Duffy, the sanitised Amy Winehouse.. As if Amy’s retro derivative trots weren’t difficult enough to put up with, now we have the cleaned up version,, the Radio 2 Amy, as if there could be such a thing ??! at least now, Radio 2 execs don’t have to think about whether to stick Amy on or not.. (adopt whiney Nathan Barley, I was educated at Oxbridge but I’m pretending to be Keith Richards type voice) ‘will it be a bad influence on the kids?’ ! ‘will they all go out get retro hair, sing like Ronnie Spector and take heroin ?’! and the other thing eerr... ‘should we be lining the coffers of a drug addict, so she can afford to eerr buy more drugs ?!’.. now she seems to be off the calling card coz we have Duffy... its not Chrissie Hinde, master songsmith and beautiful warbler, its not even Robin S, superb dance fiery meister, or even Janice Joplin, or even Aretha, its not any of ******’ these, its watered down soul sung ok, all tearfelt like it should mean something, when of course it doesn’t as she’s only sixteen and can only feel whether she has a F***** period or not, ,, not exactly ‘mad bad dangerous to know’, its all so acceptable, yawn ****** yawn.. beam me ***** up, its so **** booorrriiinnnggg...
and on to the Mother****** Pitchfork media, can you believe that these people are taking over the ***** world of music, they are the US NME, except they are college kids (or like to think they are), and are so right on and **** trendy their web site beams out at you c****, c****, c****, over and over, collegiate little turds writing endlessly about eerrr, uber conservative rockers Coldplay, and eerrr, their very most favourite band of all time ***** Arcade ****** Fire, who are cross between a numb U2 and Athlete with some twatty little college girl in stripy tights on ukulele god ******’ help me. and that's it, that's the web site, its been the same for 10 years, looks the same, that sort of trendy grey writing on grey so you can’t see it proparly so it must be ‘right on’, and very small writing, so they can pack so much insightful new music in, like,, eerr Coldplay , and eerr Arcade Fire... and now eerr MGMT... will Pitchforkmedia.cok be running for President, as the head of the eerr Republican Party, the answer is yes , toooo... how do these people survive, I hope they’ve all got something up their sleeve, it can’t last forever ? like Friends Reunited, and eerr ‘Sounds’ - where are they now ? did I swear a couple of times there, ohhhh,, sorry about that C****..
I have to mention the Culture Show once again, .. I know it makes 'Culture' trendy, and mainstream, but, someone has to do it... Lauren Laverne always great and interesting outfits, and always a great cross-section of different happening stuff.. if you can't get out that much (dodgy legs, no money, scared of birds, fuel shortages due to strikes) this show is a brill' sum-up of everything eerrr cultural...although I can't see where Richard Hawley & Elbow fit in.. which brings me to Annie Leibovitz , and, the retrospective on BBC1 last night, it was mildly interesting, but overall a bit disappointing... She took some picis, hung around with Susan Sontag, and eerrrr, took some picis and hung around with Susan Sontag... there was a lot of pictures of her eeeeeerrr pictures but you did get the sense that it was 'right place right time' for most of her good work, and she just kept on snapping... nice picis but for me not life changing and she didn't really take any chances, except to go to the Bosnian war.. but she wouldn't have done that except for Susan S.. it was ok..
I just heard on Radio4 we are a country of whingers, thank God I've had that confirmed, I thought it was just me !
just a reminder to everyone here's my new video, get over to uTube.cok, and give me some support, and.. eeerrrr all you nice people in the U.S of A.. a full Radio campaign starts for me album in the Autumn over the ponderrello... nnniiicccceeeee... here it is...
this is just a brilliant show, writing so clever and quick its about the only thing on teli worth watching... its based on the classic 'odd couple', 2 guys who have ended up living together with a 'love - hate' relationship, always inexplicably drawn back together replacing any emotionally mature relationships with their childish immature ideals, and, as one has an upward career trajectory (not by design), the other has to come to terms with failure, even though they are both character failures, they have a host of resentments boiling around in their apartment... what I like is the fact that they have both obviously gotten older in the series, and yet its impossible for them to get away from each other... it is hilarious and cringey, definitely tops 'The Office', in the laughter stakes.. very good acting, believable characters and brilliant cutting writing... not sure I ever say well done to Channel 4, after all they are the most annoying channel on teli, but eerrr.. well done Channel 4.. its a little piece of art flowing outtta the screen, brill...
