Joe Pug tomorrow night. Uber excites. Going to take my EP for him to sign. Then lock it in plastic never to be touched!

Joe Pug was truly amazing. Proof that all you need to soud beefy is the right guitar, and something to stomp.

His set list was the same as his recent live release. But you know what, it was amazing. As was the venue, the castle hotel in Manchester. I wanna play there so bad.

And, to top it off, I got my mits on one of five hundred vinyl presses of Nation of Heat with his scribble on. I am now going to bed to cuddle it to sleep!

Going to see him Thursday night at the Borderline on Charing Cross Road. Third time I will have seen him live, his solo shows are pretty darned good.

Cursive touring in June.

Skints new album out this week. Rock meets ska.

Imperial Leisure 'sometime soon'. Hiphop meets rock meets punk meets reggae.

Happy days...

Saw Rammstein at the O2 Arena last night, wow!

Did you have to take out life insurance before hand?

Nah! I booked seats with a good view and nowhere near the danger zone

Please feel free to flog me.

I quite like the new Ting Tings long player.

Anyone come across a band from Warrington called The Ruffneck Riot ? I went to watch Merry Hell in Liverpool the other week and the Ruffneck Riot came on after them. I thought they were brilliant. Definite Pogues / Clash influences, an exciting live act. Girls on Accordian and banjo, lead singer on mandolin along with usual bass, guitar and drum. Fantastic racket they made. I enjoyed them more than anything I have seen in ages, and it was a free gig !
