Banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee.
Well, Mikey thinks he's all cool and "hard" by publishing a few new posts but I'll show him: two can play that game.
Fringe festival is getting more and more fun; Kevin Harrington and I are being interviewed on BBC Radio Berkshire on Monday but Henry Kelly. We've already agreed that in the interests of fringe success we are not to abuse, misuse or denegrate the opportunity to publicise and promote the fringe and as such we have already drawn up a short list of the funny things we would like to say but won't. They mostly consist of Going For Gold expressions (Thanks to PaulC for his "You're back in the game" gem).
White Sunday have found our drum-bitch. He's real good and rehearsals are coming along nicely thanks for asking.
Yesterday was a bit of an emotional roller-coaster; my amp blew up (hope it's still under warranty - I get the feeling that Marshall's valvestate combo's have a habit of expiring at random) but I borrowed Mike (from White Sunday, not my erstwhile Muf bandmate) his vintage Fender Deluxe to play at the Madjeski last night and it sounded sweet! Amazing; 72 Tele through a classic fender and suddenly I felt like Craig Ross (sans afro, naturellement). Quality Lamb, Beefy.
Am I wrong in really liking Orson's "No Tomorrow" track? I hope not, I know it's almost camp LA style rock showmanship but I really like it anyway. I heard another single of theirs and thought it was pants but N.T. has won a place in my heart.
Now wash your hands.
