Bit of a disappointing weekend to be honest... 
For those of you who missed it, Friday night was a superb gig - all three bands, Project 506, the Retrose and Pornovurt put on absolutely storming sets. It's just a shame it was wasted due to a thoroughly lousy attendance. I dunno why this was as we advertised the gig well enough and were sure a...

Cheers for the comments on the last journal folks - rest assured part 2 will follow soon enough. 
Today's been a supremely frustrating day - I was supposed to be meeting up with my colleagues from the agency to promote the gig we're sorting on Friday for neonkick's band (any local SG'ers, please feel free to come along and lend us your support -...

Reasons to be cheerful (part 239)
- Bank Holiday weekend! Woo-hoo!

Gene - "I Can't Help Myself" (1994)
No don't worry, I'm not doing the off again (I've been in an uncharacteristically good mood lately for a change), more the end of an era.
Basically, today has seen the curtain come...

Spookily, at the exact same time that you made that random post, I was listening to Razorlight 
Well, not that spooky, cos I've been listening to them a lot.
Would be cool to see them working in TK Maxx. Rather than just shopping there ZING!
Um, yeah, anyway, glad you're doing ok dude

LISTENING TO: Voice of the Beehive - "Honeylingers"
The weekend is upon us. And it will rock. For the following reasons:
1) Just got out of work, went for a quiet drink with a couple of peeps in my department and cleaned twenty quid out of the fruity! That's tonight's pub/takeaway money sorted I think... 
2) Seeing my sort-of-gf tomorrow evening for...

OMG "Honey Lingers"!!! not played that for years!
blast from the past though - we used to hang out with beehive at their place in stoke newington years ago! Mike Jones produced my first bands demos, with help from Steve Mack from That Petrol Emotion that lived with Tracey Beehive!
he turned out to be our best ally - i wonder what Steve is doing now?

Strange old weekend... 
Was dreading doing a shift on Saturday morning but as it turned out it wasn't bad as I got more sales than I had for the rest of the week combined! Looks like I may be in line for a bonus at the end of the month after all...
Spent the afternoon down the record exchange getting rid of old CD's and...

LISTENING TO: Mega City Four "Wallflower"

So it wasn't such a bad weekend really. As mentioned in the previous entry, Friday night was fun and as it turned out Saturday wasn't so bad either.

thanks for the happy birthday sweetie!
Shame about the gig, it's annoying when the turn out isn't as good as it should be. I always want to forcibly drag people in off the street - "look at what you're missing!"
