Me and the missus are rambling away together on this one. It's
largely new music, bookended by a couple of more well-known things. We
Invent a new term - a weird combination of food and sex called
culiniungus. We offend the Irish and the Scots. In fact, we are as
offensively and predictably us as you could imagine.
We were out and totally smashed at the Broken Records gig at the
Bowery yesterday, followed by some hot Sneaky Pete's action. There are
some disastrously embarrassing pictures here,
if you want to point and laugh. The gig was amazing. I knew a group
like Broken Records would be amazing in a small space like that, and so
I had to do some very pointed Standing Up though, which was fucking
annoying. What the fuck is it with people, sitting down at fucking
gigs? If the room's empty that's one thing, but the room was full,
people were on tiptoes up the back, and this shower of cunts insisted
on sitting on their fucking arses down the front, protecting a meter
and a half of empty floor space between them and the band. So, as Mr.
Discreetandtactful, I went and stood in front of them. Fuckwits. The
band did get everyone on their feet after a song, which was a fucking
relief, but honestly... it's rock 'n' roll bitches, get up off your
fucking hippy folk arseholes and stop acting like the Chipping Sodbury
Chapter of the National Union of Knitting Champions. It's not, to
paraphrase a friend of mine, the fucking Teddy Bears' Picnic.
This delightful little anecdote does have a darker side, however.
Some lass tugged on my sleeve to ask me to sit down during the first
song, and I attempted to politely but firmly say no thank you.
Unfortunately I may have succeeded more at the latter than the former,
and ended up just being rude to the woman. Who was very pregnant.
Well done me. Picking fights with pregnant women isn't really all that
clever, is it. So, er, sorry pregnant lady, I didn't mean to be quite
so terse, nor did I mean to imply that you should just stop moaning
about your baby and stand up. But then, you can't really expect to sit
two metres back from the stage and object to anyone standing in front
of you either, because that's just silly.
Oh, and we met Peej, a reader from New York, who was in town for the
week and said hello. He was a really nice chap, so why he reads this
fucking site is a mystery, to be honest, but it was brilliant of him to
say hello, and then to put up with our drunken stumbling later on as
well. Sometimes I love teh internetz. Not times like this of course, but sometimes.
