Stones Throw hits
November 30th, 2008
If you have never heared any of Stones Throw records output, get on it. The track below is a blinder. It is easily amongst the best things i have heared recently. Up there too would be the new(ish) album by Roots Manuva. You got to love him. Enjoy.
There is a facebook page set up to […]
Gallon Drunk
November 28th, 2008I have loved Gallon Drunk since the first time i heared them on John Peel. Love may be a little bit strong but they rock. I was suprised to hear they had a new album this year called ‘The rotten mile’. They even toured this year. I wouldn’t have minded seeing them. I don’t buy […]
SCALE - SORT IT OUT
November 26th, 2008One thing which really bums me out (its all relative) lately is the scale of toy cars. Why the hell can they not just decide on a standard scale and stick with it. You get any thing from 1:40 up, or down to 1:99. It really spoils my enjoyment of small world play when you […]
GLASS, OH THE WONDERS
November 24th, 2008I found myself pondering the wonders of glass the other day. Wow. What a place the world would be without the wonders of glass. It would sure be a darker and this time of year a colder place. Did someone just happen to discover it by chance? According to wiki
“The tradition is that a merchant […]
November 23rd, 2008
I had a great dream last night. I was a contestant on some reality TV show. it was the first show and one of my fellow male ‘mates’ said ‘phwoaaaw what do you think of her mate’ while gesturing to one of the female contestants. To which i replied ‘ Are you kidding, my gorgeous […]
Arse Ass and harses
November 17th, 2008Since my bout of illness i have been left with a dodgy stomach. I get cramps, notice to run for the loo and the most tremendous gas. Now i do not usually have a problem sudden gas emissions, in as much as i donot find them offensive. However this recent bout is impossible to not […]
Mr Creed’s need for speed
November 15th, 2008Following our visit to the Tate, the real reason we visited was to witness Martin Creed’s no’ 850. It was the last day and lo and behold there was Mr Creed legging it through the gallery. The kids loved the spectacle. it was quite novel seeing people running as fast as they could through the […]
Turner prize 2008, is crap.
November 14th, 2008Visited the 2008 Turner prize at Tate Britain today. The experience was thouroughly underwhelming. Is that it was my reaction. Mark Leckey garnered the most attention. There was at least some substance to his work and something whichstimulated your attention. Bringing up the rear was Cathy Wilkes whos work is not even illustrated on the […]
Mental magpie
November 12th, 2008I have come to the opinion that i am a bit of a mongrel. I have oft considered myself a jack of all trades master of nore, but what i think is going on is that i like a bit of this, a bit of that and some of the other. My mind is all […]
Getting the bug
November 10th, 2008Seem to have picked up some sickness S&D bug. Been ill since the weekend. There is little as un-edifying as mid splatter needing to bow down to the great white god with a technicolour yawn. Relief and pleasure came in the shape of a day in bed listening to mark kermode and other BBC podcasts.On […]
The new Scirocco
November 8th, 2008As a one time scirocco owner and long time scirocco lover i really dont know if i like the new style VW release. The new look scirocco’s release has passed me by somewhat. I didn’t even realise there had been a new car out until the other day when i found an advert in a […]
Sick with the Swans
November 7th, 2008I have long heared how the band ‘The swans‘ inspired a whole raft of bands. I just realised i was completely unaware of any of the Swans work. Oh ho ho. I have now explored some of their back catologue and oh what treasures. Errrm. For the uninitiated The Swans sound may best be described […]
