 "Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
 
 But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
 
 Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
 
 PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
 
 Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
 
 Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
 
 Brain Power: 200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
 
 Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
 
 Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
 
 Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief."

 "The Christmas song I very first emailed you about has been selected for inclusion in an educational book and CD for release in America for release in 2006 on a licensing deal that still allows me to put the song with other artistes.  ( I know you hate Xmas songs )

Another one of my songs has been short listed for a promotional video by a recording artist and there is a possibility of another track going on his album I am just sending him the backing only so he can do a test vocal on the song.

Charts:

USA [my thanks to Charles in the USA for supplying this]

(2) Run It!  Chris Brown [Jive]

(3) Photograph, Nickelback [Roadrunner]

UK

1)  Artic Monkeys - 'I Bet Your Look Good On The Dance Floor'

For once the normal chart was ahead of the download chart....yep, the download is exactly as the normal was last week.

For the first time in a long time you average casual observer will glance at the very top of the singles chart and have a genuine "who the hell are they?" moment. For the first time in a long time we have a genuine shock, in your face, in from nowhere record sitting pretty at the very top of the singles chart. True, nobody had really heard of the Pussycat Dolls before they hit the top last month but it had at least picked up some mainstream coverage before its release. No, this week is different.

The Arctic Monkeys are perhaps the first ever example of a group shot to stardom thanks to little more than internet word of mouth. Alex, Jamie, Andy and Matt hail from Sheffield and made their first record earlier this year - a limited edition EP entitled 'Five Minutes With The Arctic Monkeys'.

   Mic. advice needed.

Hi Dec

Which Mic. should I use for live gigs.?

Is there any internet info or lesson on how to sing into a microphone.
I'm finally getting more respect for the singing part of entertaining ( i
play acoustic guitar and sing ).
I've often heard that a microphone should be played like an instrument. >
