Record Facts and Statistics


Building on the success of my earlier blog on music-related matters, http://robocono.blogspot.com/2014/09/defibrillated-frankensteins-monsters-of.html, featuring Jedward and Justin Beiber, here are some more

Record Facts* and Statistics**

1.* There are two** 'space' records with excellent starts sorely let down by the pedestrian nature of what follows: 'Telstar' and 'Intergalactic' by The Beastie Boys.

2.* Rap is nearly all rubbish. The best rap records ever made are 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised', and 'Tubthumping' by Chumbawumba , one** of which is the first rap record, and both** of which would stand out as being excellent on their own merits whatever the genre.

    My eldest daughter has developed a weird obsession with South Korean boy bands abd, as she has commandeered every sound system in the house, my life is hell. That said, she recently dug up this Russian boy band while trawling t'internet which I must share with you - absolute quality !!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCLV63q9Kl4
