I loved that thing this-morning.. Billary campaigning in West Virginia, and the band strike up Rock 'n' Roll Part II by Gary Glitter... if it was Barack it would drop him down the polls 20 places,, but in Billary's case it will probably help her out being backed by a convicted pedophile's hit records.. good one... made me chuckle anyway..
HE'S ISN'T Gnarls Barklay's Bank is he ???!!! where is Byron,? well, as he said - ITS THE WEEKEND !!! so nobody gives a **** about anything... beer, sun, sex, shopping, ... ok, so its not the weekend, but for Britishers, as soon as the sun comes it, which it is.. everyone piles in their cars, sits in traffic jams for hours in the sweltering heat, then pile on to sweltering beaches, jammed in like sardines, drink beer, get burnt, and then fight... an ideal time, for an ideal nation, Christ help me... has anyone noticed the big resemblance between Gnarls Barkley & Byron (SING!) Stingley ?? I know I've been going on about what a dreadful waste of money the BBC is, and now they want us to spend money on a ******' digibox, even though we're paying a license fee already to get programmes, so we are being ripped off twice... buuuuttttttt... there was a great programme on last week about JOHN COOPER CLARKE which I didn't put here, so here it is.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/bard_salford
you have to annoyingly install the BBC's realplayer, but give false information about yourself, I did, and look, I'm not in ******' Jail yet !!
OK, I have been a bit quiet, but, it is because I have been finishing my new Video, which will be here later, and unfortunately I'll be forced to use the dreadful and crap uTube.cok, as, to be frank, I have to get it around, you know, eeerrr , publicity 'n' all that ****'ers... after all, you only live once, or so they say... da da da da da da...
oh my God, help me please.... Alison Krauss & Robert Plant, of course they're shagging, dirty ol' git, after all, what other reason would there be for this intolerable pub Rock (although there isn't a Pub in site on their current tour - so there isn't even that redeeming feature)... the only redeeming feature is that you can get to see the ex-Zep rocker... how they've got away with it I can't imagine... I'm not sure what they're doing, its not musical, not avant garde, no tunes, not rock 'n' roll, not country, not bluegrass, just dreadful pub rock stuff that you'll see in any Pub in East Sussex on a Sunday afternoon, probably played much better, and authentically... horrid.. (I like Zep though - who doesn't ??!)... and on to Santagold... she is the next Missy Elliot isn't she, better change her name and musical direction now before she gets in too deep.. coz' from where I'm standing, weak warbling along to a backing track with 2 mildly 80's automaton style dancers/b.singers, does not an interesting or attractive prospect make... in fact , its more 'tribute' time down the local Pub (Pub theme today!!), someone warbling to 80's backing tracks... this is what they're feeding us... ??!
on to BURMA... what can I say about George Bush , what a ****, I loved it, he said (yes I saw it on teli)... we won't send in Aid to Burma unless they let in our 'Disaster Assessors' , well is that the same 'Disaster Assessors' that did such a good job in New Orleans,.. what an offer , nice guy, can't just give Aid because its the Christian thing to do, he has to give some ultimatums, what a nasty horrible person, .. well we know all know what you're up to Bushey, its called snooping, yes, plain ol' nosey snooping, twitching of the nets, see what Burma are up to while your there.. all you've got to do is have a look at the news and you'll see the devastation, it doesn't take some sneaky little Bush Assessors to work that out.. Oh , I forgot, they don't have any International News on teli in the USA, just some stuff about a dog gone missing in Wyoming... that's why, oh yes, I got it all wrong...
sorry to bang on about this - I know I've mentioned it before, and there's no excuse for banging ever is there ??! also, I am sure anyone else in the rest of the world doesn't give a **** about this, and wishes I would 'leave it out guv', or something,,, but,,, I was just eerr reading in Q magazine (does anyone know why its called this, eerr Q for 'Questions... eerr about music' - or sumthink),,, I wouldn't normally read this stuff except in the dentist/doctor/vets/cosmetic surgeon/garage repair centre waiting room/Kwik-Fit/Airport lounge/tiolet/garden/work/play/death/sleep/alive/existentialism/watching TV/war, so on.. bbbuuuutttt, I just read, and this will make you laugh (my tummies going already, ha ha ha ha ******' ha),,, Jo Wiley is a powerful woman in Rock music... well I couldn't really make it out first of all... has she be doing weights with Madonna, and now she's powerful, she can lift rocks, make a rockery in her garden (garden theme today), rock out playing violently energetic air guitar for hours.. well I don't know what it means, its a ******' mystery to me... answers to ... but, no, c'mon now, but, keep reading, I'm slowly getting there, no, now, c'mon,,, she is 42 years old, yes thats right,,, I read it (honest), she's 42,, there's me thinking she is about 16 or something due to the incessant ******' drivel we have to put up with on the radio everyday, that we are paying for (yes that's right, the BBC license pays for this turd-ess), what the **** is going on, too old for Radio 1, too young for Radio 2, she is in a terrible career 'never-never' land of identifying with the kids (mmmmaaaaaaannn), but can't play Supertramp back-to-back all day yet,,, rotton, poor sod(-ess)..mmmmmm what’s a girl to do?, head up Jo, life’s not all bad..
