So, i'm in Wales....

We're doing an RSL here in Cardiff and the powers-that-be have decreed I should get my arse down to Wales and spread some of that Xfm love to the masses. So far, i've had a martini in the hotel bar and a GREAT Indian meal at Cafe Naz in Cardiff Bay. There you go: serious preparation! Tomorrow is the first Welsh X-list, then Athlete doing a live session. Tuesday is X-posure, wednesday sees me and First Friday resident Jared doing the Tag Team DJ thing at Club Ifor Bach.

Look at the sort of people that turn up in Brighton these days...*sheesh* 

*wipes tears from eyes*

I just can't stop laughing.....
Xfm given a Snoop makeover.
(may contain swear words. Ok, it *will* contain bad language, but it doesn't make much sense, so it's OK)

moblogging....

But it seems to be USA only at the moment, which is a shame.

Oh, more updates..

I added a Sitemeter. So far, it's shown me i'm the only person here :(

Time for a change

So, new Template. Waddya think? I'm not sold on the silver hyperlinks as yet, but I can see comments easier (if I get any..)

Update time..

So, Audioscrobbler. Well, i've got about 280 tracks up there now (it's *so* addictive) and i've finally got some neighbours. Most seem to listen to a lot of fey indie-rock :(
There's no-one who has ever listened to Girls Aloud, Louie Prima, The Stars of Heaven, The Flys....i could go on.
Could this be something which shows me who to avoid, as opposed to who I should connect to?

More Members..

..and i'm still listening. Right now, it's "Brian Was" (about two-thirds down).

And this is how I feel right now.. 

And here's my IM photo. Look at how regal I am. 

Bit blurred, but here's my unseen Nick Drake photo...pride of place on the wall. 

Who me? ..i'm..an airline pilot, actually..

So, Monday was the launch of the new Members compilation "Res-Erection" with a party at the Notting Hill Arts Club. Got to meet Nicky Tesco and JC, which was one of the highlights of my years so far. All those years marooned in the Wiltshire countryside with only copies of "Chelsea Nightclub" and "Solitary Confinement" for company; it's a wonderful thing to meet the people responsible.

...and I FINALLY tracked down a Skull Skates Todd Swank! 

Here's Lulu :) 

The Sound Of The Suburbs...

I've been listeneing to The Members a lot recently, in fact it seems like i'm on a "Virgin Records 1978-1981" kick at the moment; Fingerprintz, The Records, The Members, The Ruts... it's all good with me.
Anyway, The Members.. This sums it all up. What's it like being in a band?
Well, there's Sex and groupies, but there's also loneliness and frustration. There's drugs and booze, but there's also hangovers, paranoia and breakdowns. there's Rock'n'Roll, but there's both sides of that equation as well: sometimes fame- and sometimes failure.
