Scratch that idea then
3 days to go to Christmas and I still have to get something for my brother and my sister-in-law. I even went so far as to ask her what she might fancy, to which she responded, 'oh, you know, a book or a CD'. Which is the single most useless suggestion ever because I've known her for a decade and a half and I've always got her a book or a CD. It's basically what I do with anyone (although obviously, it's far easier to get presents for people I know well, and actually like). I thought about the new Norah Jones CD for her, because it strikes me as being suitably middle of the road, but reading the reviews it seems to be about the collapse of a relationship, and given the not entirely happy state of their marriage it might not be the most thoughtful present. Bugger.
I don't know. Micheal Bubble maybe? That's about as middle of the road as you can get. (Hell, it's a shame that Coldplay doesn't have a new album out. That'd be perfect). Or I could go the other way and buy her a Slayer or a Napalm Death CD. That'd teach her to be more specific.
Oh well, sitting here isn't going to get it done. God it's horrible outside. Wish me luck (and if anyone has any suggestions, that'd be good too).
Happy Christmas, all.

You could try John Barrowman (Another Side is the best imo) as he's nice and middle-of-the-road, but has a great voice and a lovely interpretation of classic covers. Yeah, I like him too...maybe I should give up goth and start going to W.I. meetings...
With people that are hard to buy for I generally go for wine!

Definitely going for the John Barrowman CD, once I can force myself out into the rain and the cold. (And hey, no shame at all; I rather like Taylor Swift, which is just embarrassing, but I don't care :)).
How are you? Was sorry not to see you at the NMA gig. Did you enjoy?
(I didn't get around to commenting because I was at work, but the pictures you posted yesterday were fabulous. You looked lovely).
