Chin-chinnerys

All my gawd and gor blimey guv'nor.....apples n' pears and cockles and whelks....now I went to a local venue, Chinnery's on Southend sea front, twice in the last week. First of all was the wonderful Wedding Present with godlike genius of David Gedge. Now even before they started playing he was positioned on the merch stall, just chatting to fans. What a top bloke. They played a good set with a good mix of old and new. And aren't they just masters of the long out-tro to a song. Brilliant. "Better than the Smiths" shouted one excited fan.......discuss!

Second band, was Blood Red Shoes, who to my mind released one of the best albums last year in Box of Secrets. Now they are playing a few low key (hence Sarfend) gigs to try out new material. And it was alternate new followed by old song...and it worked. Anyway that is also something girls playing guitars.....

Anyway Chinnery's is a good venue and worth checking out if you're by the seaside; you can still also stroll down the worls longest pleasure pier....the aroma of Dr Feelgood, Alison Moyet and the Rubettes still lingers in the air!

Your Way Or The Norway

Come on - everybody must have bought Melody A.M? Well, they're back.



Yes, I admit it could be argued that the new track is 'moderately similar' to all of the previous ones. Still, it's worked for U2 *spit* for nearly 30 fucking-awful years, the terrible repetitive bog-trotting Jesus-complex pub-musician twat/s.

Sorry, where was I? Oh yes, Royksopp have a new album out soon. Thanks.

The wicketkeeper in my cricket team is a very good friend of Elly from La Roux.

FACT.

Anyway, this:



For what it's worth? I really like the song but I really hate like the mix (all boom+tizz = producer deaf and/or on coke). But the video is surely a rip-off of (homage to?) Kylie's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" isn't it?

Anyway, like, whatever.
