Howard: Jason, I’m sorry I laughed at you that time you got diarrhea at Barnes & Nobles.

Howard: And I’m sorry for telling everyone about it.

Howard: And I’m sorry for repeating it now.
Damian: [delivering candy canes] Howard Donald, two for you. Mark Owen? FOUR for you, Mark Owen! You go, Mark Owen. And uh… ”Gary” Barlow. Do we have a “Gary” Barlow here?
Gary: It’s Gaz.
Damian: Oh Gaz, here you go, one for you… And none for Jason Orange, bye.
I’m 18 now, well how about that. It doesn’t feel any different really, I just keep being told I’m an adult now. Bugger.
I didn’t come here to rant about how boring being 18 is, oh no, I came to give you a gift. This gift is the gift of beautiful music dear amigos.
This man is the future. Seriously. Craig Bevan is not only the next big thing in the UK, he is also a nice guy, podcaster and legend.
I first heard about Craig through podcasting, I got my first iPod (a purple 4th gen nano for those who care) and then spent about £50 on iTunes getting music, after realising that I’d soon be broke if I kept doing this I began looking through the iTunes store for stuff I wouldn’t have to pay for which is how I stumbled on podcasts. I was amazed when I first saw them, they were free and they were entertaining, what more could a broke teenager want? So I started looking for Star Trek podcasts and found the brilliant Make It So and after a few listens of that I began downloading some episodes of all the Simply Syndicated shows. I became addicted, listening to everything I could that was produced by anyone remotely linked to SS and still do to this day which is how I found Craig’s music. He was different to most of the current musicians in the UK. He has a little something for everyone and that’s the mark of a great artist in my view. He has a fantastic voice, plays guitar, writes his own material, isn’t just your typical ditzy musician and is a really nice guy on top of it all.
Ok, if you haven’t yet checked out any of Craig’s music and are still reading my silly rambling I am shaking my head at you. Some people may be a bit reluctant to check him out still, I mean why should you? Because I told you to? Yes, you should, perhaps not for that reason but you should. I can promise you that Craig will be big, think Jason Mraz and Jack Johnson but British and able to pull of Miley Cyrus. If you don’t check out Craig now, you will regret it, because you will look like one of those lame bandwagon jumpers, so get your seat on the bandwagon now!

Twitter In the words of Jason Mraz, if you’re looking for a boy with a voice…
For weekdays you get my personal twitter, then for weekends you get my super cool, fun twitter. You lucky people.
I changed the twitter account on the side, you now get my uber personal one. Lucky you.
Just read my emails, smiled a lot over something silly. Ha.
I hate that feeling you get when you know something is about to happen, something bad.
It’s Friday, the week is over, you’re feeling desperate, you need a wee. Rapper P Diddy has changed his name now, but he will still be dickhead to me. I’ll sing my theme tune, this is my theme tune, you may not like it, who gives a shiz? For it’s my theme tune, I love my theme tune, I’m saying theme tune quite a bit. Paris Hilton got arrested, she was too drunk to drive her car, and Tom and Katie have had a baby and little Suri’s been sent from Mars. This is my theme tune, you love my theme tune and if you don’t now, you frakking will. Theme tune, everlasting theme tune, my Charlotte theme tune goes on and on. On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on! Ooooo! That’s jazz.
Is it sad that I just typed one of Charlotte Church’s theme songs from memory? Yes, yes it is. Obviously, with editing.
Ok, so as we know I’m trying something a teeny bit different for our next show at school. So far I know for sure I’m singing Somewhere from West Side Story which scares the crap out of me, because it’s very high. That is a lame reason to be afraid, but you haven’t heard me singing high yet. I’m looking for one more classicalish piece and then I’m ready to rock… except I won’t really be rocking. Obviously.
