I don’t have any decent photos to share but The Volunteers did not disappoint. They sounded as great as when I first heard and instantly liked them (recently I had been questioning my enthusiasm) and I don’t think they stopped playing the whole time, jamming right from the start of their sound check to the end of their song and every moment between. The event was reported to start at 20:00, 21:00, 21:30 and 22:00 at different websites so we turned up alone at 22:00 and waited an hour for other people and eventually bands to turn up. The Wicks were good as usual, this time sounding more like a Kings Of Leon impersonation than a Modest Mouse one. Perhaps due to the delayed start George And Queen played last, but I was that interested and didn’t stick around. Nor did I see Pink Fluffy Islands, but their possible performance was only mentioned on The Wicks’ site.

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009Though I did attempt to get some numbers for an assignment today I watched more of Charlyne Yi after finally catching up with Kate Micucci who (along with her partner in Garfunkel And Oats, Riki Lindhome), as it happens, also plays at the Upright Citizens Brigade and likes Helen Hunt And The Twisters [Edit: Actually that is Charlyne playing with Kate! and Dave.]. Dear deer, I need to go to L.A..

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008Is there any research on smells affecting dreams? The last part of my last dream this morning was about [probably processed] turkey to go in sandwiches, and it’s all I could smell when I woke up.
Actually I could smell other things when I put my mind to it, but something about my duvet or its surroundings gave the same aroma as that particular sandwich meat.

Monday, March 31st, 2008We’re already a quarter of the way through the year. On reflection here are a couple of thoughts from this period:
The sex life of rough sleepers.
Why I haven’t recorded a version of Hallelujah.
I thought I could probably tick a number of things off my Wanted list by now, but it seems I already removed the pillow and other household items. [Edit - Turns out they were on a shopping list, the contents of which I obtained from various sources.] But the first (3D glasses) and middle (camera) items are a start, and for my birthday in a couple of months I will get myself the second (Heelys) (the new middle item is screen wipes for Colin but his bought day is many months away).
