can't stop talking: The Big Love-In, Issue 5

Some July love!

Moves Like Jagger – Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera

I heard this song for the first time last week and have had it on repeat pretty much ever since. It’s catchy as heck and totally awesome – and Adam Levine is one damn fine GQMF.

Listen!

My First Ever YNWA

A couple of weeks back, I was lucky enough to get to see the awesome Celtic FC play my hometown club, the Perth Glory, in an international friendly (we’re talking soccer, right now, for those playing at home =P).

For a Liverpool fan, like me, You’ll Never Walk Alone (YNWA) is a song that holds a huge amount of meaning, and that we share that song as an anthem with Celtic means there’s a bond between the two clubs. That detail hadn’t escaped me, but the thought that the Bhoys fans would deliver a stirring rendition of our legendary anthem at the match had. Standing at the Shed end on a cold night listening to that, I could almost pretend I’d made it to the Kop. One day..!

Go The Fuck To Sleep

I don’t have kids, but I’ve done my fair share of reading bedtime stories while baby-sitting cousins, and this one takes the cake as by far the best I’ve ever seen! Gotta love a book with lines like "I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit. Stop lying. Lie the fuck down, my darling, and sleep." And when you combine the epicness of the book with the legendary Noni Hazlehurst, a beloved host of Play School, an educational early-childhood program here in Australia, it just gets even funnier! If you haven't already seen this, check it out. Hilarious.

Tumblr

I had been avoiding getting Tumblr for a long time, just as much for the fact that I hardly need another distraction as that I didn’t have a clue how to use it. But after days of (horribly unattractive) highly convincing picspam from some twitter friends, I signed up. It’s like a ready-made, constantly updating, giant gorgeous picspam feed! It is beautiful and Bomer-filled and awesome =)

Guitars, Pinstripes and The Purple Shirt of Awesomeness

I need say no more.
