My fellow listees, I have the urge to share this with you because I feel you will understand me. I have tickets for The Hives' London show and I can't go. Also I can't give them to anyone because I realised that I couldn't go last night and even though I know people who'd like to go a)as I said I can't get to London from Birmingham and b) no friend of mine from Birmingham would go to see them in London. The irony is that they were playing here yesterday. So here I am stuck in Brumm with a pair of tix to see the wonderful Hives supported by the wonderful Dirtbombs and all I'm going to do is act as a good Greek girl and join my friends to church tonight for the Orthodox Easter. I haven't been in church for Easter for 5 years now 'cos I don't believe but my friends told me that it would be great fun to do this while in another country . Plus it's a great excuse for partying.So yeah..WHAT FUN! On the bright side, Mr. Scruff will be in Birmingham on the 2nd of June in the Medicine bar so I thought I'd share this. When in London last I went to a gig of his in this really nice club in Brick Lane called 93 Feet East. It was kind of cool. I think I'm boring you today. Oh, hey this morning I was watching the repeat of The Sky at Night with that astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and he has been presenting this show for 45 years! He was showing clips from all of his shows and one of them was from 1958 and he was so young but he spoke exactly the same way as now which is kind of freaky. At a point he was discussing with another scientist the possibility of extra-terrestrial life and they were talking about it in a very scientific but comprehendible way and then the camera moves outside the house they are and two metal "aliens" appear speaking all weirdly and saying how the found earth life not so important and that they'd rather go now. I'm not very good at describing it, I'm sure but I think it's very funny. OK. I'll go now because I think I am being extremely boring. Have a nice bank holiday. If you are going to the Hives' show I HATE YOU.
