I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and got everything you could ever possibly want, without reason. Now it is back to business (or as businesslike as it ever gets round here) and first on the agenda is the very sad news that Mr Aceness Himself (aka Edward O) is sadly closing down his brilliant site Enthusiastic But Mediocre. He is definitely one of the best pop writers I’ve ever come across and has introduced me to many of my favourite songs – without him I wouldn’t be half as Euro-obsessed or half as knowledgeable about Europop. So 3 cheers for Mr O and lets hope he’s not away too long!
