Nice Cave is bloody brilliant, if you've not got any of his other stuff, i'd reccomend buying the back catalogue.

I'm currently loving Head Automitica, they've got a video on Kerrang called Beat Heart Baby, it's great.

Can't say i've heard of them, will hunt them down tonight and have a listen.

Caliban really aint very good, saw them supporting Machine Head last year, and they were pish. Machine Head on the other hand were bloody fantastic.

It wouldnt be Fozzy without Jericho.

The best album of the year is released on the 18th of Jan, Fozzy - All That Remains, metal at its best. They're also touring in Feburary, in London, Nottingham and Manchester, can't wait.

That's the best news we've had all week.

R.I.P Dimebag. Can't see how anyone can do such a thing, i'm in a bit of shock over this, Pantera were one of the first metal bands I got into. As they say, only in america.

Not going to see Motle Crue?

Pedersen scores direct from a free-kick cross.

He's not though, he played the through ball to the bloke who shot which the keeper saved so Iversen could tap it in.

Looks like it's going to be 1-1 at half time. For me the Aussie's have been the better team, far more attacking options than the norwegians. Emerton has looks sharp, swaping wings throughout the half, Pedersen on the other had has looked isolated as the ball isnt really going down the left for them.

Got the Super Furry Animals singles collection and Who Killed The Zutons this week. Been a fan of SFA since the released Something 4 the Weekend, so very happy with the album. The Zutons is class, can see why it was nominated for the Mercury prize.

3-0 to Wales, with Lord Lucan as the ref and Sergar as the mascot.

What do you think colin?

Downloading from places such as dc++ and kazaa are still illegal as far as i know, the download chart takes its figures from ITunes and such like.

Finally the new Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds album has arrived, and as with his other albums he is on top form. Well worth £11.99 for 2 cd's.

The Celts were not just one race or ethnic group. They were a group of tribes that had similar languages, cultures and religions. But, the Celtic influence has almost completely disappeared today except in places such as Wales, Brittany, Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. Not been to cornwall recently have you Alan? It's very celtic down here still. Oh yea, i'm liking Hughes as manager.

Live ??? More like bloody Mime.. Linkin Park couldnt play live if they tried. (And i've had the misfortune to see them as Metallca support). P.S Shillito - For once I agree with you. Oasis are now @#/?, but not as bad as LP. They were live enough when I saw them at Download this year, very good they were as well. New albums on my playlist this past week have been The Killers, Razorlight, Vast and Hoobastank. Now waiting for the new Nick Cave album to come out.

I'm sure you know this, but Nick Cave has a new album out very soon, as well as a Uk tour to acompany it. Not sure on the release date, but i'm looking forward to it, and the tour if I can make my way to london.

Colin Hendry, Mark Atkins and Simon Garner for me.

Does this eventually lead to the dark side?

How can you take a penalty like that in a sudden death shootout? Crikey.

Come on Portugal!
