Fri 12 Dec 2006Music for the massesYEAH yeah, yeah, we know what you're like. There's nothing on the telly and there's nothing you fancy going out to see. You want to stay in because it's snowing outside, you haven't had the notion to wash your hair, you've finished your book, the magazines are all full of the same old claptrap about how to look like your favourite celeb without spending more than 50 notes, and plastic surgery is out of the question. (It's not that you can't afford it, it's just that you really like the way you look. And besides, look what happened to Mickey Rourke).So waddya gonna do? Well, we have some options for you in the areas of viewing and listening. Some you'll love, some you'll laugh at. But remember: one person's joke is another person's sad story.
