Nine Million Bicycles Under The Sea
A good wine, they say, needs no bush. But a rubbish one? That'd need all the bush you can muster.
In other words: the stuntier someone is, the less distinctive you'll usually find their music to be. Something to consider as we hear that Katie Melua is planning to play the world's deepest gig, 100 metres below the North Sea, at an oil rig.
Why play a gig so far below the surface? There's no real reason, nor explanation - Melua describes the planned event as "pretty cool" but that's about as far as it goes. It seems to be little other than a stunt; the Guiness Book a way of gathering press coverage when there's little novelty in the music to capture the attention.
Still, there's always the hope that this inspires James Blunt to attempt a gig in the red-hot, magma-bubbling core of a volcano or something.

Seems like the attempt has now been successfully completed. But why did no one think to cut off the air supply while she was down there? Surely a recording of Katie Melua drowning would outsell any of her other recordings by about nine million to one. I'd buy it, anyway. What a sweet, sweet sound that would be.
