The bad and beautiful gLASSsHRIMP makes its post-xmas return to Resonance FM tonight, aiming to shed the excess pounds it has gained over the festive period via some vigorous gyration to some heavyweight tunes.
Our new slot is Tuesdays, from 10 to 11.30pm. Or 11pm. In typical Resonance fashion, we’re not exactly sure when it will end. Read the rest of this entry »
I’m back from my seasonal galumph around the country, feeling like I’ve spent most of the last couple of weeks on trains. The remainder of the time I’ve been working on my addiction to televised darts. I may well have seen family and friends over the festive period too, greeting them with a hug while glancing over their shoulder at the TV to check on the respective three dart averages of Ronnie Baxter and Raymond van Barneveld.

Apologies for gloating, especially if you were on a rival team. Team “Halal, is it meat you’re looking for”, featuring an assortment of clever clever types (and me) continued its dominance of the London pub quiz scene last night by winning the inaugural Rough Trade pop quiz at the Lexington last night. By a margin of 18 (EIGHTEEN) points. We’re currently working on a plan to accumulate Rough Trade gift vouchers until it has a huge off-balance sheet debt in our favour, and we can eventually walk in and say: thanks, we think we own this place now.
I’m moving house this week. I’m hauling all my belongings (which appear to be break down as 40% back issues of the Wire, 30% John Coltrane CDs, and 30% whisky) across the lawless N8/N4 frontier. Service, if indeed that is what this is, may be fitful over the next couple of weeks while I do the ISP-shuffle dance.

…you’re going to rise up singing. Then you’ll spread your wings, and take to the sky.
…with thanks to Sam at The Blogglebum Cage who tagged me in this ridiculous meme. Meme. Even the word feels like a meme. Look at me, look at me, I’m using the word meme!
“List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now, shaping your spring. Post these instructions in your blog along with your 7 songs. Then tag 7 other people to see what they’re listening to.”
OK, I’ll get this over with quick, then please take me outside and shoot me.
The gLASSsHRIMP show on Resonance 104.4FM now has a functioning website again, where we’ll post playlists, links, photos, and details of forthcoming shows (of which there are a couple of crackers coming up…you’ll have to head over there to find out). Hopefully podcasts and stuff someday too. glASSsHRIMP – it’s for your ears.
…so the robotic monkey can be packed away. What did I miss while I was away? A bit of a storm, some more of that precipitous slide into recession, and Scotland beating England in the rugby? If those aren’t the first signs of the forthcoming apocalypse, I don’t know what is. Read the rest of this entry »
..and a flash machine, obviously. With those I be hypnotising chickens; hopefully for long enough so that they don’t realise that this is yet another 2007 retrospective post which has nothing new to say about anything. Once more, in lieu of something substantial, have some fluff: the favourite images to have been created by the photo pixies that have lived in the memory of my digital camera over the last 12 months.
