Hmm… I’m still in a
Hmm... I'm still in a very bizarre mood. And having very bizarre dreams. I dug out my queer as folk dvds last night as I thought I'd take a break from Angel & indulge myself in the world of Stuart & Vince! I love that series and vince... bless him!!! I'm considering purrr-chasing the USA series dvds as well. Anyone know if they are any good??
So strange mood please abate because you're driving me made! I'm hoping this next week will bring me out of it though as lots of my friends from uni are coming up north so it should be good :-)

Aha got it. I’m going
Aha got it. I'm going to sound mad but the first line kinda sounds like the melody to the beatles - Get back. it does. im not mad
Ooh just got the new
Ooh just got the new Girls Aloud single No good advice . Very very interesting. Not quite sure what I think yet. The beginning sounds like another track can't think what though. You can download it from mp3 finder. Its quite agressive & rebellious! Cool

Hmmm. I worked tonight because
Hmmm. I worked tonight because I'm fed up of being stuck in alone bored out of my head. All of my mates back home have blokes ... I don't have a single 'single' one. It sucks. So instead of be bored when I get "no he won't let me" replies off them I called in a favour with some family friends and got a bar job. I've never worked at a club before only a pub. So starting out at the UK's biggest club was quite a step!! Twas fun. Time went very quickly (yay). I made £9.30 in tips (yay) and I get paid quite a good wage.
Only thing was I spied one of my ex's. Somehow it made me feel like I was beneath him .. I was working while he was clubbing. Even though I know thats not the case. Also, hmm I dunno, out of my 3 boyfriendish people over the years (god i'm so emotionally repressed... and im not a dog .. im just er choosy (& prim)), he was the one that was the most 'normal'. The other 2 .. one was a psychopath and the other just screwed me about for ages... but this one was just a normal guy, my age, nice etc... and I wasn't that arsed about him. We saw each other when we were home from uni but we'rent all hung up about each other etc... But i dunno seeing him tonight kinda made me think I miss coming home & seeing him.. I just miss having that.
Ah well never mind.. one day my prince charming will come along I suppose... until then maybe I should buy something from the below link ;)

Conference fun I’ve got
Conference fun
I've got 2 conferences lined up in the next few weeks which should all be good fun.. well one more than the other. Warwick is *very* big on conferences. In fact ask any student and they will tell you that the educational part of the university seems very secondary to it. All the university care about is making the lawns tidy, flowers pretty and putting up different sets of flags every two weeks. I mean really, who would be so silly to consider that buying new books for the library would be more important. Pssf, us students think about such trivial things. (not that I have taken a book out of the library in about 2 years.. but still!!!) They also love to kick people out of their campus rooms within hours of term finishing to get them ready for the conferences and all the sweaty conference sex! (as opposed to sweaty student sex). Thankfully (well in some senses) I lived in the direst set of halls on campus, so dire that they didn't put anyone in them in the holidays. I mean really, imagine coming back to your room and thinking 2 strangers may have been upto all sorts in your bed the night before. Hmm well actually I suppose hotels... ick I've never thought of it like that before!!! Woe betides my pure mind
But anyway.
Conference numero uno: NUS National Conference - Blackpool - March 30th - 2nd April. I'm one of 11 elected delegates from uni & its helpfully being held in my home town. But I'm still going to get put up in a hotel & fed lots which is nice!! And its going to be v. wicked because I'm very good friends with 5 of the other delegates and know all the others so yay! I'm looking forward to having them up here, and of course spending many long days discussing all student politicy things.... :-)
and
numero duo : SRA Spring Conference - The national student radio associations main conference of the year takes place in Nottingham between the 10th and 12th of April. Despite having been involved in student radio for 3 years, I have never got round to going. But this year it should be good. There are 8 of us going so far and I'm waiting to hear on others. Problem though as to where we are going to stay as the suggested accomodation is a tad expensive. If anyone knows Nottingham well and knows of cheap accom give me a shout!

Thought I would give a
Thought I would give a quick plug to Audioscrobbler.
From the site:
Audioscrobbler started life as a Computer Science degree project by Richard Jones (better known as RJ) at the Univeristy of Southampton in the UK. The Audioscrobbler Project is an ongoing exploration into Social Information Filtering, music being the "Problem Domain".
Basically you download a winamp plugin which feeds back to Audioscrobbler what you are listening to. It builds stats of your favourite artists, songs etc... and then when its collated 500 tracks you have listened to, suggests tracks/bands that you don't have and that it thinks you would enjoy. Pretty funky. Roll on my 500nth song!!

