the most glorious holiday destination in all England

Man alive we've had a lot of press over the past couple of days (we as in Folkestone, rather than me personally), it's been great. The weekend of Triennial events itself was good and there was a real buzz about the town. I'm not entirely sure that it...

Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Hope you've all had as good an extended weekend as I have. As is usual when I've been off for a few days and not written up just went on immediately, I'm starting to forget it all. We're up now, on the last day of our five day break and I have a few ...

It is all work work work

Really enjoyed my first week in the new job, it's a great place and a good crowd. And I'm not just writing this in case anyone there remembered the url from my CV and decides to investigate at some point. I even achieved something in my first week, I...

Web 2.0

Thinking about myspace again today, as I looked at it yesterday, there was some piece in the guardian today about how Q Magazine "hilariously" made up a band and generated a buzz about them using myspace. I am a bit out of touch with modern pop music...

Ticket to Rye

RE: Clubbing in the week

Pubbing for me. The Portland Arms yesterday was buzzing. Weird. On a Thursday. And I too feel right shite.

Oh, perhaps the busy pub was cos of John Peel Night. There were bands playing and that.

Restored to full health, and wealth, beside the sea

The Telegraph does a feature on Folkestone property... Good work! They say:For several very good reasons, this town is abuzz. The Channel Tunnel is just up the road, its high-speed rail link to London is being extended into Folkestone's two stations ...

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

What the Bubble Got Right

An article by Paul Graham that is doing the rounds... here's my favourite bit:"When I drive down 101 from the airport, I still feel a buzz of energy, as if there were a giant transformer nearby."...

There, on the stair

Forgot to mention, yesterday morning we found a little surprise in our kitchen cupboard, one mouse, deceased. It's only the cupboard we keep tins in, as we've had evidence of mice before, so it looks like the little feller got in, couldn't find any f...

So, is Black Steel due a rerelease then?

There's a real buzz about the Tricky version of "Black Steel" right now, is it going to be re-released? I remember this as being GINORMOUS at the time, but I've heard from a few music fans just recently who weren't familiar with it, so maybe it wasn'...

Darkness playing Reading

And you all scoffed when I started going on about this band... Right, the mighty Darkness follow hot on the heals of signing a hundred billion pound record deal with satan himself (or something, details are still sketchy) with a slot at Reading and L...

YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP

Saw The Darkness and The Def Leppard last night at Brixton Academy and it rocked me to an ear buzzing state of near deafness...Was pleasantly surprised by how the Def Leppard crowd took to the Darkness, the boys from Lowestoft had this capacity soft ...

Live review

The Cooper Temple Clause at the 100 Club were very large indeed last night... it was hot, and also nice and crowded, though not absolutely packed out. I have a new favourite tune, but after a few lagers (last night, not this morning) I can't remember...

I would go out tonight...

Ah sod it, I WILL go out tonight... just got my eleventh hour confirmation of a Cooper Temple Clause @ The 100 Club ticket for tonight, and that makes me a happy man... The debut single is out (though all sold out in a few hours), and there is a real...

Her real name is Emma J (I'm not telling you her last name!). And she was having a beer a minute ago and also she was on the Mark Lammar's BBC show : Never mind the Buzzcocks. Please Email me back and tell me what you think

Cooper Temple Clause @ The Water Rats

Let's start on a downer: Their name, it is RUBBISH. There are SIX of them, that is rubbish. They are look like an indie boyband, that is rubbish. One of them (guitarist Tom Bellamy) was playing whilst sitting on the floor messing about with some mad ...

CENSORSHIP!

Ha, Hefner were riding high in Steve Lamacq's Buzz Chart until last night when they got BANNED because of some, uh "over zealous" voting by fans...Other popEx acts still in the running are Midfield General, Grandaddy, Delgados, Delakota, Cypress Hill...
