This week PetStarr puts her finger on two important trends in contemporary Australian life:
... this "slack moll slurring" (as Raoul puts it) is an epidemic in modern music. Lisa Mitchell (aka Shuffles McBalletflats) was famous for it in Idol 2006, and Sarah Blasko's not immune, either. Can't we take all these birds to June Dally Watkins and make them prance around the room with books on their heads and marbles in their mouths, singing "The rain in spain falls mainly on the plain" until they learn?
Madam apparently moved from New Zealand to Australia to "make a better life" for her and her child. This angers Sooty, who screams "She's acting as if New Zealand is a fucking savage outpost!" She has a point. I mean, what did she do when she arrived in Sydney? "What be those horseless, metallic chariots? And what be this light that comes from a globe when all else around be dark? Ooh Australia be a far advanced land, for certain!"

The slack moll slurring really annoys me. When she sang that Jason Mraz (or however you spell it) song I couldn't understand a word she was saying. Then I heard the real version and discovered how badly she'd sung it.
Little Tom is going to annoy me until he gets voted off. I suspect he will be annoying me for some time. I so want to cut and comb his hair. I feel so old now.
