The weekend entertainment
Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks
It’s been ages since I featured a music video here, but during the last week I’ve steeped myself in some old Fleetwood Mac albums and spent a fair bit of time listening to Sheryl Crow on Spotify, so what better entertainment than watching them both together performing Gold Dust Woman in 1999?
Incidentally, if you use the Firefox browser, can I recommend the Download Helper extension which allows you to grab videos from nearly all of your favourite video sites and convert them into a format (on the fly if you like) that you can use i.e. .wmv for Media Player, .avi, .mp4, .flv, etc so you can then export the videos to your phone or video enabled .mp3 player – very cool.
So if you are having trouble sleeping you could get yourself a set of David Miliband videos and let the South Shields MP send you off, how cool is that?

One drawback to the download helper extension is that it can stall YouTube. Not just the videos but searching the site and opening links, especially when you are flicking through videos. I’ve found you can minimise this by setting the ‘force detection’ and ‘ignore’ settings pretty high.
On the music side, I think Sheryl Crow was up there with the best with Tuesday Night Music Club. Unfortunately she plummeted immediately after.
I’m glad I got to see her and her band’s first two brilliant (public) UK gigs in very small venues before she became an ‘arena artist’.
