Perfect and beige - Alex
Today I'm in an amazing mood. The sun is shining, James Brown is playing, my best friend is home and more than anything else I have an iced coffee. Made by yours truly I consider it a glass of refreshing beige perfection. Seeing as the pleasant weather is new to the area I thought I'd go the extra mile and drizzle some chocolate sauce down the inside of the glass, in time the presentation of my cold caffeine hits decreases, next I'll move down to sprinkling cocoa powder on the top. Then maybe the occasional chocolate chip, and in time my cups will reduce to a simple chilled beige fluid and large slabs of ice. Anyway I must move away from this topic, as I am contracted to entertaining you for a few minutes a day I assume I shall have to introduce a newer and more substantial topic. Stevie Wonder, or more broadly, Motown. As a true Undercover Brother fan I own the 'Motown 50' album, consisting of 50 tracks that fans voted the best Motown songs, and 11 cover tracks. Whilst some songs from the majestic compilation are a little obscure to pop fans/numpties I find that every song fills me with happiness and joy. Lionel Richie's 'All Night Long' has me tapping my foot rhythmically, as for Stevie's 'Sir Duke', well lets just say that I cannot ever think about frowning whilst listening to that booty shaking, trumpet filled melody. Edwin Starr's 'War' is an anthem full of gusto and aggression, perfect for pumping me up before a duel, and the 5 tracks featuring Marvin Gaye all cement his place as someone who was really good at singing songs. I strongly encourage anyone with a soul to buy it, even if you are ginger like me and therefore don't have a soul it will still make you feel things that you thought were reserved for people who society cared about. Although a last word to any other ginger people, THE SUN HATES US.
