'Ecky thump!

Amazing facts about April 27:
» It's a bumper day for birthdays! Howard Donald, one of several members of Take That with a speech impediment, is 33 and still working as a DJ. Sheena Easton, meanwhile, hits 44 (although the age of her Sugar Walls is less immediately obvious). Kate Pierson of the B-52s in 55. She is notable because she was once charged with the splendid offence of criminal mischief after an anti-fur protest. And Jack Klugman, who was the mighty Quincy, is 81. Before becoming an actor, he worked in a post office.
» On this day in 2000, Britney Spears revealed that she was still a virgin, and intended to remain one for the forseeable future. We don't want to question her powers of foresight, so we will pass no further comment on this statement.
» In 1992, James Brown filed a £10m lawsuit against his record company for the mental distraa caused to him by hearing 'I Feel Good' in advertisements. Who fancies getting up a class action suit against Lynx for their recent advertising abomination?
» We're running out of random expressions of surprise to use in this section every day. If you can think of a good one, let us know.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
