It is funny how a weekend can go from absolutely rubbish to fantastic over the space of 90 minutes (94 actually, including injury time) of Premiership football. Rather than go into the details, I can just say Saturday was a downer. However, it is nice to have alternative distractions. Normally I would just jump on the computer and listen to my mp3s. Now, I can sit down and practice the piano, which is what I decided to do on yesterday afternoon. It was time well spent and it was nice to switch off from all the real life concerns.

I first heard the song in Chris’ car on the last Saturday of January, a few weeks back. He was singing along, tapping the steering wheel of his Ibiza Cupra. I have to admit, I liked the song. We listened to it a second time on the drive back to his house. But it has taken JT, three single releases to be be picked up on my musical radar. I did not like the first two singles. They both seemed the same were nothing new, in my humble opinion. The video is released tomorrow, with heavy buildup on a handful of the music television channels. They show a brief preview clip but reveal it will be premiered on Monday. I is not about Britney Spears (from what Justin tells us) but I generally like the idea of what comes around, goes around. Perhaps even more so after this weekend.

Talking of music, my youngest sister Julie, spotted a music video on MTV Base. I had seen the song before, and new the chorus vaguely. However, it my sister who gave the final piece of the jigsaw. It was Nathan, I had already obtained one of his other songs, “Come Into My Room” which is okay but nothing special in my opinion. However, this song, “Do Without My Love”, is something else. The melody and the chorus and the quality of his vocals are immense. Although the video is reminiscent of NeYo’s Sexy Love, I will forgive him. The lyrics are amazing and I have been half tempted to order the debut album, Masterpiece from Amazon. It is great to see a UK artist making such fresh music, I hope he gets the breaks he deserves in the RnB scene very soon. Some would say he is nearly there, if two of his singles have had wide airplay across the digital satellite channels. Although, he has a little work to do, no page on Wikipedia yet.

While we are talking about music, I should give a final review. Or perhaps rather a concluding review on my Creative Zen Vision:M. It is absolutely fantastic. Now I have a practical leather case, using the device on the road is easy. I also reorganised my music collection, so all the mp3s were ones I enjoyed listening to and kept the need to skip tracks to a minimum. The case ensures everything is protected while in my pocket but I can still take it out, open the flap and adjust the volume and then put it back into my pocket. No major fuss. The Bose in-ear headphones makes all the difference. The sound reproduction is amazing, with a more full body in the music, rather than the tinny sound you get from the factory ear phones. I just need to add some more of my favourite tunes. There are plenty of music videos, just not really bothered to watch any, while on the move. Do not need to be a show off (or give out the signal, please steal this toy). Ultimately every happy with this purchase and it very much deserves it’s MM rating of five stars.
