Blue Tack Baby!

Stumbled upon this nugget via Eddie Argos, gonna play this at least 3 times at my next shindig! Providing I win my appeal against my worldwide Discotheque ban for crimes against ‘trad’ that is. Wish me luck.

I Fucked The Queen

Back on the road tomorrow for some discotheque action at London’s finest indie night; If You Tolerate BIS, Kenickie Will Be Next. Neil and Anna are guest DJs and I might hit the decks for a hardcore Rick Astley session if i'm not spotted early on and end up being man-marked by a 7ft bouncer with a skinhead. If the latter applies you'll find me dancing like Dean Moriarty in a brothel to the sounds of sweet sweet Pop music.

Don't forget its jubilee weekend...

So get your t-shirts here, your gimp suites here and bring your best plans for the desturction of the monarchy!

Good Weekend

Went to London for the weekend and came back with 17 new favourite pubs, 10 new favourite ales, a new favourite Indie Disco in 'If You Tolerate Bis, Kenickie Will Be Next', and a comedown worse than the one encountered after a week of eating rhino tranquiliser sandwiches.

I Guess Things Happen That Way

“It happens sometimes. Friends come in and out of our lives, like busboys in a restaurant.”

The subtle sadness of a childhood ebbing endlessly away lingers evoking melancholic nostalgia. Suddenly it seems the people you used to see everyday on the streets and in the parks are not there anymore, people change, friends drift apart and go separate ways where the road splits, some will never meet again and not feel a thing, others will remain eternally connected even if they no longer know where to find one another. Kermit the frog had it on lockdown: “Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it”. I don't like it, but i guess things happen that way.
