Uppers & Downers

Here a selection of what has been getting us up and down this week.


Uppers

1) The Fame- She maybe annoying us with the endless strange provocative dresses, the tea cup, and the feature film length videos with weird Swedish men for a 3 minute song- But Gaga has come up with the pop album of the year

2) The Street - Jimmy's McGovern excellent Manchester based drama has been the best thing on the box for a long time. Shame that ITV North cuts means this seasons was probably the last.

3) Remedy by Little Boots - The uber hip music reviewer in The Guardian criticise this song for being like a 1980's East European Eurovision entry- But that's why we love it!


Downers

1) Self Centred Americans- Apparently the right wing middle classes have been showing their distress at Obama turning the USA 'into a socialist state' by buying Car Stickers with slogans like Honk If I'm paying your Mortgage (Pictured Above)

2) Sunny in Neighbours- The most pointless character in the shows history - and that's saying something

3) Start of the Football Season - Signaling the beginning of the end of the summer as well as pleasant Wednesday nights drinks in the local pub
