OLO RADIO LISTEN AGAIN (27th OCT)

You can now listen again to thursday's (27th) Olo Radio show. with HairHandHair and his 'parrott pop music' the show was a hoot! check it out..the best show yet i reckon..no offence delifinger + seaweed.

BOONBEANS, YOU'RE PLAYING CATCH-UP

Right, catch up you say..ok mr kelly!..this ain't gonna be fun for either of us.
"who am i?...i was born in 1980, a son of a famous baker, i grew up the youngest of 11 brothers in a barn..."

oooh!! new look log! that's my bean mask up there^

it's been about 3 weeks since i've had a real chance to jot down my thoughts and glue in some rubbish drawings. you hav'nt seen the last of them for sure.

so, i've nearly got all my things back. laptop back in front of me where it belongs (now with a extra 20 geebees in there). the cops still have my camera and my record breaking blue checked shirt (372 apperances in town center's across the land). it's annoying being without an ipod after having it for over a year and a half. i'm borrowing my housemate's minidisc player which is forcing me to listen to stuff i've not heard in ages..forgot how amazing 'clouds taste metailic' by flaming lips is! songs about frogs, boys with massive brains, superheroes, and birds. i have a phone again! only problem is it does'nt seem to want to save names on it? now after weeks having expensive problems with my gadgets and gizmo's i am actually glad of a good old fashioned head-scratcher...there's a hole in my pocket. ...MUM!!

apart from the money it cost to repair my laptop, it was'nt really that bad because my brother mark had all my stuff saved on his computer. hmmm.. mark for some reason decided to delete my biggest folder. the nugget!! his excuse was he needed more space and chose to delete the folder because it was called 'gubbins' and did'nt sound important. it had years of scans, photoshop work, and the 1st 1/4 of my short film script (well that supose is'nt worth crying over). oh well mark you are forgiven. when things like this happen i always think of that fat fool russell grant and his 'things happen for a reason' peices of advice. no, no i don't..i think one of my favourite moments of art. this artist (forget his name) decided to destroy EVERYTHING he owed by shreading it. from bank accounts, letters from dead family members, photos, records collections, his car, passport, to his last pair of pants he was wearing. he was left with absolutely nothing! yeah, so i think i'll cope without a few scans of sweet wrapers.

i had to scrub my dirty underwear in the sink today, never done that before. hope they dry in time for work otherwise its the old upside-down sock trick again.

i'm still employed as a slave at the fopp warehouse which may surprize a few people judging by my past record. shortest job?...20mins! i was to deliver local papers, i reversed the van in their carpark and was told to get out. not right for the job said the man "why?" "..er..just, nope..not what we are looking for". so i'm starting to get settled at fopp, enjoying the back pains, bad coffee, and the 4 metal albums a day. i now know the differance between 'megadeath' and 'dillinger escape plan'...about 2 cords..BOOM! there are perks to the job...half price cds and dvds, free promos, free tickets to gigs. *cletches fist* this is a REAL man's job! you want a box? a good solid carboard box?? come and see me. you want it taped up good and fast? come see me. just as long as i'm not on my tea break eating all my lunch 2 hours early.

no real drama apart from getting chucked out and banned from the academy. all i'll say is that the dj has to be responsible and to be prepared to take the consequences of playing certain records. SFA 'the man don't give..' was not a good choice at 2.30am on freshers night with me in my state. me.."i did NOT aim at the dj!! i was aiming for the sky i swear" the beer-soaked dj.."no, everyone does'nt do it! i know what happens at them super furry gigs, and i never saw any rowdy pranks" i think he's confused.. he went to an animals performance back in the 60s. although ive read that 'house of the rising sun' was greated with bottles vomit beeing thrown in the direction of the stage.

the other week i went to @ bristol (which is a giant greenhouse with wierd creatures and strange fish) with my mum, brother and grandparents. my mum was buying the tickets for a tour when the chap on the main desk said "so thats 1 adult, 1 student, 2 oap's and 1 child" my mum (aware she may be able to save a few pennies) asked what was the child cut off age. he replied 14. HA! he thought i was 14, no! under 14!! we were all cracking up. he then looked very embarrassed. it's not that surprising that he thought i was a little child really, at the time the others were at the desk, i was kicking my feet at the other end of the entrance shouting (in a silly still-drunk-from-the-night-before voice) "mark! come and look at the giant snails, they are massive!" and "mum! can i have some money for the ribena machineeee pleeease"

whilst without my laptop, ive been spending most of the last few weeks watching the new sparkley magical beta band dvd. soo much on there! i never thought most of the footage would ever come to light. now i have a on-line dvd rental membership i've been watching a few more films. also been loving the 'mighty boosh' 1st series and the 4th series of 'curb your enthusiasm' dvds. at last they are showing 'curb..' on tv at a sensible hour (sorry i turned into grandpa there).

being without the internet for a while has made me realize how little i actually need it. i wasted far too much time reading celeb gossip, finding out about the hidden satanic messages in boards of canada albums, and chit-chatin on msn about..er..nothing at all! might start up team goal in the evenings again..hmm?

what's that? geri halliwell's pregnant!!! why did'nt anyone tell me!??

SORRY MISS..MY DOG ATE IT

A self-portrait i drew while looking into a mirror in a kebab diner on tuesday night...

God! it's been ages since i last wrote on here. i'll do a proper round-up (round-up!?? what am i saying? it's not sky news) soon.

COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN

My laptop shut down yesterday (for the 3rd time) and now its dead! this is the last in a long line of techee things giving up on me within last few weeks. first my ipod, camera and phone were nicked, then my scanner broke, then my watch stopped on my birthday, laptop died, and last night my lightbulb went! ha! odd. maybe i'll go back to basics and paint and draw again instead of spendin too much time on the net. so, thankfully u won't be hearing from me much over the next few weeks while my laptop gets fixed. byee nerds...real life here i come!!

PAT BUTCHER ENJOYING A PINT

My brother's girlfriend Mandy made me a skeleton necklace for my birthday..although there's no reason why i'm wearing girl's earings in this photo taken on saturday.

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!"

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

U KNOW IT MAKES SENSE

Mcd's is the only thing that can save me now!
*burps..1000 booze bubbles escape*

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!!

*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!
