One Passion - Two Monkeys

[It does sound like a porn movie title doesn't it !]

I was thinking recently about what my real passion is in life...it didn't take too long, although I had to determine why some of my other interests weren't passions.

Music.

Adding two new music related recommendations for January:

Artic Monkeys - latest cocky young lads from England. Their first hit didn't get me too excited, but they just released their first album Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not and the tracks are really growing on me...download recommendation: Dancing Shoes. Latest single peaked at number two on the whacky UK charts last week.

Love Monkey - new show on CBS with Tom Cavanagh (from Ed fame). For me, the setting of the indy record business is very cool, with funky group of characters, a hot babe, great song samples, and some new artist "finds".

Can you have more than one passion ?

I'm hoping I can post a regular music recommendation per month.

Completely concur with the Arctic Monkeys recommendation. I've gone barmy over the album and is the best thing I've heard in 10 years. It has re-awoken my interest in music.

You've probably heard that it's the fastest selling debut album - faster than Oasis.

I was thinking about the way that Oasis were welcomed into No.10 by our PM as part of the 'Cool Britannia' year. And how the AM's aren't that way inclined. Different times here in the UK.

Oasis would like to think that they were the angry white men, but passion and anger fly like spittle from a foaming mouth from those Monkeys. And it's superb. And it's a shake up. And I predict a riot.
