redfiona99So, for various reasons, I spent New Years at home watching Jools on the box avec Mum and Nan. The thing I love about Jools is that he makes it all seem so very homely, even as there is chaos all around him.
I enjoyed it immensely, the grown ups not so much. I loved thingy from the Noisettes version of 'Don't Upset the Rhythm' and I think I'm more than slightly in love with Dizzee Rascal.
After that I watched the highlights of this year's Glastonbury, which I enjoyed immensely. I think my favourite one was Bruce Springsteen randomly tuning up to play a song with The Gaslight Anthem, who I'd never heard of before, but will now have to look into. Anyway, the lead singer of Gaslight Anthem was grinning ear to ear because he was playing with Springsteen, but, and this was the best of it, so was Bruce. He looked just as happy to be playing with them as they were with him. I <3 Bruce!
There were lots of other things I liked too. One of the more interesting ones is the rise of nu-folk. Admittedly, most of it isn't my thing, it's all a bit too high pitched whingy boy for my liking but my favourite of the bunch is Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLJf9qJHR3E (Not safe for work due to swearing.)
Other than that there was the Christmas Gala from Obertsdorf which featured the still ever so mighty Elvis Stojko which made me very happy.
I've also been watching the recent remake of Knight Rider. It doesn't quite work, but it's fun in parts.
