OLO RADIO TONIGHT!


Tune in! HairHandHair presents 2 hours of jelly-boo-boo party music before he goes and get's hammered in town.

GUESS WHO


Attended the cop shop for an ID parade for my mugging yesterday. not much to say really, very straight forward. sat in a room with this guy and 3 solicitor's who are gonna be representing the robbers. was shown 3 dvd's (each one containing 10 strange, bog-eyed, evil looking men) and was asked at the end of the screening if i had seen any or all of the 3 men who attacked me. i picked out 4..? yes, 4. was'nt sure about 2 of them, so i went for them both. don't worry only the one's who were arrested on the night will charged if i am correct. bet the 4th guy is a well respected doctor or something. i'll be getting a call soon to see if i won the game.

25..75 2 G0

It was my 25th birthday on tuesday. woke up at 6am (not through excitement), went to work in the factory, came home ate a giant pizzaexpress pizza and guzzled vodka then went out with some mates. gonna go celebrate properly tomorrow night, by saying properly i mean getting to a state where i don't know how old i am, or even being able to count to 25. join me! my watch stopped at 2am just as i turned 25. what does this mean? has this happened to anyone else? anyone seen 'logan's run'? i'm dissapointed i hav'nt achieved anything yet, i thought i would have picked a line of winning numbers by now or even been on top of the pops. thanks for all the prezzies and well wishes. every year since i was about 18 i've drawn a self portrait the night before i turn. here's this years....oh, i had a bad spilt lip and did'nt look at the face, page, think, or sit up right...

SAFTEY WORD

Everyone (but me) who works in the Fopp Factory is in a band or Dj's. here is a guy called steve's band...*said in a louis walsh voice*.."i liked them!"

Another small interview

WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?

Got 30mins sleep on a floor last night, then spent 8 hours working in a factory...i actually have a fine art honours degree u know!

FRIDAY'S KBT GIG

Went to see King Biscuit Time on friday. had a really really great night!! im still recovering, v tired..so i'll wont write much. pip dylan was brilliant as always. spoke 2 ian (pip) b4 and he said he has 8!! albums finished and may release them all! 'i walk the earth' (was my highlight, brilliant!), a cover of 'anarchy in the uk' was soo strange it worked. all new stuff sounded promising. after gig had a drink with les and colin (c-swing spacebar) and presented them with ojr caps and a spacebar ripped from a pc keyboard. they actually seemed quite happy bout their presents..ha! wish i could go 2 the london show now...new job though. went on to a club and got kicked out b4 i even paided!! don't remember why? my mate said he saw me being marched out of the doors to cheers and boos from the peasants entering. fell alseep on my stairs only seconds from my bed...why do WE do that?

POOR POOR GUY


i want to shoot Guy Ritchie! the pretentious fool. listen to the best ever film review by Mark Kermode...it's soo funny.

BISCUIT ON BUZZCOCKS

More KBT news...live radio 1 session 'listen again' up now (which is brilliant!), Appearing on 'Never Mind The Buzzcocks', 'C I AM 15' on itunes, and in real shops in real life on monday.

NEW 'CURB'

Not over here yet, but here's what HBO say's..
"Don't miss the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm. This season, Larry sets off on a search for his roots. Will he be changed by a near-death experience and a revelation about his father? Will his restaurant ever get off the ground? And whatever will become of the Larry David Sandwich?"
sounds good! i need more Larry in my life!
check out the trailers.

27. LAST BOWL OF PORRIDGE

Had my last day at the courts today, don't know if / when i'm be back in again. here's my last page of doodles...

3 BECOME 4


* John Maclean (ex beta) talks about the 4th member of The Aliens...

"We have Alien number 4. Bryan Mills singer songwriter and ex-bass player in Divine Comedy will be joining us for live shows and future recordings. Gordon and I lived with Bryan while at Edinburgh Art college in 1992. Bring on the live dates..."

* Pitchfork review of KBT 'C I AM 15'

* Caribou (used to be Manitoba) are playing at The Cube, Bristol on Oct 14th. i saw them bout 3 years ago, they knocked me sideways!

* LCD Soundsystem's mix on The Annie Nightingale show

OLO RADIO LISTEN AGAIN


* You can now listen again to the 1st Olo Radio show which was broadcast LIVE (oooh) last thursday. as you may know, the radio station was hijacked by an army of J-Lo fans before the show could be ended properly...nothing to do with my inability to click a mouse button. please let us know what you think of the show. if it's bad we'll just ignore you.

* We have updated the news section (with 2...woah! new pieces of news)

* Here's the bad news, cos we are currently building a mega multi-media-space-station, we are unable to do a show on thursday. we hope to be back next week with all kinds of gizmo's..so tune in then.

