Not a review, just a heads up. These two grand pop bands are currently touring together. So for one ticket, you can have twice the pop!
I’ll be the fat Indian bloke at the Nottingham show…
I thought it’d be dead tonight because it was bloody freezing (again). Not even the frosty pavements put off the regulars. My car door was frozen shut!
I had great fun as usual and the best dance of the night was right at the start to Death Cab’s ‘Sound Of Settling.’ That’s just an ace pop [...]

The only downside of tonight was the smokiness - I now smell like an old man’s rancid leather tabaccy pouch. Yuk.
But apart from that, it was another top-hole night. I saw a lot of people enjoying themselves to Squarepusher, AC/DC and Jeans Team. Again, loads of requests, most of which I managed [...]

Video footage played in court apparently showed an officer repeatedly kicking Delbo King while on the ground.”Source: BBC News
I’ve just seen the CCTV footage and there’s no apparently about it. You [...]
“Police want to interview every serial killer in the UK in an attempt to better understand how they operated and to identify how early arrests can be made in future cases with other killers, it emerged today.”Source: The Guardian
So, the police wish to better understand the mind of serial killers? I can understand that: in [...]
“Five of the nine Britons held without trial by the Americans at Guantanamo Bay are to be returned to the United Kingdom, Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, announced yesterday.
As their families celebrated their release, international concern focused on the plight of up to 660 terror suspects, including a further four Britons, still being held in [...]
Last night I went to this:
The Future Of Sound (Part One)
Tuesday 17 February
19.00
The Princess Anne Theatre
A very big subject indeed… Sound is often regarded as the ‘poor relation’ in the field of the creative arts. Illustrious Company (Martyn Ware and Vince Clarke) are hosting a stimulating and imaginative event discussing the future of sound in [...]
