FUCK ME FACTS!

Amazing things about Tuesday, March 23:
» "Lady Madonna" by The Beatles was released and went straight to number one in 1968 . . .
» . . . and 35 years later, the film "Swept Away", starring Madonna, claimed five Razzies at the Alternative Oscars, including a trophy for the worst picture of 2002.
» Elvis Presley set a new UK record of three consecutive number one singles in 1961, the trio being "It's Now or Never", "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" and "Wooden Heart".
» Kaboom! The troubled Mir space station crashed to earth three years ago today.
» The film Titanic won 11 Oscars on this day in 1998. Please celebrate by throwing a stereo playing Celine Dion into the sea, and lobbing ice cubes at a picture of Leonardo DiCaprio.
» Happy birthday to: Chaka Khan! Chaka-Chaka-Cha-Cha-Chaka Khan! The "I Feel For You" and "Ain't Nobody" singer turns 51 today. Also celebrating is Australian actress Gayle Blakeney (38), who played Christina Robinson in Neighbours. Hang on! Surely that means . . . yes! . . . her twin sister, Gillian, is also 38 today (she played Caroline Alessi). The youngest of the batch today is our mid-90s object of desire, Blur singer/songwriter Damon Albarn, who's 36.
» Unsettling fact of the day: In the original Grimm brothers' Snow White tale, the wicked queen was condemned to dance in red hot iron shoes until she died.

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.
