Month: April 2004

Can I go to sleep now?

It’s only Tuesday, and I need a break.

Caught up with winterthing last night, which was very nice, am going to see a preview screening of Shaun of the Dead tonight, should be visiting the parents and going to the gym tomorrow, and I think I have about three different options for Thursday night. This would be fine, except I appear to have developed a slight cold. That annoying kind of cold where it’s not serious enough to justify staying in bed with tea and biscuits and DVDs like I want to, but is enough to annoy by leaving me just slightly achy and tired at the office. Knowing me, I’ll make it through the week feeling a bit fuzzy, and then on Friday, I’ll develop the full blown lurgy, just in time to spend Easter in a coma. But hey, at least I can rise again on the third day, in keeping with the season.

Oh, and while I’m thinking of it, for the benefit of winterthing and budgie_uk, or y’know, anyone else out there looking for hosting, I’d recommed either:

http://www.pinchpenny.org

or

Home

Both of them provide slightly more features than the average user will need, but both do it at a price that beats out a lot of the ultra basic hosting companies I’ve seen.

Sunday evening, nothing on the telly…

Anyone reading this fancy seeing Gothika this evening? I feel the need for shitty horror movies…

(Actually, that’s not true – there’s a weird number of good films, on telly tonight, but I think we’ve got all the ones I might watch on DVD anyway, and I fancy going to the cinema.)

Jason Webley

I’ve gone about him at length before. I know I have. But that’s not going to stop me doing it again, as I’ve just discovered that he’s got a new album due out next month, and he’s going to be touring the South of England this summer either side of playing Glastonbury, and will apparently be playing somewhere in London on June 23rd. He’s also got a couple of Brighton dates. I will be attempting to drag as many people as possible to see him, because he’s utterly fucking brilliant, and deserves to be better known in the UK. You’ve all been warned.

So, in order to put everyone in the right mood:

Go here and listen to: “The Graveyard”, “Drinking Song” and “Train Tracks”.

Go here and listen to: “Devil Be Good”, “Dance While The Sky Crashes Down” and “Last Song”.

Go here and listen to: “Halloween” and “Music That Tears Itself Apart”.

And even if what you hear on recording doesn’t grab you, come and see him anyway, because it’s in the live show that his performance really shines. There’s a review of the sort of antics he gets up to at a live show in his home town here.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled nonsense. Expect remainders of all this nearer the time.
