In honour of Hayley

In honour of my little sis Hayley who was shocked and disappointed that I didn't respond to her sms containing the 'greatest trivia ever', I'm going to help her in her goal to share the message with the world... For those of you who didn't know - the song 'Jessie' by Joshua Kadison was in fact written about his relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker! Wow - I know, don't die from shock...

And in other news, I went to see Paolo Nutini last week at L'Olympia. In the beginning we were a little concerned by his mega lisp and 'I've got an apple in my mouth' singing style, but fortunately this passed after a couple of songs and he began singing normally...The young scot (don't be confused by his Italian name) did himself proud and put on a great show. Even if when he speaks his accent is so thick and his tendancy to mumble leaves you not understanding a word (the poor French - have difficulty with English in the best of conditions), it was still highly entertaining! And if you check out the you tube link you can see a great cover - dedicated to the ape in Borneo that Paolo has recently adopted....

this is better trivia.

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel played in a band with Laurent Brancowitz in 1992 called "darlin" for about 6 months. they went to the UK with a single released on a small independat label - playing thrashing punk but a bit electro... they got alot of realllllllly average reviews one even saying that they were just a couple of "daft punks"

laurence left the band to join "phoenix" with his brother on the other guitar.

the other 2 guys started daft punk.

hows that for trivia?
