No sign of Nigel

but the Dyson was fine - one pass of the living room though and the chamber (there's no bags in these non-hoovers) is half full, it's disgusting. Going to hoover all my clothes next.Big up to the wanker security guard in Safeway who challenged me for...

Blur

Saw Blur at the Astoria, reviewed it here, apparently the song they did with Phil Daniels is called "My White Noise" and is featured as the hidden track on Think Tank... nice that it's done as a REAL hidden track, not just tacked on the end after a b...

Folkestone Weekender

Booked into La Bamba Mexican Restaurant, Hythe which I just found via Hythe Live. I think it's not up to date, as I'm sure the fantastic Kai's has closed now. Also going to Chambers again which I'm really looking forward to - proper beer, pool table ...

someone did get some popbitch passwords, how slack

this is nice.

I don't know who it is

Someone who really likes the Black Crowes I guess, and might want to be anonymous... anyway off to Folkestone for the duration of the break, enjoy the gigs!

Lets see if I can do the same trick I've done with The Darkness, by reposting all Belle and Sebastian dates up here as they go on sale...Belle And Sebastian @ USHER HALL, EDINBURGH (Sun 14 Dec)More tickets on my Belle and Sebastian tickets page...Bit...

Normally you'd get acdc... but not this time.

Up early to get those AC/DC tickets

C'mon...Good weekend though, started slightly fuzzy with booze, then met the parents for a curry at the Punjab in Covent Garden, then saw David Blaine in his box, he really does seem to be there, I don't get what the trick is still. Is David Blaine c...

I would try one of the other links on this site

Good luck with your search, you'll need a bit more information than that to get started, you want dates and places of births too, then you might be able to narrow down your search. You could give Free BMD a try, it looks like a good free resource....

It's been a week

Time to mention the bus again, the 106 is back on track, not being diverted via Stoke Newington Church Street and so on, got me into work a bit too quick today... further investigations into Folkestone Metronome reveal that Zodiac Mindwarp and Wolfsb...

A quarter of commuters have found love in the tube

according to a poll by London Underground. And who's printing this shite? Yes, Metro. What should the sharpest response be? The other 75% can never find love becuase they've gnawed off their genitals in sheer frustration at the poor service? Stuck at...

Quizno's singing rats

Aha, from spotting slate.msn.com/id/2095868/ in the Popdex listings I know now why people were searching for quiznos rat pictures the other day, it's some sort of TV campaign, by Joel Veitch of b3ta.com and rathergood.com fame. That boy must be doin...

those ads on the right there are context sensitive

as soon as you turned up, they're all about drugs

Remember grouphug.us, the confessional site?

Now they're turning it into a book.

How big are these books that they won't fit in a bin?

I like the sound of monitor smashing guy

RE: How big are these books that they won't fit in a bin?

Ummm, their quantity is big, I meant.

Boy on a Stick and Slither

Kinda cool!

Maury Yeston's Titanic

We got an email from a student in the USA who's been cast as "Caroline Neville" in a production of Maury Yeston's Titanic...Caroline Neville is a fictional character, but she has been written as "an upper-class British woman who runs away with Charle...

Folkestone, isn't it ace?

Please post whatever you like here, the "new message" link is over there to the right -->

The internet's all gone a bit rude today

As if it wasn't bad enough not being able to avoid seeing Abi Titmuss' home videos at every click, link of the day on memepool is dog toy or marital aid, it's one of those b3ta type quizzes... So, trying to keep things clean, it seems some of my blog...

London venue capacity

Aha, a chance to take a step towards my self-imposed remit when I started this site, being a bit of a resource for local people. Were you wondering about the capacity of certain London venues? I have done before, just got a press release from Shepher...

Writing this using the "transcribe" feature of the new toy, as I can touch type, so I find the little keyboard slow... Not quite gor to grips with it yet as my writing is 5Ho(FIN9. That should say "shocking", no not snaking, I'm going to edit this I ...

SMITHS REUNION! SMITHS REUNION! SMITHS REUNION!

What do you think to the rumour that was in popbitch last week, about the band being in talks? After everyone said it'd never never happen? I never thought I'd get a chance to see the Pixies, but it happened. Seeing the Smiths would be just ace.Smith...

Folkestone Literary Festival

it's on from the Monday 20th to Saturday 25th of September, so we'll miss it all, but you shouldn't. Various venues, various times, various prices, highlights seem to me to be Clarissa Dickson-Wright, John Hegley and William Hague... see folkestoneli...

