You see, our broadband internet connection went on the fritz over the weekend, and we're still not sure if it's been fixed all the way yet. And for some stupid reason, I can sometimes get bent out of shape by electronics around the house malfunctioning, and this time in particular I've found myself frequently wishing I could pack up and move out to some remote area in Europe where life moves at a slower pace and isn't nearly as dependent on all our high-tech gadgetry.
But anyway, as you can probably understand, all that has dampened my spirit slightly for keeping up a steady blogging schedule, so things will probably be a bit quiet around here for the next four weeks. But have no fear, I've got two ideas in mind for series of posts, not to mention the fact that "American Idol" is just about to kick into high gear with Hollywood Week and the ensuing viewer-vote-powered final rounds. But in the meantime, I hope I'm the first in your little blog circle to bring you the recently unveiled cover of the new Boyzone album, "Brother", due out March 8....
It's a very nice-looking cover, however I can't help but notice the absence of the late, great Stephen Gately. True, he is technically no longer an active member of the group, but it was my understanding that he recorded a fair share of vocals for this new batch of songs before passing away ... at least, I hope we'll be hearing a lot of his voice. Plus, since this album is no doubt in memory of Steo, the least they could have done was shrink the "Boyzone" and "Brother" and move them toward the outside edges, making room for at least a small pic of Stephen in the center ... wouldn't you think? Still, though, I will of course be picking this one up promptly.
Oh, and I didn't notice until yesterday, but my #1 CD of the '00s entry was my 300th post!! Woo-hoo!!