DELIFINGER'S WASP


At last! we get the ball rolling...Delifinger (1 of them Oloworms) has produced a great new song 'R.I.P My Pet Wasp'. i love it! he's got more stored away and is working on an EP which i'm sure he'll post up when it's finished. oh, and he did the artwork as well...well done that chap! Just don't expect anything from HairHandHair (cos he ain't got a musical bone to bat with)

RESFEST 2005

It's coming soon! the XL records and beck screenings should be grand. he's the info for Bristol

WHITE STALLIONS FLYING OVER BBC TOWERS

this is a joke! it actually makes me angry. use the bbc's HUGE collection of 'orignal' clips (no 'last of the summer wine' i'm afraid) to become a superstar VJ! oh how cool! it looks like something Nathan Barley has dreamt up.

BBC - "Many VJs don't even use the term VJ, preferring to describe themselves as visual mix artists, audiovisualisers, pixel jockeys, visual performers, visual jockeys, pro DJs, video jammers or even viewsicians. This might be because they don't want to be confused with 'video jockeys' "
ha ha ha ha! oh dear.

nearly every 'VJ' i've seen (including myself) stinks!

DREAM (Of Cow's)


Don't know why this dream did'nt come out well, i'll list the key words...
bath, caravan, hill, naked people, big sponges, cow, double decker bus, herd of cow's, friends, sports teacher, song, choir, "rice and pea, rice and pea"

GALANG-ALANG-ALANG (make some new music please)

* As much as i love M.I.A, i hate the fact she's gonna re-release 'Galang'...why!? there's soo many other amazing tracks off 'arular' that could be released. seems like there are soo many people re-releasing singles at the moment, i think they come across a bit desperate. suppose it is another chance to see the brilliant 'galang' video..probably in my top 10 all time vids!

* Grandaddy new album details

* I'm looking forward to 'No Direction Home', Martin Scorsese's two-part documentary about Bobby D on september 26th & 27th

STILL CLINGING ON

I left uni 3 years ago, but it does'nt stop me from pretending im still a student. freshers week is this week coming and i'll be out in the disco halls showing the new batch some proper drinking skills. how much longer do you think i can get away with it for? 25 next week!

26. ZEEROY III

BETA / KBT NEWS


*Here's the new cover for the upcoming 'Best of The Beta Band' (oct 3rd) it was designed by Robin Jones. I love it! it's a mash up of artwork from all their albums. the dvd cover is the same except it says 'film' instead of 'music'...clever that.

Not posted anything recently as my laptop decided to give up on me the other day. had to copy all my stuff to my brother's 'puter, wipe everything and start again. *yawn* well, not much has happened over the past week..still no luck on the job front, no money to do anything, and teamgoal is on its last legs. need to sort myself out and fast!

23. GHOST OF WHITELEY

In court today trying to do one of Carol Vordaman's puzzles...

I AM A BIG BIRD NOW


I was wrong. but i'm pleased Antony and his Johnsons won...well done that chap! it is a great gloomy album. i'm now looking forward to seeing HMV, virgin, etc try and market and sell the thing.

THE MERCURY PRIZE - BACK THE BIRDS


So it's the Mercury Music Prize tomorrow, and M.I.A WILL win! if not i'll delete this post..tee hee. i just wish i'd stuck that £10 i was gonna put on her at 12/1 when the list was annouced. her odds have come right down and it's not worth it anymore..plus i actualy don't have a spare penny at the moment. if she does'nt win, i hope and think Antony and the Johnsons should. would'nt mind too much if either The Go! Team or Bloc Party won it. god!, just the thought of the tv coverage makes me feel ill..Jo Wiley being all smug and knowing about it all, Jools Holland's grin and the threat of him doing a bit of 'boogie woogie' live at any moment..it worrys me.

CRYING WHILE EATING


I really wish i'd thought of this first. i've had some of my best 'turns' during meals.

BIG BABY


*Check out Devendra Banhart's new video for 'I Feel Just Like A Child'. Filmed back in 1969, it sees Devendra in some 21st century underwear...how did he do that? new album out soon!!

*Devendra Banhart also appears on a halloween record?! i don't really understand it, i think it's an american thing...(rolls eyes) yanks!

*Download the new Grandaddy tune 'Pull The Curtains' i'm never bored of them, even though this sounds pretty much the same as some of their older stuff.

*New King Creosote website.

*Watch new Clor video for 'Good Stuff'. i can't actually see it, don't know why? maybe it's the nme link..i like blaming the nme, ha!
