It’s Johnny Cash singing Nine Inch Nails’ song Hurt, shortly before his wife died and not long before he himself passed away. It’s so moving…what a guy.
1. Johnny Cash. My friend sent me a copy of his cover of The Mercy Seat by Nick Cave. I had obviously heard some of his well known songs before, but I never really got into them. I’m now listening to his American III and America V albums. What a guy and what a voice.

Behold the amazing, Mountain Dew drinking, mashup DJ, Granny Sue Teller as she shows us how to “sync our beats” and “get our freak on”…
In this other episode she shows us how to customize our sneakers.

It’s a well funky mix of all sorts [...]
What muppet puts a smoke alarm in a kitchen? A really sensitive one that goes off if you let your toast get slightly brown. One that is connected to every smoke alarm in the apartment block so when it goes off its like air raid sirens across the city. I’m now too scared to use [...]
So the same day as I declare my new found adoration for Dolly Parton, I try persuading my friends to go see a movie about a little girl going to a beauty pageant. People were asking questions…
…until we saw Little Miss Sunshine, which was amazing! I can’t remember the last time I heard a packed [...]
Maybe I have issues, but today I’ve been listening to Dolly Parton. This is getting me no end of abuse and questions about my sexuality. Personally, I think she has a unique and beautiful voice, and I find the honesty in some of her lyrics moving. From what I’ve heard so far, Jolene and her [...]
