Had a really great night last night. having spent the past few weekends elswhere, it made a nice change to go to all my favourite dives here at home.
Good company, we made some new friends. Got unbelievably pissed. Rolling upstairs drunk! Its not always essential to a good night, Im not famed for it. Last night it DID add a certain extra element to...

"NOW YOU!!!"

Okay, okay.

It's not so exciting, truth be told. When drunk enough, I used to sing with Lightyear. And that's about it.

Of course, this was a long time ago, and well before they were actually any good.

I had a habit of DJing and promoting gigs around Derby, Nottingham, Leicester and Stoke... later Edinburgh and now Glasgow. But I've not been on a stage since the Lightyear thing.

I think you just contact Nic. It shouldn't be a problem, if you say you were out that day but didn't make it to the Ice Wharf and that yr a friend of cakemix. She's a very reasonable young lady.

Ive run out of beer....
There seems to be a power cut outside. All the street lights are off, and delightfully the trafford centre' blue and green aura of light pollution seems to have disappeared. Im pretty glad the house still has power. It means I can witter on here likeI actually have something interesting to say...
I have to get away from here, soon....

Just back from a bad couple of hours in the Trafford Centre... Im feeling bilious. I can't begin the cleansing process until you all know... Feel Vampsinthe's (paltry) wrath, summoned from his very marrow:-

Death to ALL out of town monstro-shopping malls. The soul crushing, castle of commerce and den of sum and all that is wrong with the western world... Light, noise and fumes...

AH.. Its good to be back.
I was speaking to some foreign students who told me pretty much every city in the Uk is the same. True, this is a REALLY small island but there are some subtle but noticable differences. The character of the buildings and people varies if you are prepared to look closely..whatever Im sure it happens in most countries, only I...

Home-dump, heh smile There's a meet up on Friday 18th for Learoy and Asha's birthdays. I believe it's at Jilly's Rockworld with pubbing beforehand.

The foreign students probably first notice that every city has Starbucks, McDonalds, Superdrugs and so on, plus the usual array of Firkin, Wetherspoon, O'Neils and other chain pubs. From a quick glance seeing all that gives an veneer of sameness. Same as yourself I've never had this problem either.
big_dave:
right with you on that one, there's nothing louder than the quiet of the house when you're used to somebody else being around...

I kinda agree with Abs on this, Bill Bryson pointed out the same thing... unfortunately everywhere is turning into Anytown UK with all the chains and so on. I think it's only the people with a modicum of intelligence who can see beyond the generic facades and into the original chracter of a place beneath the neon and plastic....

Just got back from a cool weekend in that London place! The gigs were really good! Primarily went because of 'The Vandals' and 'Sick of It All' were playing... They were both on top form. Also the added bonus of meeting some of the SGUK lot! Very nice bunch indeed. Cakemix is gorgeous! love I'm really sorry, to the rest of the gang I couldn't talk...

yeah darkbunny and i met that way..months ago. i don't know who threw the first tongue or why he chose the other day to start a war on me but i think he likes me.
big_dave:
nice beeza, mate smile

oh, and don't be too quick to slag off northeners and their intelligence, I might live in the southeast but way back in the cretaceous period I was born in Lincs and spent much of me childhood in Yorks. Not too north, more midlands, but I still don't consider meself a southerner despite living here 17 yrs wink Nah, I blame the exploding electrics on the fact the people in question are sales staff for a housing developer. Nuff said...

This is it guys...
As a band, the mighty 'Boomsticks' are pulling out of our weenie little gig due to differences with our rivals... Didnt want to do it, but it does mean we go into the studio for another EP.... Wahey! tongue
Things were looking bleak, for a while. I think our petty differences are fading back now. We bristle with barely concealed contempt for...

oh man that really sucks..and i remember when at least one of our friends would have to go through that every weekend. i'm sorry it happened to you do you want me to come over there and get all soccer hooligan on their asses? wink cause i will.

but when you see another punk/freak person in your neighborhood doesn't it almost always make you feel like there's an instant connection? like i said in my journal it just seems like now it's just too easy to be different. thanks for commenting.

and again any exscuse to kick some jerk's ass and i'm there kiss

Bollocks!!! BOLLOCKS! mad
I've had one of those days, ie. NOT a good one...
A lot of tension between old friends, new friends and me in the middle like a pillock. After old friend and new ripped each others throats out, BOTH blame me.
I wish I knew what it was I was supposed to have done. I decided to do what i normally do and...

Left the telly on today as I went about my business.. Tuned it to a 'wallpaper' AD-free channel, which happened to be MTV2 (Umm.. sorry...) wink
A really old Joy Division vid came on shot in Manchester, not far from here. It was probably like 83ish. It got me thinking just how little the landscape in Britain actually changes. The panoramic shot out of the mill...

What a crazy week I have had..
I join the site and some power on a greater plain proceeds to dismantle my life. A close friend has decided what I have done is too much to forgive. I am currently trying to rack my brains to find out what it is. He is too stuborn and chirlish to tell me. I'm reasonably sure it is...

Thanks for the welcome, you two! Its nice there is such a level of involvment from such "high profile" contributors! Im massively flattered! Im feeling a lot better now. Ive decided if this guy wants to see just how much his unjustified paranoia is effecting me, he gets a deadline. Buck up... Or I ship out. Of the band that is. Probably wouldn't do it, mind you O_O!!! xxx
