just back from mercury rev concert. fcuking excellent -- like how i reckon the verve probably sounded five years ago, before they discovered rolling stones orchestral covers and just got on with making a fcuking beautiful noise. luverly. if you're bowlieing, go see them. however, i'm stuck in this continent, so will be unable to join in the ted-bovis-esque joys of cambersands. however, i will be appearing on the webcam in my vest and pants for one minute. tune in and see if you can spot it. q: what do you call an elephant with 17 balaclavas on? a: anything you like, he can't hear you. i walked past 'vanilla ice' a couple of weeks ago, after he performed at a club at the end of my street. i briefly considered shouting some verbal gbh at him, before remembering that he is a double-hard bastard, who was stabbed by one of his homies. so pegged it instead, like the big girls blouse i am. www.unamerican.com -- you know it makes sense. i've been playing around with 'shoutcast' -- the winamp radio thang. my station ("the sweeney", for reasons to complex and dull to go into, but it does give me an excuse to play "shat it!" sound files on it) has been up the last couple of weekends, and has had listeners from as far afield as sweden and hungary. i'll see if i can't get it up next weekend, and do a bowlie tribute with shedloads of b&s, tfc, mbv and that. to access it, point your winamp at smyles.ne.mediaone.net:8000 and see if it comes up peachy. or download mp3spy (from mp3spy.com, natch) and search for me. any boston-ish people up for a picnic sometime? i can supply irn-bru. rododododod.
