God (pictured, left, candidly straddling a boombox over the weekend) works in mysterious ways. She delivers joy, but whilst you are celebrating, she quite rudely rips something away from you. Unfortunately because of her general greatness, you just cannot question her madness--as they say, there is obviously a method to it and who am I to judge a decision God Almighty herself has made. It still saddens me though.

Let's start with the bad news. It seems that the totally amazing Samuel, who runs the totally amazing Hotstufffiles (it's all one bloody word!) has closed down his gorgeous labour of love for good. THIS UPSETS ME GREATLY. Over the past year it has been an absolute pleasure chatting to the lovely Samuel about nonsensical garbage like Jay-Z's role in Rihanna's "Umbrella," Girls Aloud flunking it down under, and other fabulous tomfoolery. He even allowed me to scribble my own series of shit for a couple of weeks in an accidentally ill-fated weekly column. So thank you Samuel, your site has provided me with much entertainment and laughs over the last 12 months plus, and it is incredibly sad to see you go.

NOW for the hand that giveth! You may remember how mortified I was when Popalastic closed its doors earlier in the year. Thankfully, they have come to their senses and taken note that the interweb's median land price's have sunk to an all time low since their self-imposed eviction from the world of pop and--in order to save us all--are returning with a totally jazzed up new look. Huzzah! You can read the exciting message of hope for yourself (complete with peacock-friendly photography) here.

Thank you for the music, Goodbye my friend, bye bye Miss American Pie; we'll miss you Hotstufffiles. Welcome back Popalastic.
