not asking for your name?

I don't know, some cookie wonkiness maybe... did it just remember your name? It ought to do that but it never seems to... you can register here I think, so you can edit etc like on popex.comOff to check out your gigography then! I am a bit worried th...

Lovely weekend, thanks for asking

Had a few beers on Friday night in The Coal Hole on The Strand, a few more more than the one I intended, but great to see people. Was running late (having put the popex redesign mostly live), so had to get a cab there from work. It's stupid but I fel...

frank skinner

he was walking around at the old harbour in st tropez with this blonde girl, grinning at the people who were sitting on the teraces of the bars

Don Estelle

The unlikely Seventies chart topper and star of "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" was singing and selling cassette tapes outside Sainsburys in Basingstoke's thoroughly unpleasant shopping mall.This may also be a vision of the future for Adam Rickett, a modern ...

Frank Skinner

He was in the upstairs bar, very nice, chatted to anyone who approached him.

Pete Holmstrom & Courtney Taylor-Taylor

3pm 2/5/1. Record signing at local music store in Brisbane. Pete was cool. Courtney was drunk. Everyone enjoyed it and they stayed around for almost 2 hrs.

Frank Skinner

Saturday 7th October, about 10:30pm.
Did an unannounced stand-up show to about 30 people in like a BASEMENT!
Must know the owner or something.

Crispin Hunt and Mike Skinner

I met both Crispin Hunt and Mike Skinner at last years Notting Hill Carnival. Mike Skinner was drunk and carrying a huge bottle of Brandy ( My mates bird got a pic with him). I spotted Crispin (Ex Longpigs) a few hours later. Being a huge fan of the ...

You didn't say they'd be busking in the street!

They ARE however playing The Junction later - tossers that they are. Better not get in the way of my pub crawl with their antics!

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Godspeed You Black Emperor have a new album out ont October the 9th on CTS Records, and that, above, is the title. Shouldn't it be "antennae" though, and not "antennas"?They've written a lot about the forthcoming platter, the only bit I could underst...

Frank Skinner tonight

Off to Frank Skinner tonight at the Leas Cliff Hall, my first gig-like event in a long while, even though it'll all be old people like me sat down. Tomorrow, we're after buying tickets for The Cure if we can, that surely will be different......

There is another UK Skink doing the rounds

This from a press release from January last year:LONDON: It needs a brave soul and a strong stomach to have dinner with Arthur Boyt.For he is a connoisseur of roadkill flesh, and among the dishes served in his kitchen are casseroles made from squashe...

It's not the show that's on TV, he's just being interviewed

It's on BBC Newsnight or something, but it's on at about quarter to six, so not Newsnight. The trailer was meant to be a load of outtakes from Ricky talking to camera, but it looked lame and unconvincing really.Not seen this show, so that's a treat f...

Frank Skinner last night

Quite a good gig last night, Frank was funny and rude, and likeable because of his self depracating ways. He did two sets, with an interval, and then came back to do a little song on his banjo too. He's on tour for another two months, so see him if y...

Due Day plus ELEVEN

Even NHS Pregnancy Desktop has given up on us now. This is an annoying thing Clare installed once, starts up with the computer and shows a little timeline of how close you are to your due date and some pregnancy related news stories, from the NHS. Fo...

Even I'm not reading this blog any more

Since I got the google plus I want to put everything there instead. Still at leas I have this data here, when I want to look back on my thoughts one day I'll hopefully have a backup of this nonsense. Maybe it will be published one day in a book bound...

Art

A play, a birthday treat, long running, had Art Malik in it and it was Frank Skinner's first night.

Frank Skinner's Credit Crunch Cabaret, featuring Richard Herring

This whole set of gigs sounds great! It's meant to be "credit crunch busting", all tickets only ten pounds, but look, people are touting it! And I'm listing their touting on the website! Disgusting!

Red Carpets and Other Banana Skins: Rupert Everett

An element of drama has always attended Rupert Everett, even before he swept to fame with his outstanding performance in 'Another Country'. He was in Moscow during the fall of communism; in Berlin the night the wall came down; and in downtown Manhatt...
