Isn't the internet brilliant? Astonishing stuff has happened over the last couple of days, and yet there's been no fanfare, no parades, no weeping in the streets. It's almost as if exciting things are happening online all the time, and you never know what you'll find out if you just stay alert enough. Several amazing things are probably being posted to the web RIGHT NOW! Like the new album by a band we will all be totally in love with in a month's time AND some footage of a monkey riding a dog to the shops.

For example: Here's a special message Lily Allen sent out to her fans last Thursday on ...

"I posted a couple of new songs on the player for you all to have a listen to and get an idea of my new direction, they are just at a demo stage so don't be too hard on them. I'll probably swap some others around and play you stuff as I do it in the studio, like I did last time round."

And here's an illicit YouTube version someone else has already made of one of those songs, the very swoony 'I Could Say'. I can't put the other song up, because it's quite sweary.

Dandankiwi has described it as "so athmospheric!!", and who am I to argue with him?

Since then, both songs have been played many, many times, and rightly so, because even in embryonic form, good Lily Allen songs are wonderful things indeed.

Not that I care. I'm off to look for that film with the monkey and the dog. TTFN!
