Scrambled Eggs

Scrambled Eggs is the name of my imaginary Breakfast show, actually the 10 songs (on average) that come up on random play during my journey to work each morning. I am quite proud of the eclectic randomness.

Have been amusing myself with the latest craze sweeping Facebook, namely the design-your-first album-cover game. Basically you need to:-

  • Go to Wikipedia and hit Random Article and take the names of the article. That is your band name
  • Go to Quote of the Day and get it to generate a page of random quotes. Take the last 3-5 words of the very last quote. That is your Album name
  • Go to Flickr and call up the Last 7 Days and pick the 3rd picture
  • Arrange your album in PhotoShop or similar
Here's my first effort.


The Superman/Batman Adventures are a spiky Indie band with a devoted cult following on the Isle of Sheppey. No Loss of Enthusiasm is their debut album. Unlike most Garage Bands, TSBA kept it real by recording in an actual garage, thus accounting for the background ambience of spanners, ratchets, swearing and air guns. This only adds to the prevailing atmos and general grease-under-the-fingernails vibe of the whole affair.

I have another one waiting in the wings, which I'm actually very proud of.

In other news, I have been alternately angry, exasperated, numb and finally profoundly disinterested in the the whole Sir Fred Goodwin affair. I've decided that the rank hypocrisy of our elected representatives, not to mention the snout-in-the trough greediness of the aforementioned gentleman is beneath my boredom threshold.

It's a little known fact that Sir Fred's initials are actually FAG and that he used to get really upset if he saw his initials as such on internal memoranda etc.

Bert, I wish I knew Fred was FAG. Had I known that while I was working there, I might have climbed up that greasy pole quicker.
