BLAST FROM THE PAST (Man Jumps In Pond)

The 1st in a series of old video clips which i'll be posting from now on. i love this clip soo much! it always makes me smile. it's from about 2 or 3 years ago, filmed by my mate Tom, it features big drunken fool James Davidson jumping in a pond (the reason is still not clear to this day?). We were at village fete type thingy, everyone else had gone home..we all stayed and drank and drank. i love my mate Stuart's stupid laugh. the next day the owner of the grounds found his statue (that gets pushed over by James) broken. James owed up as he felt guilty and was told he had to fix it..so, who ya gonna call??..yep! me! James called me up (because as he told me "you've got the artistic touch"), few hours later we had mixed a load of concrete, and sculpted it to match the rest of the statue. good as new!

THE BEAN MASK STRIKES AGAIN

Went to a masked pub lock-in last night (wonder if i'll be able to say that again?)

IN A PERFECT WORLD

i would have a new pair of socks every morning like jay-z and kanye west..the lucky guys.

OK, YOU CAN LISTEN TO OTHER RADIO SHOWS AS LONG AS YOU COME BACK TO OLO

Listen agains..

* You've gotta hear this! 'Urban Classic' i admit it sounds terrible, like a new 'cool' scheme devised by teachers or something. i hate the word 'urban' it really winds me up.anyway..basically its the BBC Concert Orchestra working with a load of grime artists. it happened on thursday and was broadcast live on saturday. it works!

* The Aliens 1st EVER live session (well..if you discount the Old Jock Radio shambles last year) click on 'listen again' at the top.

* Hot Chip session from last week

TOUCH THE SKY

The new Kanye West 'Touch The Sky' video. brilliantly over the top. thanks to Dudley for alerting me to it.

KISS N TELL

1) Chantelle. not a very surprizing or interesting story, but she did come out with this really funny quote..

“Things happen in people’s lives that completely change their lives. You could be married and go to the baker’s because you’re feeling hungry — and then fall in love with the baker. Things happen that are unpredictable.”

ha! brilliant! not sure if she's ever actually been into a bakers? *shudders* ooo..greggs girls.

2) Pip Dylan!! yes!..little old Een from the Fence Collective spilling the beans on KT Tunstall. can't believe this was in the mirror!? some funny lines from the story..

KT once said: "Here I was, 26, 27, a daughter with a good education who was living with a scruffy urchin musician in a cottage with no heating and a dog that smelt - and I was on the dole."

"But while KT is enjoying the trappings of success, the same can't be said of the members of the Fence Collective. Though they can boast of an underground army of fans, they are notably most famous only for drunken rambling shows at their local pub in Fife, and for releasing home-recorded albums."


thanks to katecanaveral for finding the story.

ZZZZZZZZ

How posh is James Blunt!! "golly gosh, i've won..blimey! you really like me??"damn! it was dull. thank god for the american's coming over and saving this year's brits from being a complete yawn-fest. pats on the back for Kayne West (and all his golden girls), Prince, the guy from Pharcyde and the Gorillaz happy-slapper kids. there is soo much exciting british music being made, why do we as a nation celebrate the dullest and wettest singers and bands? yeah and someone please point out to chris evans it's 2006.."get off my tv!! you're finished mate." oh, one last thing..who was the fat nutter that ran on during one of the speeches? was it chris martin's future fatter self from 2020, like in the prom scene in 'back to the future'? "chris!! don't look him in the eyes or the world will end!!" ..oh, wait a minute, it has...blunt's just started singing again.

DON'T BOO HOO

"GOLD! ..GOLD! WHY DON'T YOU BELIEVE I'M GETTING OOOOLD?"

Stepped out of llyods bank the other day feeling like tha BIG guy on campus with my new GOLD card (aaaawwwww!!)..this doesn't really change the fact i have no money and owe them 1000's of pounds, but anyway..i can now large it over the peasants down my road and feel flash when buying my beans 'n' booze in sainsbury's. well..it didn't quite play out as i'd imagined. got asked for ID five minutes later in sainsbury's trying to buy a bottle of stella.

TEAM GOAL (4th Term)

No big fun fair this time, i'm just gonna get on with it. i've already been sweating buckets of fat in my little DIY gym (photo above). for anyone that doesn't know about Team Goal, very briefly..it began as a joke get-fit team (i was the only member). i started it back in the summer of 2003. turns out it was no joke, it worked, i lost two and half stone! during the past 3 years i've been yo-yo-ing like vanessa feltz, spending half the time working out on the Team Goal plan and the other half scoffing lard with the Fat Arse Dance Troupe (one of my other clubs). i'm not happy in the middle. let the 4th term last a lifetime!

LAST WEEK IN THE CROWN COURT

Stupid little drawings, drawn underneath the judge's nose..









we had a doctor come into court called DOCTOR CAT PASTA!?? have you ever heard a better name than that!?

BLOGS ARE BAD FOR YOU (Go Run Around The Block Naked)

I've noticed i act really strange if i don't blog for a few days. i pace alot. it really plays on my mind..which now only operates like a hard drive, with folders within folders within folders of things to do / see / make a note of. the hard drive in my head stores all kinds of things that don't help my bank balance. quotes from court, ideas for future radio shows, and new song titles that involve food. the last few hours i've spent pacing around my room adjusting little things and shuffling sheets of paper (that i will later scan and post on here, but can't bring myself to do now..hmm?). good lord!..there's NO point to this, what i'm writing now! drivle!! blogs are bad for you. and me. hmm..anyway, i'll get some sleep now and transfer all the unnecessary worry into the form of a great white shark which will no doubt be feasting on me and my pet dog later in my dream. good night, sleep tight, hope the big fish bite you tonight.
