Everytime You Close Your Eyes

I have decided to write more in my blog, and not just make it musically centered. I'm bored of reading blogs that all mention the word 'drop' 'mix' 'nice' 'blow up' and other 'cool blog' type words. I am not cool and never will be.

So. I'll start with gigs, then move onto other topics.




A few weeks ago I went and saw Yo! Majesty at Camden Barfly. What can I say? They were brilliant. JWL-B kept flashing her tit and the other one with the abs was on top form, giving a shout out to me, a 'fan'. How we LAUGHED. My personal highlights were Louise pulling some small girls hair, the crowd in general, JWL-B's burger nips.



A few days after that was TV on the Radio. I can honestly say I haven't been to a gig where I've enjoyed myself so much and not really known many of the songs. Apparently there were loads of sound problems, but being deaf and wearing ear plugs I heard it all pretty clearly. I don't know why people are labeling them the 'new Radiohead' though, because they're quite clearly not. Setting Sun was so good to hear live.

I went to Bills in Brighton the other day, for dinner. It was the biggest letdown of my entire life, second to the time Louise and I made all our exhausted friends stay up to watch If These Walls Could Talk 2 and it had been replaced with the golf. Don't go there for anything other that lunch. The food was terrible and it had all the atmosphere of a hospice canteen, complete with cement floor for easy vom wiping up.


Also, I am adoring my new Girls Aloud 'Dreams That Glitter - Our Story' book, plus Sex on Wheels, a collection of 70's porn shots by Eric Wilkins that all feature ugly birds lolling about on cars with their tits out (see above). Both brought for me for my 22nd by very good friends. They know me so well.
