Music in Spain , a moan and a babe 

Music in Spain , a moan and a babe

Just been listening to an album by Formula Abierta, a band from Spain (now defunct I think), who won some version of Spanish “pop stars” in either 2002 or 2003. I hate manufactured bands, but we continually heard one of this group’s songs at a festival in 2003 and it got under our skin. A waitress that we got to know asked her sister to put a copy on CD for us and we have periodically (normally during summer) listened to it ever since. It is pop, salsa, dance and a whole range of other things mixed in – ultimately very summery.

I won’t moan about google today (oh I just did). I will however moan about TV “celebrity chefs”. How is a chef a celebrity – just because they can cook!

Every Saturday morning British TV is peppered with cooking programs hosted by these prats and there is no escape from them. Today a female version suggested a concoction of her own in a TV voting poll. The recipe was nothing more than black pudding with a layer of mash potato above and below. Amazing. What will she come up with next week – bread with butter on top and maybe even some jam too! I rekon I must be a celebrity chef too. I cook every day of the week and usually use 6 or 7 ingredients at a time.

Anyway I must be off – I am going to pitch an idea for a TV show. The idea is that I line up all the TV chefs, gardeners, house make-over designers and the like and then decapitate them. I then explode their heads in a microwave before planting their eye balls in well composted pots and placing them in strategic positions on window sills in my house. It sound good to me.
