I went with Mrs Chopper to see Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins and Aoife O'Donovan at the Union Chapel last night (first time I've been there, what a venue). Sara Watkins started talking about some guy called John who produced her first album. She asked him to come up on stage and it turned to be none other than John Paul Jones. 'kin 'ell!

The ancients had it all wrong, gents. Sisyphus wasn't condemned to roll a boulder up a hill, he was condemned to weed a garden.

I ****ing hate grass. Cut it for the first time this year 2 weekends ago and now it's longer than it was then. On the bright side, my copy of the new Tangent CD arrived this morning.

when I took Lady Fandango to see one of her favourite bands at the Brum O2 Academy back in November, a rather unfortunate incident happened to the poor bassist.

Jeez. Now I wish I hadn't read that.

Last Thursday, Sue was bouncing around the living room like a 3 year old on e-numbers, as she found out her heroes were returning this autumn, to play the Brum Institute on Oct 23rd... her birthday, nonetheless. Personally, I wouldn't have thought the poor bassist would ever have wanted to see Birmingham again after his last experience; something he would have in common with much of the rest of the country... anyway, tickets have been purchased and not only do I get another evening of radio-friendly 'corset-core' to experience, but I also get to enjoy another weekend at her mother's...

yes, and for those of you who live in the south and east of the country (which is most of you, I know), you'll probably find the price difficult to believe; you'll be adding a 2 on the front. The price reflects the fact that a) no-one wants to live in mid-Wales and b) it's of 'non-standard construction' which means that they're a bugger to get a mortgage on, so hard(er) to sell... but we aren't planning to.  |
You're not wrong about the price. That's only slightly more than I paid for a one-bed flat in SW London in 1989.

Yes, the connection there isn't immediately apparent; you do wonder what algorithms their database uses, sometimes.... at least they didn't recommend Nickleback, apparently, they often do.

bearing up under the strain of it all thanks Dean. I had thought of popping back in here to tell you that we are in the process of exchanging contracts on what promises to make me joint owner of a concrete shed. Slide 2 suggests it is one of those sturdy concrete jobs built by Powys County Council. Needless to say, the house is empty and presentable, but the shed is full of the previous owner's junk, but at least it's not likely to blow over in the wind. I was re-assured to also find that said shed also comes with an accompanying 2 bed terrace to accommodate Lady Fandango.

Somewhat surprisingly (well maybe, given that I've never actually heard The Sentinel) it was The Enid.
It has also suggested Big Big Train, Squackett, Echolyn, IQ and some band called Tinyfish.

Watching it fly away with the slice of cheese was worth it. I wish I had the camera at hand.
