The Fog is Dead! Long Live The Fog!

The band that my brother was playing with / contributing to for the last three years or so and which he left in November when he moved to Belgium have unfortunately decided to hang it up.

This is the last video that they made – I have to say I think it’s great, but then I’m [...]

Power to the PEOPLE!

Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name of” is the UK Christmas Number 1!

I am so happy!

To every person who bought a copy of this excellent record;

“You rock, harder than granite in spandex!*”

(* As coined by my good friend Kathryn)

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Auf Wiedersehn in Berlin

So, what can I say about seeing Rammstein Live aus Berlin..? Sarah said it best when she told me that she had explained it to her colleagues as the German equivalent of seeing Queen at Wembly back in the day. Let’s just say that they / it did not disappoint in any way shape or [...]

I HAD to post this…

Before anyone says that…

Exciting Things…

Some friends of mine are becoming Festival Promoters…

I know what you are thinking; some of you are thinking “Oh no, I’ve got no more money for Festivals __next__ year, let alone this” and the rest are thinking “What’s the attraction of camping with teenagers and getting everything I own soaked in order to see my [...]

Things that will kill the Internet – no I’m not making a joke, it __is__ sad…

Thursday 25th of June, Michael Jackson reported dead in Los Angeles, California.

This news has rendered blogging sites and communities buggy at best and left Twitter failing to respond to every other API call.

That alone is enough evidence to suggest that anyone who wants to be has every right to be sad to hear this news [...]

Thoughts on the concert I attended on Good Friday…

I went to a concert on Good Friday, at the O2, and on the way back I wrote down my thoughts in a notebook, and I have only now “got around” to writing it up:

————————————–

There is something amazing about the power that exists in music. I was four years old when I first saw [...]

And a voice from over the water said…

I was just chatting to the most-excellent Janice, who lives in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and she recommended the coolest local band to me:

Ruby Jean and The Thoughtful Bees on Facebook

or

Ruby Jean and The Thoughtful Bees on MySpace

THIS is why I love the internet… Check them out, they are __really__ cool.
