The missing link between Kylie, the WWF, and the disappearance of my sanity
In the days before my brothers' musical taste began to improve (generally due to age increasing), the family car featured a Telstar-style TV themes compilation tape featuring "Slam Jam" by the WWF Superstars.
Unfortunately, this got played fairly regularly. ISTR that this was also directly up next to "Mr. Blobby", a godawful song on its own, although I can't track down the exact tape in question on the 'net. This tape could probably make Gandhi turn violent.
The WWF song itself was released on PWL, and as such was written by Stock, Aitken and Waterman (the biggest orangutans of the 1980s, the 1990s and possibly the century to come). They were also responsible for "Especially For You", another song that makes me retch profusely.
Pete Waterman has been responsible for so much hate, destruction and misery, hasn't he? And One True Voice, of course. For that, he deserves total and utter ridicule.
EDIT: A little bit of further investigation reveals that the album in question was 100% Kids, in its cassette version. It really does look as bad as I remember it, doesn't it? Also, it was on Telstar.
Will I inflict the cover on you as well?

I am a Microsoft Technical Beta Tester (sad, I know)
As a result, I have all sorts of weird stuff dating back to about 1998, including the Windows XP Service Pack 2 commemorative edition (which is just a normal SP2 disc with a "thank you" printed on the cover); Technical Beta Special Edition CDs of Windows 98, 98SE and Me; Windows Millennium Post-It notes (before Microsoft realised the name was too naff, initialled it and rushed it to the shelves) and a Windows 98 polo shirt. Plus random Corel T-shirts.
I also own a massive hoarding poster from last year's Edinburgh International Film Festival, which is surprisingly effective, and the very first (signed) demo CD by some schoolfriends of mine who now support bands like Biffy Clyro. And a lovely fast-food style carrier bag I got when I bought the last Radiohead album.
Of course, nothing I own can beat Safetyfox's Cunard ad.

That's "Hurry Up Harry" by Sham 69. There were worse punk tunes, by all means...
