Why Will Young's desperate to be a daddy.

 

Ten years on: Will Young's new mature style

Will Young, who became a star after beating Gareth Gates to win the first Pop Idol, has a new album, Echoes, out on Monday,  in an interview with the Mail in the UK he tells of his new album and how he really wants to be a daddy!

The new album isn’t all plastic pop or sad ballads - he’s gone for intimate, atmospheric electronics on an ambitious yet classy set of songs, opted to sing in a higher register than we’re used to and employed a tough new producer, Richard X.

Loco Luke's Luscious Lads Is Back

 

Blog Review.

A worrying development over the last few months has been the disappearance of some of the best loved gay blogs on the net.  All hosted on the Google owned ‘blogger’ platform, some have been removed by their owners, but most seem to be disabled and removed by Google.  Why, is anyone’s guess,  Google warn it’s a terms of service issue breach, or it’s excessive spam, or it’s copyright infringements.  Loco Luke’s little blog was one such blog that just vanished over night, no advance warning, no notice, just disabled by the hosts Blogger.     We asked Google why, why they had removed a blog that didn’t have advertising, didn’t carry nudity, didn’t feature any illegal or offensive or had any complaint of copyright breaches,  we’re still waiting for a reply.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation with Google and the attack on gay blogs, but for the moment we are pleased to report the return of Loco Luke’s delightful blog, albeit on a different blogging platform.
