I have been a huge fan of Depeche Mode since I was a teenager. In recent years they have been going off the rails a bit, but this new album is brilliant. It’s the CD that is constantly played in the car now. Reiss’ favourite track (and mine) is John The Revelator, he just keeps playing it over and over again - I’m scared I might end up getting sick of it !

Goldfrapp - Supernature
March 23, 2006
I first spotted Goldfrapp on Jools Holland’s Hootenanny on NewYears Eve (yes I know I’m sad watching TV on New Years Eve - I had the Flu so TV was the only option this year). With their great synth pop they sounded just like they had fallen out of the 80’s - absolutley fantastic. Although the whole album is great, there are three tracks that really stand out; Ooh La La, Ride A White Horse and my favourite Number 1. I’m looking forward to check out their 2 earlier CDs.

My favourite podcast author, Scott Sigler, just released his third podcast novel called Infection.

I am now on a mission to get as many people as possible to experience Scott’s work as possible - so if you are reading my blog, I insist you go to http://scottsigler.podshow.com/ now and start listening!
