I’m all right jack keep your hands off of my stack

J.D. is so going to be the next singer of OB: INXS.

While MiG the most ‘theatre’ of all and not in a good way, it’s J.D. who understands the theatre of rock. Check out his performance of Pink Floyd’s ‘Money’. The guy has vision. I’m also digging the rhinestone megaphone that he uses in ‘Pretty Vegas’, the song he co-wrote with Andrew Farriss. Well, I would, wouldn’t I? His performance of ‘By my side’ was subtle and I love the voice. That hint of Elvis that everybody hates so much? It’s a good thing. Elvis doesn’t have the patent on it. It’s Scott Walker. It’s Bowie. Totally floats my boat, anyway. I’ve been humming ‘Pretty Vegas’ for the last couple of days.

MiG’s the next to go. Too feminine, too sweet, too theatre, too squeaky clean. An ill fit with the Farriss brothers. Then it’ll between Marty and J.D. And Marty? Maybe an audience favourite, but he’s just completely wrong for INXS. The grunge voice and the arrogance cum naivety in thinking he can change and lead this band, come on. His idea that INXS invented ‘dance rock’ and that he can make them compete with the new new wave bands… please. Convoluted much? Poor sod, I nearly cacked myself when he started to ‘explain’ the music business to OB:INXS.

My money’s still firmly on J.D.

Maybe Suzie can join Fleetwood Mac now she’s eliminated. That’s where she belongs.

Things I’ve done over the last couple of days.

  • Came home sick on Wednesday. Some kind of throat infection. Strep throat? Ugh.
  • Watched 23 episodes of the Sopranos. Still not sure whether I like it or not.
  • Tried to do DVD > VCD for someone. Failed. Grr.
  • Cancelled a lot of appointments. Still unsure what to do about the one I have today.
  • Was interviewed by The Guardian. Didn’t have a lot of interesting things to say (I had another, related subject on my mind and regrettably focussed on that in my answers), still got quoted. Whedonesque.com is not a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fansite. It is a community weblog about the work of writer, director Joss Whedon. Still, good job, Bobbie.
  • Felt disconnected from the sites I run, especially U2log.com.
  • Realised once again that having no new extra-curricular projects to pursue is not good for my well being. What, you thought this recent obsession with all things wireless and mobile is just a healthy interest in technology?

    Sorry, no time to get all introspective. The UPS man was at my door just now with my new Dell Axim. That’s at least 4 days sooner than expected. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
