		<description><![CDATA[http://www.myspace.com/burntisland I never went to BurntIsland when I was young. I lived near it, though, in Aberdour, a tiny little village just along the Scots coastline from the place. I was aware of it.

Honest. You know what, though- weddings are actually fairly bland affairs. The whole point of them is their normality. &#8216;Ah yes,&#8217; you say to yourself as the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Lady Gaga&#8217;s been mildly amusing every now and then. I think there was a point in time when I quite liked her, though I was suspicious of the way her early releases and videos seemed to be rather deliberate syntheses of whatever was popular. I wasn&#8217;t convinced, though, and as time went on I found [...]

It&#8217;s a little bit of everything, from strange shouty punk to interesting techno, to mad women singing god knows what in a foreign language. there&#8217;s also lots of really strange band names- Gay Against You, [...]

It sounds like it was a pretty harrowing injury, from all accounts: the doctor who treated him is quoted as saying that the injury was a herniated disc, [...]
