Can’t remember what that title is from - I think it might be from a song on Moloko’s first album - Do You Like My Tight Sweater? Deliciously odd album, very different to the more po-faced stuff that they did afterwards. But I digress. I don’t know what my original intent with this post was but I don’t think it was to discuss Moloko’s back-catalogue.

It seems a little ironic that my last entry takes the piss out of Floody (the looder) for not posting in ages when my blog isn’t the most frequently updated site on the planet.

So, where to begin? How about telly? (Is it telly when you’re downloading it from the States and watching it on your iPod*?) I don’t watch much, but I do watch Battlestar Galactica, which is in its third season now (the remake, not the original series). The show takes the solid concept of the original - humanity is all but wiped out by insane robots and the survivors take to space to find a mythical planet called Earth - and does away with the campiness, the self-contained episodes and the daggit. The new BSG is intelligent, gritty, well-written and excellently acted - the premise of the original series has basically been suffixed with ‘and what would it be like if it happened right now, today or, at least, far enough into the future that space travel is both possible and routine and near enough to the present to be recognisable’. Well worth watching, but the over-arcing storyline means that you really need to watch the whole thing from the beginning.

How about Lost? The last season was dull as, so I haven’t bothered watching any of season 2 and can’t comment on it. I really hope that when I do get round to it, it has redeemed itself but somehow I don’t see that happening. I get the feeling that the success of Lost during the first season took everyone - including J.J. Abrams - by surprise and the writers/producers have been trying to keep the plot afloat ever since.

I’ve been listening to a good few podcasts lately and want to write an entry about that. The summarised version of that article is that the Irish media sucks.
