Let us begin with a little anecdote. Someone close to hecklerspray used to go out with a chap in the armed forces many moons ago. They met a fella in the barracks who was shyly strumming away at his guitar. So shy was he, that she felt compelled to say “Hey! Don’t be shy!” and encouraged him to play further.
That man was, and still is, James Blunt. Of course, various hecklerspray writers have since beaten this girl to death while screaming ‘You’re Beautiful’ at her because, essentially, his whole career is her fault.
So when James Blunt isn’t being crass rhyming slang, stopping World War III (if you believe reports) and being irritatingly charming on chatshows, what’s he up to? Well, it mainly involves getting off with women and, on this occasion, someone from the Pussycat Dolls. Read More >>>
One of the above is an evil genius who has enslaved thousands under an evil spell that is considered genius by themselves. Armed with a guitar and a voice that sounds like it’s been achieved by being kicked in the balls, James Blunt has somehow made a career of singing mushy love songs and pulling stupidly pretty woman in the process.
The Taliban are a group of people hell bent on destruction, causing chaos and the fascination of two former world leaders who decided to start a few wars so we could bring down a notch.
Unfortunately, The Taliban is still running circles round the armies drafted in by the rest of the world who are meant to be the best in the world. Remember, this is The Taliban who operate out of a shed and get internet by holding a tin foil wrapped can of beans in a kite. But fear not, as irritating singer/songwriting pleb James Blunt is going to sing them in to submission. Read More >>>
Have you heard? Sesame Street is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
Just think about that. Four decades of Sesame Street falsely teaching children that the last letter of the alphabet is ‘zee’ instead of ‘zed’. Four decades of Sesame Street teaching children to laugh in an unconvincing east European accent whenever they count to five. Four decades of Sesame Street showing slightly underwhelming short-form documentaries about bottle factories.
And four decades of solid gold musical performances. For a kid’s TV show, Sesame Street has played host to some genuinely incredible musical acts in its time, and here’s a list of our favourites. Do let us know if we’ve missed any out…

Here’s a guest blog by Josh from the mighty Interestment…
Beauty surely is the most fickle of the tick box categories we demand in a partner. After all, every once in a while a gorgeous face will start speaking, and all semblence of attractiveness will find itself hurtling from the nearest window.
Here are ten famous people who would be wise to keep schtum in future.

Quick! Stop what you’re doing. If you thought the biggest announcement of the year was that time travelling thing that’d tell us the secrets of the universe, you’re wrong!
We’ve got something much more important to tell you, something that will cause the world’s population to sigh in unison.
It’s James Blunt. He might write all sorts of songs that get used in chick flicks, love albums and as a weapon to torture terror suspects, but this could soon stop. You see, James Blunt has promised to sew his mouth shut for the right amount of money. Or never step foot in a recording studio again, at least.

The human equivalent of celery, aka eunuch pop star James Blunt, has been pissing and moaning about how hard his life is again.
The You're Beautiful singer says those who run his profession are obsessed with what is "cool", and couldn't care less about creativity.
And you do, Jamesy boy? You care about creativity, do you? Well why not do something about it then? Cut out your larynx and chop off your arms for God’s sake. And, to be honest, the industry can’t be that concerned with what’s "cool", otherwise you would still be getting severe yet justified beatings in the army barracks instead of winging about wise men on a beach with hardons.

Sometimes you just have to take responsibility for your actions.
Had a little bit too much to drink and made a fool of yourself? Call up your friends and say sorry. Bumped into a parked car and left a dent? Stick a note under the window wiper with a set of contact details and your humblest apologies. It just makes the world a nicer place, people.
Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Some of you may have done things so hideous over the course of your lives that you'll never, ever, ever tell another soul for as long as you remain on this planet. For example – if you were responsible for launching the career of singer-songwriter James Blunt, we really wouldn't hold it against you if you kept that revelation on the quiet side. In fact, if you ever want a place to hide out, we've got a lovely basement you could use. Provided you don't mind sharing it with K.T Tunstall's agent, that is.
Ex-4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry holds no such fear, however. She'll scream from the rooftops that she set James Blunt on the path to superstardom. In fact, she's no angry with not being credited for helping out the Maestro Of Mediocrity that she's suing Warner Music for millions of dollars.
