to give it one more before we pass final judgement.

I can't work out if the story is going to be enough to carry an entire series, let along multiple series.

So far, I'm thinking no, but we'll see.

A Game For Thrones

After my post the other day, I just wanted to point out that I do know that the corect title of Book 4 of "A Song of Ice and Fire" is "A Feast for Crows". The reason I keep caling it "A Feast of Crows", is because all of the earlier books had an of in the title:

"A Game of Thrones"
"A Clash of Kings"
"A Storm of Swords"

I just like things to follow patterns. Maybe that's just the OCD talking...

Step into the groove

I’m somewhat worried by the way that the “Step Reunion” documentary has completely sucked me in.

I was too old to be a fan when they first came out (and let’s face it, their music was pretty crap), but it’s impossible to have been alive in the late nineties and early noughties without being aware of just how massive a cultural phenomenon they were.

Well it seems that they’re still going to be singing the same old mediocre generic pop, except now there’s an added element of nostalgia to it all. Maybe they’ll even let Lee sing some lines.

All in all, I can’t say that they don’t make music like that anymore because they clearly do.

Oh and Lisa Scott Lee seems to have some weird face stuff going on now. Just saying.