... on a rather nice note.. I seem to be getting quite a few people watching my new video on uTube... which has surprised me, its only been there a couple of weeks and I've already had 70 odd views... who's watching ????!!!
well we all know I'm not a fan of football, its not so much the football, its the bozos who follow it... everyone knows its a minority sport yet every second that they can batter us with endless adverts and excuses to sell barbecues and beer on the back of it, will be, eerr .. spent... we couldn't even qualify for the Euro cup this year (is it the Euro cup? - I dunno, I care so little I feel the floor opening up as I write this.. I am sure someone will know)... the news is that the Scottish have turned their attention to supporting Poland, just so they can support someone, what a load of idiots.. apparently Sports World in Glasgow have been selling out of Poland shirts coz' the hapless idiots have nothing to turn their attention to but Poland's team... ******' ****'*.. what can I say.. Our British players so useless, overpaid, overweight, overburdened with wags spending their money that they can't run round a bit of green and kick the ******' ball in to a goal... lazy stinkin' overpaid, under talented, inept bozos who should be on the building site or at the checkout at PizzaHut.. especially Wank Rooney, as I was just enjoying his 'Lad Mag Wank' Stag night,, eerr week, eerrr month eerrr year, where he, and some pals from the check out at PizzaHut spent around £10,000. a head along with Villas, Clubbing, etc, etc (paid for by overworked Rooney).. I mean, I realise he isn't that well educated , but c'mon, isn't it rubbing everyone's noses in it, the fact that they can't even do what they are paid to do, and the criminal amount of money spent of Vodka jellies, and his fat tart of a (future) wife, plucked from the checkout at Asda, to spend £5. million on her Hen dooo.. ignorant would be a compliment as there can't be any other explanation, when figures have just been released that poverty amongst young people in the UK is on the up, these people should be disgusted with themselves... someone feckin' shoot these people, and take Mugabe with them..
i love to see people protest, that's the basis of everything that the UK stands for , democracy is a great thing, and to use a bit of a cliché, something that we fought for... I probably draw the line at supporting Muslim extremists protesting against a democracy where they are allowed to protest (perhaps go back to Iran where they may have different views on public protest against the government)... I have to 'big up' the Plane Stupid' people,,, I wish I had their guts,,, I don't agree with everything they say, but you gotta give it to them, they are givin' it a go, and they are making it difficult for those in power, which is how it should be... I liked the balloons with rape alarms taped to them that disrupted plane takeoffs, simple but brill' idea... go Plane Stupid's...
can someone tell me why nobody has shot Robert Mugabe whilst he's in Rome?,, isn't that where the Mafia are meant to be, someone must have the *******' wherewithall to take the ******' **** out.
I like the idea of driving round the outback all day, mending fences... I was just reading about the Fence men in the Australian outback fighting a losing battle against wild dogs, dingoes (whatever they are), rabbits, and eerr Emus! I had no idea there was a 1400 mile fence across Western Australia protecting farms,,, a little bit like painting the Forth Road Bridge, a never ending job battling against damage caused by wild dogs, and time... its a fantastic romantic idea,, apparently only 6 guys look after the whole fence and it costs the agricultural ministry $400,000. a year,,, I like that, do they listen to Steppenwolf all day with their pincers and eerr tools.. its a losing battle at the moment, and I would like to think there is always a job there for me,,, ooonnneee dddaaayyyyyy.. (dreamy mood).. and moorreee interestingly, 24 rabbits were introduced by an English Farmer in 1859, and within a few years there were millions of marauding bunnies(twat)...
