Review of Play for Today by Ultrasound

This is a bit weird. One of my old teachers (Ms Best) has released an album (Play for Today) with her band (Ultrasound). I suppose I should be relieved that it was a music teacher rather than, say, a geography teacher.

I bought the album.

I hadn't heard any of the tracks or read any reviews, but I felt I had to buy it out of a odd sense of loyalty.

I'm glad I did though as the album is very good. It sounds well produced and all of the tracks have an epic feel to them. In a GCSE music lesson Ms Best once told us 'Don't shit in your own back garden', and she seems to have followed her own advice here.

For me, the stand out track is 'Between Two Rivers', which just hit me perfectly.


Here is a picture from the back cover of Ms Best pretending to apply make up.

It also came with some free stickers but I have absolutely no idea what to do with them.
Either way it's a decent album.

5 stars.

Bad Combinations

I know it's basically good to try new things. (Except things like murder obviously).

But recently I only seem to try things that are a combination of things that shouldn't ever be mixed. 

Exhibit A.

Macaroni Pie.

I happened to be in Scotland recently and saw this in Greggs.
My first thought was "Macaroni Cheese‽ In a pie‽ That sounds incredible!".
I know that a lot of people would of thought "Macaroni Cheese‽ In a pie‽ That sounds horrible!".
And they would be right.
It was disgusting, I could barely finish it, if I wasn't so hungry I wouldn't have.
For the sake of your own well being please never eat one.

Exhibit B.

Several weeks later I saw this in a pub.
Well, I like stout, and I like Chocolate. I expected it to taste like a fancy Hot Chocolate. Instead it was just a bit urrggg.
It wasn't as bad a the Macaroni Pie, but then again nothing is as bad as the Macaroni Pie.

I should of really learned something from this but if I ever see Ice Cream flavoured pizza, there is no way that I'm not trying it.
