I'm watching 'We ♥ Robbie: Top 20' songs on 4music. People seem to be gearing up for his comeback, and there's a sort of air (as much as there can be across the media) of worry over what that comeback will be like.

For me, Robbie was never not going to stop being a star. He's one of those rare things - a natural born entertainer - even in this age of celebrity. Take That are back and doing brilliantly, but as a fan a both, they know have very different audiences and styles, and it'll just be the bands feeling which steps on old ground. Take That produce beautiful melodic rooftop sounds that seem to sing right to you, and Robbie can put his voice to a plethora of genres; his jazz sound is something that needs to be heard, even if you're not a fan of the guy.

I'm excited about his new material, and chuffed he's back doing his thing, and I hope I'm not alone in 'never forget'ting his star status. He'll be back where he belongs - in the limelight - before we know it. And that's where he's meant to be.


ETA: I just found Take That Slash :S. Internet, sometimes I hate you.

How is it that I never had the institution that is Wonderwall on my iPod? I mean, seriously. It's a fundamental right to have that song, man.

Y'all can have it now, if yer wants.

John Barrowman's cover of "I Made It Through The Rain" has reached number 10 on the Download Chart. I love the guy, but Janto fans, there's a line, and I think you just crossed it.

*throwup*

The City of Sheffield has finally decided to do something with its talent, and is hosting a music festival across the town, culminating in a gig on Dev Green, with the home- grown band Reverend and the Makers as headliners.  There are stalls from Wagamama and local stores, and I'm planning on purchasing my favourite sandwich in the world from the people doing the hog roast. It's rainy and windy, and things are only just starting, but the atmosphere is awesome already.


Only thing is, I've had the misfortune to pick up an ear infection or something, and as a result, I'm completely deaf in one ear, and a bit woolly in the other; I've come to a music festival and I can't hear a thing.


Great.

I've been overcome with the strangest feeling that I simply cannot stop listening to this song. It's just not possible. Help.

'The Lovers Are Losing' by KEANE is currently stuck in my head, and it gets better with every listen.

It's got that 80s feel, but it's not 'aged' at all. It plays to their strengths - the piano's back and the tunes are catchy without being too repetitive, the lyrics are inspiring and Tom Chaplin shows he really can sing.

I love the video too. There's something about it that I can't quite work out, and I sure as hell don't understand it, but it's kind of artistic, and takes nothing away from the song. Keane seem to be taking the "less is more" approach to their videos, to focus on the songs, and it's working so very well. It all feels so natural. And I like it when he takes off his shirt.
