		<title>For Marco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Taking us slightly but unashamedly off piste from our usual bloggings on music and travel, Joe has written a tribute to his MotoGP hero Marco Simoncelli, who sadly died yesterday in Malaysia. There is a code that motorcycle fans use to describe racing accidents. &#8217;A crash&#8217; generally means that the rider walked away. &#8216;A bad crash&#8217; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Won&#8217;t You Come Back, Lily Dale</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sad day. We lost a very dear four-legged friend and family member. Lily the Weimaraner was a special dog &#8211; faithful and loving, mischievous, with schnuggles at the ready whenever they were needed. She may also be the only Weimaraner named after a Bob Wills song. One thing we&#8217;re sure of: she&#8217;s the only dog [...]]]></description>

		<title>Australian Idolatry (Chris)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As an album of Christian music outsells Beyonce and Lady Gaga down under, now seemed like a good time to audio-blog my experience earlier this year discovering Australia’s fastest-growing Pentecostal mega church – Hillsong. Prime Minister Julia Gillard may be a confirmed atheist, but if the Australian music-buying public is anything to go by, she’s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Friends of long standing will know how desperate eager we have been, since Live Fast, Die Young: Misadventures in Rock &#38; Roll America was published in the UK last year, that it should become available in the US.

		<description><![CDATA[Regular readers will know about another rock and roll journey I made to America and Australia earlier this year which, fingers crossed, will become a second book. Living it up down under I met and recorded some of Australia&#8217;s biggest names in music, and came back with hours and hours of juicy audio. Some of it will turn up [...]]]></description>
