Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
Just went and saw this. It's awesome. Smelly. Beautiful. Ben Whishaw is a beautiful actor. Beautiful. This is him smelling a chick he then kills. It's all just wonderful (except the killing).
Cheesy Italian Crime Show on SBS this summer
It's called Don Matteo and I've seen the first three episodes and it's just WONDERFUL. The lead character is a Catholic priest who is blonde and rides a bike and wears a funny hat and fancies himself as a bit of a policeman WITHOUT FORGETTING HIS PRIESTLY DUTIES and he's played by a guy called TERENCE HILL which doesn't sound very Italian BUT SPEAKS GOOD ITALIAN (though what would I know) and there is a "Capitano" who is the police captain and there is a "bumbling" Seargent who wishes he could get promoted but he can't because he's "bumbling" and there is a good looking young cop who doesn't get much of a look-in and there is a female MAYOR who is the Capitano's possible love interest, if this weren't a PG rated show (Mild violence) and she is quite "bumbling" too because she isn't very good at 
driving cars, and it's all set in a BEAUTIFUL little Italian village where lots of crime happens oh and the policemen always go and ask Don Matteo for help and he has this woman living with him who I don't think it's wife because he's a priest but she's very "nervy" and bakes a lot!Whew!
It's like Blue Heelers, but ENTERTAINING and NOT AUSTRALIAN and NOT DODGY and GLAMOUROUS in a GOOD WAY.
It's all a great lead-in to an Adults-Only episode of Inspector Rex. The other day it was about this horrible sexual predator who had it in for Rex and wanted to kill him, but in the end, Rex got him! :)
Meanwhile, listen to this! (Real player streaming audio) It's a song I've just noticed in the Swedish charts called "Forget me forget me not". It's quite good. (But nothing to do with Don Matteo)
Lazy ARIA Top 50 round-up
1 NIGHT OF MY LIFE Damien Leith
It works I suppose. But it's not very EXCITING is it.
2 DON'T GIVE UP Shannon Noll & Natalie Bassingthwaighte
Well it's nice that it's about reducing suicide and STUFF but I think Natalie puts on a bit of a silly voice. Or is that just how she sounds when she sings slow songs?
3 SMACK THAT Akon Feat. Eminem
I'm assuming this is awful.
4 WIND IT UP Gwen Stefani
Well the goat bit is good but the rest is a bit unlistenable.
5 IRREPLACEABLE Beyonc
The "to the left" rubbish drives me NUTS!
6 I WISH I WAS A PUNK ROCKER (WITH FLOWERS IN MY HAIR) Sandi Thom
Who is still buying this?
7 MY LOVE Justin Timberlake Feat. T.I.
Toes in the sand. It's great.
8 I DON'T FEEL LIKE DANCIN' Scissor Sisters
Amusingly popular. I never liked it much to begin with, and still don't.
9 FERGALICIOUS Fergie
What rubbish.
10 SAY IT RIGHT Nelly Furtado
Lovely, just lovely. So pretty.
11 ELEVATOR LOVE Guy Sebastian
You know what I think about this.
12 LIGHT SURROUNDING YOU Evermore
Pretty, very pretty. Not as pretty as Nelly though.
13 TOO LITTLE TOO LATE JoJo
What generic rubbish. Just AWFUL.
14 HAPPENIN' ALL OVER AGAIN Young Divas
Good on you, you "middling foursome" (Sun Herald quote)
15 I DON'T NEED A MAN The Pussycat Dolls
Well it's not that bad is it? It's not Steps though.
16 U + UR HAND P!nk
It's about masturbation. That is a good thing, surely.
17 HURT Christina Aguilera
She's disappointing these days.
18 ROCK THIS PARTY (EVERYBODY DANCE NOW) Bob Sinclar
What a load of codswollop.
19 FUNKY TONIGHT John Butler Trio
Oh Gosh, I forgot these guys when I did my "scourge on pop music" post.

Assuming it's awful.

Ashanti! Is she still around? Definitely awful.
23 JOKER & THE THIEF Wolfmother
Definitely awful.
24 CALL ME WHEN YOU'RE SOBER Evanescence
Disappointingly awful. Their first album's singles were so good and ideal for belting while cruising up Bermuda Street and this is just....unlistenable.
25 SEXYBACK Justin Timberlake
It is.
26 PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR DETROIT Fedde Le Grand
Pretty sure it's awful.

Quite perfect really.
31 TIGHTROPE Stephanie McIntosh
Nice synths. And bosom.
32 LAST CHRISTMAS (WITH FROG) Crazy Frog

Pretty harmonies.
34 LONELY Shannon Noll
Wonderful for doing the shopping to.
35 LOVELIGHT Robbie Williams
I just don't get it. Nothing special for me.

Who is Cassie?

Go to SWEDEN, not ITALY, Anthony!

42 WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG The Killers
Unlistenable.

Unlistenable.

Mediocre.
45 IF EVERYONE CARED Nickelback
They make me want to slit my wrists (not really).

50 THE SAINTS ARE COMING U2 & Green Day
Awful.
Not as bad as when we did this a few months ago really!
It works I suppose. But it's not very EXCITING is it.
