Good day to you all! You may well be wondering who the fine looking young dude is above... well, it's the rather lovely Ben Barnes who stars in the History Boys that the magnificent Kirsty and I went to see in London yesterday. And proper bonza it was too. We had a delicious ham and cheese croissant prior to the show and it was the same cast that I saw with K back in October (and that I reviewed here... remember Pinkie's "contentious" review in comments? It was his first ever comment on my site at first and i was like, 'how rude! It's like a complete stranger coming into your house and rubbishing your dvd collection!' Still, i am very magnaminous so I let it pass ;) You can also read my movie review here). We were both completely knackered on the train home though! Although we spiced up the journey by me introducing Kirsty to her first flick through a gay mag - she pretended to read the articles, but I suspect she was eyeing up the half naked fashion models. As you do. Still as Darren and Nick (Kirsty's husband) are away, we were content to drool over pics of Ben Barnes in the History Boys programme to while away the hours - it was a love wee and lady love wee dribble fest ;) But enough about all that - i had a good old clean of the house today and sorted out our dvd cupboard, as well as a visit to the folks and a bit of shopping. Lovely... Right, on with the post... .
THE 11 TO WATCH IN 2007 UPDATE 3:
.
Well goodness, haven't my gang been excessively busy! And rather brilliantly Popshow is as clued up as me or I am as clued up as them for several of my guys are performing at the next evening on Feb 20th 2007 at Soho Review Bar. So if you can pop along you'll be supporting Switch22, Digital, Beyond as well as zapping faves Jean and Electric Dolls. Bound to be a well bonza night out. Marv (just for Bernice!). Right on with them act by act!
.
The super heroes of pop are busy working on some exciting new tracks (with Electric Dolls) that I am very excited to hear...and of course, they'll be at the popshow on 20th Feb. Plus yay! I am one of their top myspace friends. Marv.
.
Gavin Mikhail has released his fab album Like Normal People Do in Japan and you can purchase from trolley bus records here (works out at about $19 with p&p). You can also check out one of the bonus tracks - Not Enough (acoustic) at his myspace site right now! A review of that track is coming tomorrow....
Well, my my my! You turn your back for a week and Jordan has left the group and now Digital is a five piece with a completely new look. Still totally worthy of being in my 11 in 07, welcome Charlie, Jon and Josh to thezapping and head on over to their site to check out reworked versions of Boys and Girls and San Frandisco. Plus I have it on good authority from the lovely Baz that a new track is heading to myspace... If it's up for tomorrow, i'll review it then!
. .
. .
And bugger me with a banana, my lovely Bliss girls have gone and had a saucy new make over too! And most glam they look too. I'm loving the logo and the simplicity of the shot and oh boy they all have great legs! Not to sound too gay but Brittany's hair looks aces ;) They are still working on their new track Resist, which I hear sounds fantastic. Can't wait to hear it. Check out their myspace for more great pics...
.
Beyond have also had a sexy new makeover in what looks to be their most successful photoshoot to date. The girls look suitably sultry and sexy with major popstar pouting going on while the boys don't half scrub up well - Kevin has a great t shirt on and clearly hasn't over done his subtle wrist accessory, while Andy's hair looks v. pop idol and i'm envious of his green jacket - i tried on one similar today and i looked very mutton. So all in all a great shot! Thanks to Wayne for forwarding me a HQ image....
Best of the rest ~ I'm still dying to do a review of a couple of Simon Curtis tracks but haven't heard back yet! I heard from Stephan from Billiam this week and they have a great cover version coming out soon and an 80s inspired track that i know I am going to die for - that's all i can say about that now!

THE RETURN OF ROSE!
.
Hurrah! Rose is alive. Well we knew that anyway, she is just living in alterna-earth where she can't get to the doctor. But she is also alive on this audio adventure read by the very lovely David Tennant - it was free in the radio times so I only feel marginally guilty about posting it here! It's a spine tingling story of a ghost ship, a doomed crew and a terrible secret...ooooo! And i'll upload The Stone Rose next week :)

Ditto for using the logo for the spin-off blog. Now I really want to see The History Boys.
It's very "awww" to see that Gavin display case--I'm so glad he's doing well in Japan! Plus, "Gavin Mikhail" is still a great name.
I really need to go back and catch up on some Doctor Who--I'm sure I'd love it. I just never seem to have time for TV (or maybe I'm just worried about taking another TV show into my heart?)
PPG/VM/GG - i know - i just put them in water and they grew and grew! Mirac!Ps you should get into Dr Who - its only 13/14 episodes a year and i don't think it's going anywhere!!
Stu - i am excited for that album!!
The Ashley TIsdale album is just 'okay.' Don't get your hopes up too much. There is a really great song on there that sounds like Kylie... can't remember what it's called, though... it kinda sounds like "Burning Up" off Fever.
And thanks for the mention!