Pete Doherty is out in time for Glastonbury, thank ******' christ, I was so ******' concerned, what the **** were we going to ******' do without his inept twaddlings, and hopeless winey singing at this years glasto, a line up so intolerable and uninspired I would like to bomb the ******' place off the earth so I could take out all the white middle class little students on their ******' gap years at the same time... yes, a line up with eerr Pete Doherty, Shakin' Stevens , and someone called Jay, Z although that's not a correct name is it ?? hopefully they'll get him (eerr her ??) muckin' out some cows before hand... no wonder they're taking full page ads in all the papers, they couldn't sell 1 ******' ticket with this sort of line up could they... lets face it, all the middle class twats want is RadioHead , just let them have 'em every year, for christs sake.. you could let Thom Yorke play his solo stuff before they came on - that would take up most of the rest of the day, hopefully a lot of audience would wander off and kill themselves from the ******' wave of depression that came over them, leaving more space for some public displays of self-flagellation later on during the main show.
Glasto's **** off, I hate you... Eavis bird, someone kick her..
John Cooper Clarke should be filling Stadiums, I'm sure he's not bothered by this, although I am. There was the typical mixture of London arty trendies at his Union Chapel gig last night, a few old punks, and a spattering of spotty kids who think he's trendy now he's been tacked on to a Soprano's episode, and featured in the Joy Division film (crap film, excellent John Cooper Clarke).. Making people like Cliff Richard, 'Sirs' is ridiculous when you have the contribution of people like Clarke to the culture of the UK, this guy should be up there with Sir Paul, and The Pistols as cultural icons, as well as the fact that he should be the Poet Laureate (what do they do ??,,, do they meet the Queen now & then, and write a couple of lines for Royal Weddings, "Look at Camilla, what an arse, the Royal's are bastards, its a ******' farce",, or something as equally crappermost)..
I found it hard to quantify the fact that Clarke had driven to the gig in a hire car,, you feel like he is beamed in from planet Rock 'n' Roll, with his imponderably tight skinny jeans (yes, he carried on wearing them till they came back in fashion - good 'on 'im), glossy Cuban heeled boots, dark shades, and his crisp, sardonic Mancunian brain & wit working 5 times faster than any of ours,.. I started worrying subconsciously about how he looks after himself, is he eating, does Nico make him breaky in the morning, or are they starting off each day with the cash from the gig from the night before buying heroin on Broadwater Farm,, because to me it looked like he hasn't eaten yet this life, just some coffee, ciggys, and Jack Daniels... then I started thinking about those dozens of notepads he carries round with him, all packed with brilliant genius,, does he have a smoke alarm fitted in his house, because if they go up in flames , we won't be left with the huge cultural repository we deserve (as does he)... They go on about Dylan Thomas, Shelley, blah-blah, but because Clarke doesn't wear a cravat and take the easy way out he isn't celebrated with the same veneration, or is it that he is still alive ??!
You know the thing about this is that Clarke is a comedian, his anecdotes and reflections are hilarious, literally side-split tingly funny, but because he is a poet and not the cheesy fat guy who did the dance in the Office, and he hasn't sold out he is forced down. Clarke should have his own series on teli, Saturday nights with Clarke, live audience, a few bands, Lilly Allen guesting, wham-bam... but those fat-arsed lazy Ox-Bridge Channel 4 & BBC commissioners would rather have Simon Cowell, & some people decorating a house.
My observation is that someone with Clarke's inspiration , genius & talent would have no chance now. If he was 17 years old now, and trying to get supports at Digbeth Civic Hall to a load of bands he would have absolutely no chance, the climate has changed so irrevocably, you got someone just breathing in to a microphone on TV, hardly any effort and the country goes ******' bananas..... a world of identikit bands churning out the same old garbage - Clarke jokingly said TV is his window to the world, well ofcouse it is, there's no going back... not sure how he feels about playing to 800 paying punters, a lot of old punks would be more than happy with that, but then again, a lot weren't exactly Shelley were they ?
the shame about these local elections (labour dying on their feet) is that it shows that we have little or no choice, no-one is in Politics any more for the good of the community, to help people, to forward society, its just power & money... the Conservatives can't do any different, but the only choice there is the dreadful liars and backstabbers Labour, and old-Etonian club house upper crust ponses Cameron & cronies. What the hell are you meant to do?!. Along with the news that they are going to try and make milk packaging environmentally friendly by 2012, well I'll be ******' dead by then , what’s the ****** point in waiting till 2012, what’s the *****' delay.. and why only milk packaging ??!!! You get a few bits of fruit in the Supermarket (actually not Lidl!), on a plastic tray, covered in plastic film, flown round the world... its inconceivable that most of Kent & East Sussex was once growing fruit for the UK & even some of the rest of the world... Politicians have created this climate (literally!!), where you can't grow some fruit at home and sell it in your own country,,, hopeless ******' local elections, hopeless ******' politicians, and hopeless ******' dying planet.. someone lock me up in a cellar in Austria and **** relentless (by a relative ??!!) and let me give birth to my own brothers and sisters - its the only answer.. has anyone heard the expression too-little-too-late,, well thats Politics in the UK,, gotta say I agree with Obama's Preacher at the moment.............
