Jon Newman's made me an emo

I'm guessing that guitar, piano and vox were what she did before the label got hold of her and ruined it all with huge production.

Had to go for a dual screen setup tonight

Sophie's home so inevitably Xfactor is on the tv for next few hours. Thankfully I had a spare screen to set the xBox up on and a few Ringwoods in the kitchen. :-)

The search continues...
