Oh, and "House" is my favorite TV program. I'm obsessed with "House". I want to make sure to download it for me from America. It's on on Thursdays here on Channel 5. And I don't want to jump ahead, you know, I want to watch it one at a time, when it comes out. I don't want to waste it all. I'll watch it all at one go and I'll be finished. It can't be finished! I'm enjoying it too much. I bought the box set of "House", Series 2, about a month ago and I watched it all the way through about three times. It's brilliant. And Hugh Laurie is fantastic. But "House" is the best TV program ever made [laughs]. We were actually on tour with Maxïmo Park, and I had a chance to stay in Newcastle or come back early in the day, and I came back earlier. I flew back just to watch "House" [laughs]. The flight is very cheap; it was like £50 or something. It was brilliant. "I'm going to fly home to my house! So I can watch 'House!'" It's brilliant. And I said "Due South" was the best thing I bought this year, but it's probably the "House" box set.

I Wanna Be AdoredDe momento, sinto-me ligeiramente viciado no primeiro álbum dos The Stone Roses. Estes links todos são para videos do YouTube com as canções. Os videos da I Wanna Be Adored, She Bangs The Drums, Elephant Stone, Waterfall e Fools Gold foram feitos pela banda (ou por alguém com jeito para me enganar...). O video da Elizabeth My Dear, a minha canção anti monárquica favorita, é de uma versão demo (mas a canção não ficou muito diferente...). Os videos da Made of Stone, (Song For My) Sugar Spun Sister e Shoot You Down, são de concertos ao vivo (que ao morto não pode ser...). O video da This Is The One é um slideshow de fotografias do Manchester United. Isto está relacionado com o facto de esta canção se ouvir em Old Trafford quando o Manchester United entra em campo, segundo me informou a wikipedia. Finalmente o video da I Am The Resurrection, contém a canção completa e um estranho video amador de uns miudos ("We didn't want to play football with the spazimodo's, so we made this video to the eight minute long stone roses song. If you don't like sex in bushes and swearing to small children, this isnt for you.") E, infelizmente, não há videos da Don't Stop e da Bye Bye Badman.

Part of my problem is that I cannot dispel the myths that have somehow accumulated over the years. Somebody writes something, it's completely off the wall, but it gets filed and repeated until everyone believes it.
The band is presented as imitating the opening scene from the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. Blur star as the gang, with Damon Albarn as Alex. They are dressed in white, much like the walls in the bar. Throughout the video they appear in two places, first in a couch admiring the other patrons, and second in the bar's stage performing the song.
The video is not exactly a copy of the film, some differences are:
- In the film the bar is excesively decorated, the walls are black and have words painted. In the video the walls are made of white, padded cushion. They resemble the walls of a psychiatric hospital room, designed to prevent mental patients from hurting themselves.
- In the film the pieces of furniture of the bar are sculptures of naked women. The video has normal tables and sofas. The naked women are replaced by mannequin legs that adorn a niche in the wall.
- The gang in the film are also wearing white, but have black bowler hats, which are missing in the video.
- The attitude of the characters is different. In the video, the band is curiously watching the other patrons, almost studying them. In the film, the gang is only concerned with themselves and are there to prepare for the night. The other patrons are overlooked in the film.
