keep yer chin up


my motto ;

i rather have a bottle in front of me
than a frontal lobotomy

life is peachy when you find something really obscure on limewire that you've been after for yonks. i got 'hula kula' an old roxy music b side last night. class. i am officially, a happy bunny.

I got that on the Thrill of It All box set along with the other 7" vinyl only stuff: Your Applications Failed, Sultanesque, South Downs, Trash 2, Always Unknowing, Pride and the Pain and Numberer. If I remember correctly the version of Angel Eyes on that compilation is the 12" single rather than the album - might have to check that out tonight.

i was actually going to buy that just to get hula kula! 'sultanesque' isn't bad either. i love it when bands put a brand new track on the b side of a single. it doesn't make sense to me when an artist slaps an album track or a live version (unless it's radically different) on the b side. if it's a new track, i'll buy the single, if not, they can shove it up their arse.

Agreed, Richard has the courtesy to re-work his singles so they are different to the album tracks and add a new b-side which is brilliant, and most bands add new b-sides to single releases, but some just offer re-mixes of the original track - sometimes that's good (I loved the re-mixes of Seal's Love Divine for instance as they were fast as opposed to the original slow version) but sometimes there's barely any difference.

i am so giddy! booked tickets for the sheffield gig, i'll be going to fagans, i'm on holiday for a week now, my son comes back from france on saturday and his gcse results were top. bloody fantastic. have a good bank holiday weekend everybody.

more gigs in this 2 weeks than i have ever had, i am absolutely gubbed yet so very satisfied.

Very happy - at last my dentist has agreed to take out one of my wisdom teeth on Friday........... you never know I may be able to get more than three hours sleep a night............. and I'll be my usual cheerful self instead of the bitch from hell every morning!!

I can highly recommend the injection you can get to make you calm during wisdom tooth extraction. It s a bit like that episode of Father Ted where Father Jack drinks the toilet cleaner. Psychadelic for a bit then you cant remember a thing that has happened. Good stuff!!

I wish I could - it would be lovely to forget the whole experience!!

....................... but then I'd have to find someone to take me home - and I hate losing my independence.................. even for 5 minutes!!

This is true. I roped my mum into driving me home and apparently i was gibbering like a lunatic all the way home...nothing new there then!?
