Quote for the Day

This just jumped out at me (go figure, look at the title of my blog!!) from the BBC website. I was following a link in liz's blog and checking out Antony and the Johnsons who won this year's Mercury Music prize. This is the lead singer, Antony Hegarty, describing the competition:
"It's kind of like a crazy contest between an orange and a spaceship and a potted plant and a spoon - which one do you like better?" he said. -BBC

I love it! I'm not so sure about their music...the one sample I've heard on the BBC site was a little too Boy Georgy/George Michaely for me, but it had a bit of a Bob Geldorf overtone that I kinda liked. I'll have to research the band more.

This won't mean much to some, but while we were abroad, we got to tour the Cathedral on the Hill, the home stadium for Newcastle United....
