The Comet Returns

I woke up to a comic sized package waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs, but when I opened it to read about the latest escapades of Booster Gold and his Justice League International I was in for a shock. For lurking inside the package wasn’t a comic, it was something far stranger and magical; the sound of a ghost train slithering through a spaghetti western with eerie ad-libs and shouts spewing over the sides like Bonejangles and his Bone Boys doing “Ghost Riders in the Sky”. 

Of course, it’s the new epic Flipron single “The Comet Returns”, the ad-libs and shouts coming from the legendary Specials front man Neville Staple. It will be released 10th September via Tiny Dog Records with the new album Firework Shoes following in October, so save your pennies to get a seat on the ride!

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!