Coincidences Shocking. Russ B
Coincidences Shocking. Russ B has updated his blog two days in a row (see sidebar). That in itself is pretty shocking. But no he mentions Supersister, a girl group which holds a "special" place in the heart of all RaW hacks. And ooh what does Winamp at that particular moment in time, out of 3523 tracks decide to play... you got it ... Supersister - Coffee.

Cheese on trial: Are
Cheese on trial: Are Flip & Fill the most evil men in dance?
Not only does the April edition of Mixmag contain the best cover headline ever (see above), along with the intro Forget Sadamm & Osama. Meet the most dangerous men in the world , this months cover cd is just funny as fcuk. Its called Porn House Mix [God knows what this is going to do for me on google], and is really not something to put on loud with your parents in the house as it opens with the words [OVER 18s ONLY HIGHLIGHT TO READ] You know what my favourite fantasy is. I love two hard cocks. One fucking me and I like to suck one off while the other is fucking me. And today I have 2 of my favourite friends coming over and they are gonna be eating my pussy and I'm going to be sucking me off. MMM I can hardly wait its gonna be good. Hmm I'm not sure I should really put that here but its v. amusing over a dance track.
So in conclusion you MUST buy this months mixmag... if only for comedy value :-)

This week’s Notable New
This week's Notable New Releases
Albums
Boyzone: Love Songs The Ballad Collection : Ew. Why o why? I have never ever liked Boyzone and they were at their peak during my teenage years. But no o no - the precursor to Westlife, they did the same old only love song endevour. I can only think of 2 BZ songs that weren't ballads (Going gets tough, Picture of you) so why not just a Greatest Hits. And still, I really can't see it doing well. Surely all the fans have grown up by now. Prediction: Top 20. (now watch it go to no1)
Dannii Minogue - Neon Nights : I've always been a fan of Dannii since the fantastic All I wanna Do back in 1997. With her popularity rising over the last year through the fantastic Who do you love now, Put the Needle on it & I begin to Wonder tracks, I expect this album to be electro-pop dance. Much is being made of the fact that there is a track Vibe on all about vibrators!! I have only heard a couple of tracks so far but hope to be hearing more today so I shall update when I can. Prediction : No 7. [I also recommend listening to the Cicada Vocal Mix of Put the needle on it.]
Singles
Its always puts a downer on the day to wake up on a Monday and find that Gareth Gates is number one. Yes it may be for charity and yes he may be taking the p*** of himself a little in the video and it is all quite amusing but is still bloody Gareth doing another bloody cover. Where has Will gone recently??
So, ok, Singles... is there anything that can knock this pesky teenager off the topspot this week?
Linken Park - Somewhere I belong : LPark hold the 'prestigous' honour of holding a space in my top 3 songs ever. Not sure which of those 3 places I haven't quite figured it out yet, but In the End is just such a fantastic, moving song that it gets me everytime. For any Buffy fans out there, there is a fab Spikecentric music video using this track which you can download here . But anyway back to the track in question. I heard it last night for the first time, and wasn't overly impressed. Nothing good, but nothing bad either. Top 20? I dunno how big their fanbase is.
Misteeq - Scandelous . Popjustice LOVE this song. Mainly because it involves sirens.. lol. The Misteeq girls are back in full flow, with this the first track of their new album Eye Candy which is out on the 31st March. I preferred the stuff of their last album to this particular track, but am looking forward to the album.
Blue - You make me wanna . Aha my favourite boy band. You make me wanna is the 3rd release of their second album. I wouldn't have personally picked this one from the album ... I hope they release Supersexually cos it uses the fantastic piano bit off a Dr Dre track. This one is a lot more mellow & usa groove (i think) than the rest of their released singles. But it should do well.. prob about no 5? Mmm Duncan!
Simply Red - Sunrise . Yes you all think I'm a middle aged lady. Well I'm not but I don't care. I love Simply Red to bits. Thislatest track has got pure summertime vibe going on, featuring a sample from Hall & Oates. Hucknell looks a tad scary in the video, but their are plenty of semi-naked women in it to grab the attention of most of you! This is just going to be the perfect track to cruise about to with the sun shining this holiday. Here's hoping it does well... no 6?
Richard X vs Liberty X - Being Nobody : A slice of urban pop bootlegging from the guy behind Freak like me and the most successful losers ever! This mixes Human League - Being Boiled with chaka Khan - Ain't nobody, although I can't really hear anything but the Ain't Nobody part. I like this track, its just not very exciting... a bit static really. And as Natalie commented I just can't watch her in that afro its too funny! Top 3.
EEEsh@no1. And :( at no 39. Top disco track I mentioned a few weeks ago. Could have gone higher if it had been worked with.

