You may or may not remember that a while ago, I tried to move to Myspace, but gave up for technical reasons. Well, I've finally worked out how to work the darn thing. So this time I'm officially moving. Of course, I'll keep this blog in order to post comments to Nathan Kwok. So here's my new address: http://www.myspace.com/only_music Enjoy! cheers, Eva p.s. On myspace, I'm Beck. I thought it was time to use the shortened version of my real name.

Rated PG13. Medium violence, Necessary drug references, Humorous nudity, Really Really Bad Jokes. Bonjour. I am Eva and you’re standing on the doorstep of Le Club de Jazz. And in reply to your rude and pertinent questioning, yes, that is the correct French. Francais, if you prefer. I know because I asked John Foreman (henceforth known simply as Foreman), and he knows these things. Because, clearly, he is French. Only French people have voices that sound like Kermit the Frog. Because Kermit the Frog is French too. Because he’s a frog. But he migrated to America when he got the gig on Sesame Street. Therefore, by logical deduction, our friend Foreman is definitely French. Well, actually, he’s also Jewish. That’s why he likes my jokes. By the way, have you ever noticed how bad comedians tell bad jokes and then tell bad jokes about telling bad jokes? So now I’m wondering if that makes me a bad comedian, because I’m telling a bad joke about other bad ...

I don’t know how or why this topic popped into my mind. But it did. And so I spent a good hour or so imagining what type of candy certain singers would eat and why. Here we go: Kelly Clarkson : Starburst – unexpected tangy explosions. Micheal Bublé : Lindt seashells – it doesn’t get smoother than this. Norah Jones : Caramel Dove – subtle and delicate, with a gooey-sweet centre. Richard Marx : Crunch – perfect combination of smooth chocolate and crunchy biscuit. Delta Goodrem : Jelly beans – instant sugar high. Hilary Duff : Bubblegum – will pop if stretched too far. Missy Higgins : After-Dinner Mint – a fresh taste after too much steak and potatoes. Jamie Cullum : M&Ms – bite-sized bursts of energy that don’t melt when the heat is on. John Mayer : Snickers bar – smooth on the outside, but a nutty mess inside.

How far back can I turn the turn-table? This is the question. Recently, my life seems to primarily consist of me discovering new (but usually old) music and musicians. And don't get me wrong, I love it. But I'm beginning to feel the path may be too long. Let me illustrate by talking about myself in the third person: Eva was once sitting in the car, listening to the radio. A new song began to play. It distracted Eva from the traffic lights and the road and the mini-vans. (Luckily, her mum was driving at the time...) What was this morsel of audible delight? Eva was so excited about the song that, when it ended, she almost missed the radio announcer saying that it was by a young American guy called John Mayer... So, the conundrum is how did Eva start by listening to No Such Thing and end up listening to Miles Davis? I can tell you now, the story is the equivalent of a five-hundred-page novel, involving Australian Idol , Pharrell Williams, the Gershwins, lots of ...
