But that's setting the bar pretty low.</p> <p>I have a small confession to make: I am not entirely disinterested in this matter (note disinterested not uninterested). My mum came home from her art history evening course telling me that the leecturer's son has brought out a CD on his own label and what did I think? I listened for a few minutes and declared it to be 'nothing special' and that there were a lot of these sorts of 'sensitive singer songwriter' types about at the moment.</p> <p>Yes, you guessed what comes next - historically speaking - to my extreme embarrassment. </p> <p>But, all this aside, I still don't <em>get it</em>. (neither do I understand the appeal of Ed Sheeran's music - b'boom tish!) </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43797#post-125314 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:56:22 +0000 Scroat 125314@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>He was ok - the rest of the concert was crap. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43797#post-125305 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 06:35:29 +0000 Gerontius 125305@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>More top notch larking,<br /> At least the lad was able to make the stage without some sort of orthopedic device or a carer. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43797#post-125299 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 05:58:36 +0000 dvo4fun 125299@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>yep, same as wot he said </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43797#post-125283 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 22:12:44 +0000 Vertically Challenged Giant 125283@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I quite like what I've heard of the little ginger's music.</p> <p>I like this too though, so have some stars. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=43797#post-125247 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:07:39 +0000 Skylarking 125247@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Physicists say they are close to understanding one of the greatest conundrums of recent decades: why unremarkable Suffolk songwriter Ed Sheeran has achieved massive commercial success. The breakthrough came after physicists in Cern accidentally accessed a parallel universe to our own where the singer is about to start a City and Guilds qualification in Portable Appliance Testing after a year out travelling around Canada.</p> <p>The alternate dimension had initially appeared to be identical to our own. However, after further investigation it was discovered that in the alternate universe, the carrot-topped purveyor of winsome sixth form songsmithery was busking outside of WH Smiths in the Suffolk village of Woodbridge. His place at this week's Jubilee concert was taken by a middle-aged man from Framlingham playing Mumford and Sons tunes on a Pennywhistle. The mad pensioner jiggling a hula hoop was, however, present at both versions of the concerts.</p> <p>Quantum Physicists are speculating that 'Sheeran's Paradox' could revolutionise understanding of our place in the multiverse: 'Fundamental quantum theory and Heidenberg's Uncertainty Principle suggest that each such discrete universe will throw up a few minor but inexplicable anomolies such as Fern Cotton, teenagers sporting beards to look 'deep' and Maroon 5' explains Clive Silf, Professor of Theoretical Physics at Aberdeen University 'They exist because, logically speaking they have to <em>somewhere</em>.' </p> <p>Individuals tempted to migrate to the newly-discovered Sheeran-less existence are being discouraged by Cern's physicists: 'I should stress that the sub-atomic process necessary to transfer a sentient creature across the divide separating our realities is highly dangerous.' cautioned Prof Philippe Dubois from the Institute. 'Leaving physics to one side, I should add that we discovered that the so-called 'Jubilee Concert' in this reality was actually a inaugural concert for 'President' George Galloway. On reflection, we're telling punters that it's just not worth the risk.' </p>
