  1. So the Haute & Freddy album dropped today! Being on a major label you can't, of course, buy a lossless download of it. Fortunately the Internet provides.

    For me the bangerist of an album of bangers is Shy Girl with its pulsating bass throb that develops into the third repetition of the refrain to get you off your arse and dancing.

  2. BLANCHE HERBERT, LADY TROY (previously BLANCHE MILBO(U)RNE, BLANCHE WHITNEY) (died c. 1557), Lady Mistress of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and Queen Mary

    'She was in charge of the upbringing of Elizabeth I, Edward VI and also of Queen Mary when she lived with the younger Tudor children. Therefore she was the Lady Mistress for Elizabeth and Edward, the title accorded to the lady who controlled the household. Her funeral elegy, composed by Lewys Morgannwg, includes the lines: Arglwyddes breninesau, / Gofrner oedd ban oedd yn iau [(She was a) Lady (in charge) of Queens, A governess she was in her youth].' -- Ruth Elizabeth Richardson
