A tape deck without pretensions

Recently I remembered we had an old portable stereo in our kitchen, unused for years and years and I thought "great, I can plug my IPOD into that" and have music in the kitchen. We have a little ipod dock and speakers combo but it's a bit worn out an...

Useful tips for guitar beginners!

This is what I was after, thank you Neil and Mark:cheat - don't use every finger on every string like the books suggest in strange cramped positions.if you want open chords 90% of songs are D C and G2 bar chord shapes and don't worry about extending ...

Do The Indie Kid video

Buy the single here, and get the mp3's free. Here's the video: ...

Do The Indie Kid

MJ Hibbett has a new single:Do The Indie Kid is OFFICIALLY out on April 7th but you can get in early RIGHT NOW and buy the 7" Single version (here), if you'd like to. Mr Steve Lamacq played it last week and it sounded GRATE on the radio (I thought so...

MJ Hibbett at Edinburgh Fringe

Specifically for Nick really who didn't believe MJ Hibbett was playing Edinburgh:Me and Mr S Hewitt went up to Edinburgh last month to CASE OUT somevenues for the Fringe version of "My Exciting Life In ROCK" (stillthrusting forward at www.popartlondo...

He's doing a proper fringe show

he's there for a week, details must be on here.

RE: I haven't bought either

I know, but they aren't the ubiquitous force that Sony are.I'd def go and see MJ at the Fringe, although I really didn't like that video he did for FAWM. He's only doing 1 gig in Aug and that's not up here...http://www.mjhibbett.net/gigs/gigs.htm...

I haven't bought either

I'm not into gaming enough to bother yet either.Toshiba were hardly "Mama's Kitchen Garden", they're a fairly big outfit.You going to see MJ Hibbett at the Edinburgh Fringe?...

Alan Moore

Not the barber shop in Portchester, but the comic bloke, Hibbett wrote a song about the time he saw him in a comic shop. Just posting this here to remind me to check it out later really, as I just saw it posted elsewhere.Mark wrote this for FAWM, and...

Bad weather on a good day

Severe gale warnings across the country today, the wastelands of the north get it worse, but it's pretty windy here, was very noisy at home. But hey, not only is it the best day of all today, but it's also profit share day. To the pie shop!...

Ukelele flashmob

This sounds like it was great, we do miss out on things since we left London. Maybe we will get more cultural action like this when we move to Canterbury. Or maybe we will stay in and watch 24 like we have been doing recently. Just finished series 4,...

A festive update from Hibbett

Hmm, this newsletter is called "The Last Working Day Of The Month" (from one of his songs), but he's practically a civil servant and finished work for the year a week ago at least, I'm still working...welcome to this SUPER CHRISTMASSY edition of our ...

Programming is a poetry for our time

A fairly new song up on MJ Hibbett's youtube channel, not actually a new song, nor actually even new to youtube as it's been up there for a few days already, but hey I've not seen it and you probably haven't either, so let's pretend it's all new and ...

Why is MJ Hibbett not showing up on my "blogroll"?

I've been using social bookmarking site del.icio.us to handle my links to other sites forever, getting (for example) a feed of my links tagged "blogs" and then filtering out just links I've given a rating too. I've saved MJ Hibbett so why's it not sh...

The Lesson Of The Smiths

I forgot to say, recently I bought a single, an EP in fact, and it's great, and you should get it too. I was reminded of this by this email update from MJ Hibbett: Our EXCITING new single, "The Lesson Of The Smiths/The Gay Train" came out last month,...

Boom Shake The Room

The Gay Train

New video of a song by my friends MJ Hibbett and the Validatorsvideo is by Rob Manuel, of b3ta fame.All stop watching it, so it streams more smoothly for me... More Hibbett updates, courtesy of his newsletter:ITEM! After months of hard work (honest!)...

Drought, in the fields, the fighting's just begun...

How irresponsible are Amazon right now? They're advertising this 'domestic' high pressure washer (400 litres per hour) and this upright high pressure washer (530 litres per hour) on their home and garden homepage. I went there looking for things to a...

Sorry to leave such a gap

Been away for the weekend, not running and hiding in fear, we went to a fabulous wedding up in Oxford. Got The Oxford Tube there late on Friday as we were already booked onto it, and it was alright. Comfortable enough and only 15 quid for an open ret...

Cockle Fighting

Just been reminded of this game, it's rubbish, but kind of addictive. A good day today despite the heat, just had some good news regarding FRIENDS, BABIES and the having thereof. If you're at a loose end in London tonight, MJ Hibbett is playing at th...

MJ Hibbett gig

Not just Mark, but the full Validators Experience will be at the The Bull & Gate on Thursday 23rd June.

Some would have you believe the people of Folkestone are mad

The evidence cited in support would be that most locals there are firmly behind a planned shopping development, says the Guardian... I think the HMV is a GOOD THING, not so sure about Asda but who knows. We have plenty of little independent shops, an...

COCKS

Went to The Stab in the Dark yesterday to see MJ Hibbett and The Fighting Cocks and a good time was had by all, despite everything. I walked there from work, and probably could have had better weather for it, but was nice and easy. The pub is an odd ...