nice idea .... mmmm... Steppenwolf... 'pass me them there pliers' (in an Australian accent)

you gotta give it to Obama, he's giving it a go.. I'm fairly worried about him, after all, he's Black, how he is going to turn around the working classes?, the NRA typeeees?, and middle America I don't know... Also, I have started to feel a bit for Hilary, after all that 'running' business is absolutely gruelling, are they earning anything whilst they are doing it ?? or are they putting in all their own money ? The trench that the USA has dug for itself though is so deep its difficult to imagine anyone capable of pulling them out of the crisis.. The thing is you have to 'big' them up, don't you, after all, its an unbelievable thing to think that any one person can get to the top of the pile like they have, it drains me just thinking about the huge amount of work thats involved and the humungous amount of money invested in these people getting to the top in just about the most powerful nation in the world... what will Hilary do when its all over, , and a bit of gardening, and cooking for the family ?? hard to imagine...
and on to the Spanish Fishermen, I put this in just because I like the picture so much... its difficult to sympathise with the Spanish Fisherman since they have had exclusive rights in the EEC for so long, as UK fishermen look on powerless whilst the Spanish enter our waters and hoover up all the fish in factory ships... it is about time there was some balance,,, but a great pici... grab that fishy madam...
here's the full story... http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/may/31/oil.fossilfuels
and here's me!!
am I the only person who has not the least interest in these groups... are we being pummelled by them?, I can't turn a corner without the haggard smokey face of Weller looking down at me... his new album is meant to be experimental,,, if only it was the 'mental' in 'experiment' I may have some interest,,, but its the usual derivative load of Wilco Johnson & Small Faces influenced rubbish.. even Stevie Marriot moved on to Humble Pie, Weller just keeps moving backwards... as for the Zutons, there's a reason why they are always hiding behind the girl.. and its not because they are an ugly bunch, its because they can use some good looks to cover up the inane load of indie type twaddle they serve up... Weller is the Cliff Richard, and the Zutons is eerrr the Marty Wilde ?!
in fact... I'm so into the knife thing at the moment the whole knife culture could of-course be combined with Festivals.. you know, knife orientated bands, National Front stalls, circle of death type fairground rides, but with eeerrr... knives, its so so gleaming, lovely, clean, nice, as another 2 kids bite the dust today through knife crime it would be an answer wouldn't it, glam it up, celebrate the culture, coz' at the moment we've got a lot of hopelessly out-of-touch politicians bringing in rafts of new legislation(s) (I should say legions of legislation shouldn't I, then try and relate it to a legion in the leg or something, but then that would be too ******' clever for even me)... oh, what was I saying, yes, legislation trying to curb the enthusiasm (sorry Larry) of energetic young kamikazes... thus making it more cool, and more fun and more illegal to carry round knives.. what I say is make it all legal, make knife crime a school curriculum subject, and then watch as the little sprites walk away from knifes in droves as its no longer cool.. Why not a knife bank holiday?.. a eerrr ‘knoliday’
I was just reading that 20% of the population of the UK has never sent an email or looked at a web site.. I like that... now that is cool. They're not ******' missing anything are they ?!
I just read the depressing statistic that about 12 million people go to Festivals in the UK each year... it can't be for the music can it, after all?, who would pay to see Sigur Rusks,,, no music, no melody, no beat, no lyrics to speak of, well no nothing except they live in an isolated , barely inhabited no-mans-land, where really fishing should have been made compulsory for all inhabitants... that's 12 million times about 100, that's 12 hundred million squiddlies (on average spend of 100 squiddlies per person per festivas), that's a lot of dough,,, think of the joy you could bring to the Sun reading population of Britain if you bombed every Festivas, monkey-ape man would rule, 24 hour Eastenders and football on teli round the clock, sweaty polystyrene football strip t-shirts as mandatory wear,... Oh I forgot, all the football fans are at Festivases now.. ******' bomb them please
