Tapes and tapes

I can't write ... anything. Apart from quiz questions. I've tried various times in the last month or so to come up with something for this blog but I've got nothing.

Here have been my ideas - they're good ideas ...

• Let's treat the careers of our favourite bands as if they're tenpin bowling games.
• Common People vs A Design for Life: Compare and Contrast
• What do people really want from a festival headliner?
• What is the perfect support act?
• Lines that burst out of songs, starting with "Michigan seems like a dream to me now ..."

Hopefully those blogs will come in time, but I'm all out of prose style.
