In the 30 minutes I spent waiting for a girlfriend to come meet me for dinner tonight, I bought 2 long chunky necklaces, a pair of dangling earrings, as well as a CD (Mika's "Life in Cartoon Motion"). The last was an impulse buy; they were playing this album when I was wandering round Gramophone and the music sounded cheesily catchy.

Anyway, when I got home and searched online for the album review, I found this Pitchfork review (which rated the album 1.5 out of 10). I don't think I've ever bought anything rated so low by Pitchfork before. Eek.
