Well, they're playing Coachella, that's in California, think it was the first one the reformed Pixies played at and also the festival that offered the Rage Against the Machine,Smiths five million dollars. Does that lineup bode well for UK festivals? ...

Placebo

Oh yeah, Placebo were apparently at the same popbitch party that Mark Owen was at on Thursday night, didn't witness it myself though...

Electric Six Tour

Electric Six were top last night, they're like a big rock caberet Village People, ace... Sounds a bit dismissive doesn't it, sorry... Not the campness of the Village People, just that there is one there for everyone - there's the one who's like Neil ...

The tall one out of Placebo was on my Northern Line tube. He got off at Chalk Farm and walked up Regents Park Road...

Crisps beat Cake in ourcake vs crisps poll by a fairly convincing margin of 55% to 45%... the first entrant out of the hat is Sara Ho who wins... no, wait a minute, Sara Ho has tried to cheat popEx by putting "u wish, mars, solar system, -----" in as...

Getting absolutley wankered after the Witness festival.

"So Why So Sad" review

The Manics Christmas single "So why So Sad" seems to have arrived a bit late, but it is Phil Spector-TASTIC. Millions of layers of stuff, and what sounds like a Melotron in there somewhere. It is a very un-manics-like single, a true welcome departure...

Daphne and Celeste go in FEET FIRST

The none-more-alternative Daphne and Celeste are to appear at London's Feet First club in Camden. The "girls", who were successfully removed from the stage at Reading Festival by a discerning public are coming back for seconds at Feet First's 14th bi...

Uncle Bob's Reading Reception

Iron TWIST in a velvet glove

TWIST (live at the Kings Cross Water Rats on Tuesday) rocked my world! They sound likePlacebo a bit, except they're FOUR girls instead of just three, and they're from BIRMINGHAM, like Black Sabbath and Duran Duran. The one thing I'd heard about the b...

Mean Fiddler

I went in late on a whim, missed the support, who might have been Deus.

The Wedgewood Rooms

Can't remember what, but I know I was at something at the Wedge this night, while Placebo were at the Joiners. Maybe it was a caberet.

The Wedgewood Rooms

plus Placebo. Not sure I actually went to this, I remember feeling really ill at the previous day's gig, think I was out for a few days with something like flu or glandula fever......