Suede reunion

Article in the Indie here... not sure how much of a Suede reunion it's going to be, I hear on popbitch.com (oh yes, always reliable) that they'll not be playing any old material, so there is NO parallel with the recent fantastic Pixies shows...If any...

The Dark

Razzle of Hanoi Rocks previous punk band. Plus Sedated, Mutilate and Conditional Discharge.

The Pretty Things

+ Quiklik. Someone has memories of them playing at The Flamenco but I've seen a poster says it was the LCH.

KISS

plus Rage Against The Machine, Skunk Anansie, Thunder and Three Colours Red and L7. Got freebies from the NME and drank all the money I saved. Kind of lost it about five songs in and ended up in Covent Garden....

Catherine Wheel

With God Machine... Says "Meterodome" on the website.

Hawkwind

this page about Hawkwind support acts:

The Hippy Slags supported at Folkestone in 1988(ish), with another band maybe the Ozrics?

Jeff Beck Group

Featuring Jeff Beck (duh) Ron Wood, Rod Stewart, and Aynsley Dunbar.... guessing it's the Leas Cliff Hall.

Charlatans

Very nice to see contemporary bands coming to town, two in two days, how will people afford it, bit steep!

Glastonbury 1994

My first Glastonbury festival, went in my van, hard to fault the lineup on the NME stage... Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Manics, etc. Britpop-tastic....

Radiohead

Conflicting reports, may have been the 6th of Jan... Part of the "Anyone Can Play Guitar" tour

Catya Maré - CANCELLED

PJ Harvey

Some Radio One event called Soho Live with John Parrish, Baby Bird and Geneva.

Queen

Only Brian May and Roger Taylor, with Paul Rodgers on vocals, no John Deacon.

Eamon

Genuine spat with his ex-girlfriend? Or a couple of stage school brats put up to it by the label? You decide... Only 17.50 to you squire! He's opening for Britney Spears in the US of States you know...

One Night Of Queen

Queen tribute show... Is this the one with the chap from Stars in their Eyes in it?

The Darkness

I dragged Neil and Camilla, of The Face and Popbitch along. IT WAS ME THAT MADE THE DARKNESS POPLIAR!

Idlewild

Plus Sons and Daughters it says here...

New Order

Pissed down with rain. Crystal, Transmission, Regret, Ceremony, 60 Miles An Hour, Atmosphere, Brutal, Close Range, She's Lost Control, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Temptation, Love Will Tear Us Apart, (Encore) Digital (with John Simm), Blue Mon...

Selling Houses

Oh yes lover, another one! Only half an hour this time, clearly we don't have to watch it though...

Daniel Lyons

The Sinden presents the world premiere of a new musical drama DANIEL LYONS. Written by BAFTA award winning author Roy Apps from his best-selling children's novel. Music by Steve Pusey.

WASP

Not sure what day, the ticket is very faded... Zed Yago supported, this site says REM played there only two days before, I did pick the gigs to go to......

The Darkness

Setlist: "Bareback", "Black Shuck", "Best of me", "Love is only a feeling", "Get your hands off", "Givin' up", "Stuck in a rut", "I believe in a thing called love", "Love on the rocks with no ice"

The Darkness

NME On night, with Kennedy Soundtrack

Madonna

Plus Hue & Cry and The Bhundu Boys, but not the rumoured Wet Wet Wet. My first concert, went with a friend from school and some friends of his dad. Sounds a bit weird now. Got the t-shirt, programme, every bit of junk going......

The Primitives

Plus the Pale Saints, I later went on to work with their lead singer at nme.com

Wolfsbane

Found the ticket now! I went to the gig on my own, then got the last train up to Rugby, where I was staying for college. Can't find details anywhere online. Much stage diving, one of my favourite gig.s

Travis

plus Kings Of Leon who were OK, Travis a bit boring. VERY annoyed by the Carling-ness of it all and so we left early to get a proper drink.

Brian Wilson

Yes of the Beach Boys, one to tick off the list. He was a bit unsteady on his feet but he had great support in recreating the perfect sound.

VH1 Divas

Chaka Khan, Celine Dion, Mary J Blige, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Jewel, Lisa Marie Presley, Ashanti, Shania Twain, Pat Benatar, Isley Brothers, Queen Latifah, Sharon Osbourne and STEVIE WONDER!...

stellastarr*

plus The Ordinary Boys and The 22s. Looks like everyone was there to see the Ordinary Boys, but I thought they were a bit ordinary... stellastarr were OK, not quite as convincing as on record though.

Nirvana

plus Captain America and Shonen Knife. I got the t-shirt and everything, wish I still had it. Birmingham Hummingbird is now part of the Academy.
