Busy days, busy days, and getting busier.  My father and brother fly in at the crack of dawn tomorrow for a rare visit from the US, so I'll be a guide for the week.  To kick us off, the long-promised iPod of Loo (a phrase which I'll be explaining to my relatives this very week):

Look Away by Big Country (remember them?  Remember "In a Big Country"?  This song's better and so much fun to sing)

Looks Like Mona Lisa by Michelle Shocked ("She'd love nothing better than to rob the Louvre blind.")

The Loop by Morrissey (Not his best, but you've got to throw a bone to Morrissy fans now and then or they stalk you).

Loose Tongue by Neil Finn (a riff straight out of Aerosmith and a great bridge)

Thinking Up Looking Down by Lightning Seeds (I'm showing my age this ep (no Arctic Monkeys, no Killers) but a great song is a great song).

And now, to the loo.
