Everybody wants to rule the world by Spider, BD, TMGJ & FatOlive

Kent protests too much. He's been known to rock a Metallica tune now and again!

That's literally never happened.

Stranglers were on the money Friday evening in Brixton. Rarely fail to disappoint.

Senseless Things tore the house down in Shepherds Bush tonight. Place was bouncing. Spotted Ian Broudie, Jimbob Carter & Matt Bellamy in the crowd. And got to meet one of my teenage heroes - Gerry from Mega City Four. Had beer with him & his Mrs pre gig. Pretty much just chatted about football. Top bloke.

 

Forgot to mention I bumped into SKD on the train on the way down there. Cannot believe he was working for Sky but travelling in cattle class with the great unwashed! Had a quick chat with him. Nothing much to report though.

That's literally never happened.

Indeed it has. Sad but True.

They have been oddly linked with the Alt Right in the States. Lead singer has expressed his dismay. Recent article in The Guardian

 

Thought you'd have your finger on the pulse.

I knew about that. Was just confused by your question. As you say, they've distanced themselves from it.

You anticipated my next move. Fair play lad. My knowledge of the band extends no further. ????

There's no need to get personal. Jesus!

Gòod turnout from here.

Excellent pre-gig drinks in the lower turks.

Piss poor report that, you said you were doing a full one, expected a mention of your benidorm 'friend' at the very least.  

 

Turks was spot on in the sun and grabbing a lift back from our late arriving mutual friend made getting home much easier.

I was thinking it was my ears, sounded much better at Download.

 

Someone asked what lager was on in the Turks, reply from barman 'Trooper mate'. 

The Nynex I'd passable sound wise for headliners when the place is packed and the volume is up.

 

But I went to see Clapton with my dad and his blues twiddling was lost in there.
