Have you ever met a little kid that just totally makes your utter and total dislike for small children almost completely go away? My new girlfriend has this little 2 year old nephew, and he's just the cutest, sweetest, funniest little kid I've ever met. Could it be that deep down, I really do like the little buggers? Of course I'm not there all day...

Due to inactivity I presume, the group I started SG Keyboarders has been removed. Drag... 
On a brighter note there are three kick ass concerts up and coming that I cannot wait for. Only 2 short weeks until September 18th upon which I will make the 2.5 hour drive to Austin to see the brilliant Wilco perform at Stubb's Bbq. Then, October 23rd, the legendary...

So you want to know whatever happened to the Wonder Stuff... well you may be sorry you asked but here's the short version! 
Whatever happened to The Wonder Stuff: An Essay (!)
Well as you probably know the band officially split up in 1994 after performing for the final time at the Phoenix Festival.
Miles Hunt went on to briefly work for MTV UK as a VJ and then formed a new band called Vent414 who released one album in 1996 and then promptly disbanded after less-than-critical acclaim!
Miles then went to America to work on his solo career and between 1998 - 2000 he released several albums/EPs through the New Jersey based Gig Records (occassionally working with other Wonder Stuff band members).
Then unexpectedly the Wonder Stuff, six years after splitting up, reformed to do a series of reunion gigs across the UK at the tail-end of 2000. The gigs seemed to go down very well and they continued to do sporadic "reunion" shows up until last year.
Also during this time-period Miles formed a new band called The Miles Hunt Club (in 2002) and once again released one album which failed to make any sort of impression with the British music press.
And here's where it gets interesting... earlier this year Miles reportedly recorded an album with a new backing band purely as a solo album. Then all of a sudden a series of new Wonder Stuff live dates and an album called "Escape From Rubbish Island" are announced... the trouble is only Miles and one other Wonder Stuff member are involved. The rest of the band who have been touring on and off with Miles since 2000 weren't asked to participate with the album or even tour with the band - in fact the first they knew of it all was when the new tour dates were announced!
Basically the theory is that Miles recorded his album then decided that the British press was going to ignore anything he released unless it had the Wonder Stuff name on it... so he did just that without even mentioning it to the rest of the band. So now he'll be touring with a brand new band who aren't really the Wonder Stuff...
Personally I don't care - I've supported his solo career and his Wonder Stuff career so I'll pretty much buy anything he's involved with (plus they're playing my hometown next month and I'd be a fool not to go) - but it has divided the fanbase right down the middle!

that's the most succinct entry i've ever read. word.
I went to Austin this weekend to visit my sister and brother-in-law. We went to watch the bats fly again and they were in full force, a spectacular show if relatively brief. Here's a little video for your enjoyment: Austin Bats (~10 Megs)

I finally said no to this alt-country band that were virtually begging me to come play piano/organ and guitar for them. It might have been fun, playing originals plus covers by the likes of Big Star, Wilco, and Counting Crows, but they wanted to do to much mainstream crap like the Eagles and Dire Straits which I will just not be a part of. So,...

looks like you pissed him off man! 
Thanks
The whole kid thing...I had a similar experience with a kid at the bank this morning, he was the sweetest little thing - then I went into a store and had this horrible little brat of a child attempting yelling loudly and smearing chocolate over everything grrrrrrrrrr!
