Zoo Thousand and Hate on the BBC

Here. Main things to be said are:* The organisers miscalculated cash flow* They had to cancel acts* Port Lympne stepped in, writing out a check for Ash there and then to ensure they'd go on stageGood on Port Lympne! I can't believe the same organiser...

Zoo thousand and HATE!

The Zoo Thousand Port Lymne festival sounds like the festival was awful, no-one really has a good word to say about it at work. At least two of the headliners did not play (but as the headliners were Athlete and Dizzee Rascal) that's not necessarily...

First review of Zoo Thousand and Eight in

Here at www.safeconcerts.com, sounds a bit chaotic, more rumours of cancellations than actual cancellations possibly though.More here, seems Lethal Bizzle was promoted to replace Dizzee Rascal, not a bad call I wouldn't have said, though one was a Me...

This is about how good I am on the guitar now

I can't decide if this is brilliant, or if he's doing all the complex stuff with his vocals. Entertaining anyway, if a bit long. Enough about the song, this performance is good too:(Hmm not sure I can embed, here it is).I first saw him doing Teardrop...

Kent Festival weekend

Why would they organise Booshstock and zoo+thousand for the same weekend? They're both fairly close (Hythe and Tonbridge) and obviously aimed at the same indie kids, this is like putting Glastonbury and Reading on the same weekend.We're not going to ...

Who will buy my Stereophonics tickets

Slight repost from Folkestone Gerald and my blog / forum there:I can't decide whether or not to go to Stereophonics next Tuesday, we have messed up a bit in arranging a lie in the following morning so it's not really convenient now. Do you want my s...

Only light rain at Glastonbury

Some rain overnight and a little more on the way at the festival, it says here in the Times, it's hardly news at all really is it. Watched Glastonbury the movie on TV last night, partly it made me really wish I was there, but when I analysed it I fou...

Did Sheep on Drugs support Gary Numan in Folkestone in 1996

I've heard this mentioned before, it's making sense now, from this blog:they made all previous supports seem like geniuses in comparison (and I include Sheep on Drugs at Folkestone Pavilion in 1996)So something happened that night to get them kicked ...

How Does It Feel's gig guide has it that David Devant and his Spirit Wife are playing Inn On The Green in West London on Thursday night. I even have Friday off! If it was actual central London I might be able to do it and get the vomit comet home. I'...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

A tape deck without pretensions

Recently I remembered we had an old portable stereo in our kitchen, unused for years and years and I thought "great, I can plug my IPOD into that" and have music in the kitchen. We have a little ipod dock and speakers combo but it's a bit worn out an...

Too old to rock

Speaking of journeys through time and space...

The Mighty Boosh festival lineup is out, as seen on posters at Folkestone station, though I'm sure I could have been quicker off the mark than that. It's a bit ropey actually. The 'Boosh themselves headline I think, with The Charlatans, Gary Numan, W...
