I expressed my hatred of this televisual abomination last night at Urban Beach to Ben. In particular the episode where they visited Scotland. It's an extremely condescending episode, especially when Simon Cowell kept changing how Scottish he was (at the beginning of the show he was saying 'I'm 25% Scottish' ... this increased to 45% and then by the end of the show 80%... What's he trying to say?!)
Anyway, Glaswegian internet-comedy genius Limmy hit the nail on head in his latest Vlog...
Now I remember watching that episode and even I was offended at the patronising arrogance of Cowell, Morgan and Holden... and I'm not even Scottish!
If that's not an advert for Scottish independance I don't know what is!
One thing that was under discussion last week was Ryan Adams Blog and the bizarre rate at which he edits his blog. One minute it's up with lots of pics and thoughts, the next minute it's been taken down or he's deleted everything. Same goes for his Vimeo account (where he hosts all his videos) in the last month he's had 3 different profiles with videos put up and taken down constantly. Luckily, some harcore Ryan Adams fans have managed to grab all of his videos and hosted them on a youtube channel. Most of the videos are of random little songs such as my favourite, Cobwebs, and some are arty musing or interviews. Below are Cobwebs and Transitions.

So welcome to a blog about popular culture. Here we will be covering topics such as film, music, art, books and comics... with possible deviations into TV and fashion. We will be giving you recommendations andalso tell you what to avoid. This blog will also be an extension of our weekly meetings in that it will cover what we've discussed and also anything else we think of during the week.Where did the name come from? I think Ben has had the idea brewing for quite some time.
