And so the pop took hold. Currently spinning in my rio volt are Tatu, Madonna and Justin Timberlake. Madge and Justins albums are a tour-de-force by their producers. Beautiful and sparse, so sparse I can hear silence between the notes. Tatu shout/sing really loud. I haven't bothered with the Russian language versions on their album but the English ones are very catchy. Nice to have some quality pop now and then.

I'm off to Blackpool today on business (Darren and Edward will stay behind in the family home in London). Back on Tuesday night.
