Song of The WeekThere is an idea that free music stops people buying tunes well as far as I’m concerned that’s not true. I heard this ace track here, Hello Saferide: I Was Definitely Made For These Times (Regal, 2007)
It has wormed it's way into my head. So much so I bought the single (3 times!). HMV have loads of singles many of them have great sleeves and are on really thick vinyl. Maybe people should think of them as solid state mp3’s.
I shall probably buy Pony Up after 
hearing their very rude tribute to full metal jacket star Matthew Modine. It's another Motown stomp, have a listen and then track down the record.

best. Shack up. (Factory Benelux) 1980
The effect of such tracks on the likes of Franz Ferdinand has been mulled over elsewhere I would just say it's funky good.
Sweet of the week 
Speaking of great things in little packages, over the weekend as well putting the world to rights, cooking fish etc discussion turned to the subject of sweet meats. As always with 3 men there was a difference of opinion to wit, which are better Wine gums or Midget gems?
The discussion went back and forth. My take on the subject (the correct one) is that Midget Gems are the Beatles to Wine Gums Rolling Stones. Gem's are elegant and perfectly formed, they give up what they promise, wine gums on the other hands are just like the Stones they aren’t what they seem, no port in wine gums the same way that Mick Jagger comes from Kent not Kentucky. Case in point wine gums sourz the last refuge of the knave.
Oh and one thing the little black ones have to be licorice not black currant flavour it’s the law. If you, like
every other right thinking person thinks this way ,sign this petition to lion brand, to keep the dark ones Spanish flavoured.

Nice pictures of gems
A silly boy eating too many
Odes to the mighty mini sweets
Bring science alive with these little smashers
And lastly the question on everyones lips "can tall people eat midget gems? "

I'd completely forgotten about Midget Gems, but now I can remember that feeling of sugary gum stuck onto teeth, and the avoidance of those yucky black ones, which tasted of medicine - I didn't realsie it was supposed to be licorice! So I think that, history notwithstanding, that blackcurrant would be a jolly decent replacement. That's if Ribena haven't got 'em all.
I'm off down bon-bons mate. What a top website.

Best scientific trick with midget gems (its more gruesome with jelly babies but midget gems will work)
1-2 cm depth of potassium chlorate.
Heat with bunsen until it melts
stop heating
add sweet
stand well back.....basically rocket fuel in a test tube
(for safety and legal reasons please adhere to all local safety rules and follow CLEAPS GUIDANCE AT ALL TIMES...DONT DO THIS AT HOME BASICALLY)
The sweets I take my name from fill me with comedic inspiration and, I suspect, E numbers that make my eyes sweat. Nobody signed my petition which must mean I'm the only person thinking right left. However,that experiment looks most interesting!
