This Week… Girl Power vs Slavery, Bin Laden is back, RIP Mark Hollis
"Come my love, kick the line." – Mark Hollis
"I know it sounds weird, but how bad, how hard can dying be?" – Cher
"Yeah, but, chain eating roasts?" – Jez
This Week lets first talk talk about Mark Hollis, lead singer of 80s synth-pop band Talk Talk, who passed away this week. His unique vocal sound and lyricism has been the source of inspiration for a generation of musicians that have followed since.
"Before you play two notes, learn how to play one note. And don't play one note unless you've got a reason to play it. The silence is above everything, and I would rather hear one note than I would two, and I would rather hear silence than I would one note."
RIP Mark Hollis
Hahahahahahaha, it's only money, right?
Guess who's back? Back again. Bin Laden's back. Tell a friend… or the US government and you might get $1m (£750,000)!
Guess who else is back? Back again. Al-an's back. Tell a friend…
"Alan who", I hear you cry.
"Alan Partridge, that's who", you silly buggers.

Anyway, on that note, let me finish with a pretentious —but heartfelt — use of song lyrics (Talk Talk, 'Life's What you Make It"). You'd be clever to take this advice you mugs! SING WITH ME NOW!….
Baby, life's what you make it / Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite / Don't you hate it
Baby life's what you make it / Don't back date it
Baby, don't try to shade it / Beauty is naked
Baby, life's what you make it / Celebrate it
Anticipate it / Yesterday's faded / Nothing can change it / Life's what you make it
Oh, and lastly, planning a big one this Friday? Watch out, mum in a Junior Boy's Own jumper is about…