I’ve been somewhat absent here
I've been somewhat absent here recently and when I have been here, I haven't exactly been prolific. But the easter holidays are here now, so I have 5 1/2 weeks of fun! However fun is mainly going to be revision because this year is worth 40% of my degree. Ho hum.
I will update. It will be good :-)
See you very soon. Trix

The Challenge is set….
The Challenge is set....
As readers will know I DJ at university & have (fingers crossed) managed to get somewhere back home for the holidays. One of the things I really love about DJing is finding new music, picking the quality from the cack, and playing it to people. Getting people all excited about a track way before its release date is fantastic. DJ Sammy - Heaven was a big tune of mine about 9 months before release, but most people I knew were already loving it because I had put the word about.
So what I want from you lot are any new pop picks you have. I'm aware/have most stuff that is out but its prereleases that I am somewhat lacking in at the moment. Preferably pop cos that's what I play but feel free to leave me any other tracks that are making you go whoo at the moment!
Also I'm after any tracks that you remember as being fantastic, but that just don't get heard that often these days.
Trix xx
Just put your hands
Just put your hands up in the air, its all the rage!
Pulp were a band who have seemed to pass me by pretty much. I mean I knew who they were and can sing along quite happily to Common People and Disco 2000 . But who can't???
Over the weekend though I've been listening to A different Class many times. My mum bought me this when I first got a cd player and being foolish I took it back and changed it for the spice girls or something! However, Mark has enforced the album upon me & i've been listening like crazy... it rocks supreme. Just ordered We love Life from HMV Clearout sale at £3.99 --BARGAIN!

On an old computer flicking
On an old computer flicking through mp3s and I found Little Trees - Help me! I'm a fish . Now this song brings back many memories of a crazed pat, but hey just download it for an utter cheese fest... Maybe this should be my last song? ;-)
I don’t have bad
I don't have bad taste but...
Does anyone wanna go & see simply red in concert with me?
(I really like them... sorry!)

A chuffing lot of people (well to me) are reading this blog & noone ever comments, thus making me look sad, lonely & like I have no friends.
So I'm going to ask a direct question and hopefully you guys will give me the answer in my comments.
Last Song of the Night : I DJ Top Banana at Uni. (Full on cheese for people who arent warwick!) This is our last week of term so we need a corker to finish the event off with. I also hugely need some more variety to my last songs. So i'm asking you what you think the last song of the night should be:
Usual chosen are:
Andy Williams - Can't take my eyes off you
Let Loose - Crazy for you
Europe - The Final Countdown
Take That - Never Forget/ Back for good.
Bon Jovi - Always <-- personal fav
Last week I tried Coolio - Gangstas Paradise and twas ace! But I need something fab this week! Help me people!!!

Winamp randomosity returns I’m
Winamp randomosity returns
I'm bored. Hence....
1. The Gypsy Kings - Solo, Solo Dire : Ahem. I really don't know why I have the Gypsy Kings on my drive. I didn't even know that I did. Well a nice start. Erm I don't know what to say really. Its typical Gypsy Kings.. they all sound the same don't they???
2. Blue - Back some day : Blue! Yum! Well anyone who knows me knows I have a slight bias towards these guys. This track is from their first no 1 album, All Rise, and is one of the best non-singles, quite surprised it wasn't a single actually. It has more of a BSB/nsync sound than Blue. Yes i'm cheesy & I like it.
3. The Calling - Just that good : The Calling amuse me. A lot. The lead singer looks like Nick Carter grown up and so doesn't fit into the typical rock stereotype. He should be heading a boy band. This track is from Camino Palmero which is full of "power ballads" including the fantastic Wherever you will go.
4. Five - Take your chances on me : Five were a popular and somewhat credible (well more so than boyzone!) boy band of the late 90s/early 00s splitting up in 2001. Without fail most people can generally sing along to all their singles & they go down a storm at Top B/ Score! This however is a absolutely shite song. Stay well away!
5. Jakatta - American Dream (differentgear remix) : The theme from American Beauty (hi pat!) with random drums and random whispering women all over it. Summer hit from a while ago. Never been too keen myself!
6. Northstarz - Children of the night : Oh god I feel ill. This is a new version of the stonking classic by Nakatomi and it features on the Clubland album. Clubland is made by AATW who work with Flip & Fill, therefore this is invariably shite. It has lost all the energy of the old track, the singer is just so bland & bored its upsetting!! It's also lost the sirens from the original, thus making it even more shite! (Head up Popjustice). Get the original by Nakatomi & burn this!
7. Kosheen - Face in a crowd : Kosheen are fantastic, I love the album to bits. This is the 11th track of Resist and it samples Mike Oldfield's tubular bells. As ever Sian Evans vocals are just fantastic. If you don't have this album get it, its my favourite for a good long time.
