Everything, Everything

I was listening to Radio 1 last night and Scott Mills played a track that reminded me of the ending of Denmark by The Chemical Brother. I can't remember the new song, but it's probably one of "those" bands, and I'm sure I'll hear it again in the next few days. I'd forgotten how good the album Come With Us is, it's fairly mainstream (but less so than a couple of their other albums) and very catchy. I have a couple of their tracks stuck in my head, such as Hoops (I'm going to have to listen to it now, just to get it out of my head). It also brings back fond memories of university. That second year was hard work, but I loved living with Fay and Rhiannon, and it was the last time I spent a lot of time with Steve. I miss Beth Orton too, her solo work, her vocals on The Chemical Brothers tracks, and her work with William Orbit. I bought the last album, of hers, but I don't listen to it much. I like the older tracks, especially the stuff she played live on Radio 1 that originally got me into her (might have been 17th March, 1997, Mary Anne Hobbs Session, when she almost choked to death on some garlic?). I had no idea until just now that she was offered to audition for the role of John Cusack's girlfriend in the film High Fidelity.

Does anyone else find it a bit odd that Lily Allen (22) is dating Chemical Ed (37)? I think we all know that the "half your age plus seven" rule doesn't allow that, Ed should be dating someone that's at least 25 and a half.
