Frank Skinner last night

Quite a good gig last night, Frank was funny and rude, and likeable because of his self depracating ways. He did two sets, with an interval, and then came back to do a little song on his banjo too. He's on tour for another two months, so see him if y...

Frank Skinner tonight

Off to Frank Skinner tonight at the Leas Cliff Hall, my first gig-like event in a long while, even though it'll all be old people like me sat down. Tomorrow, we're after buying tickets for The Cure if we can, that surely will be different......

It's not the show that's on TV, he's just being interviewed

It's on BBC Newsnight or something, but it's on at about quarter to six, so not Newsnight. The trailer was meant to be a load of outtakes from Ricky talking to camera, but it looked lame and unconvincing really.Not seen this show, so that's a treat f...

There is another UK Skink doing the rounds

Lovely weekend, thanks for asking

Had a few beers on Friday night in The Coal Hole on The Strand, a few more more than the one I intended, but great to see people. Was running late (having put the popex redesign mostly live), so had to get a cab there from work. It's stupid but I fel...

not asking for your name?

I don't know, some cookie wonkiness maybe... did it just remember your name? It ought to do that but it never seems to... you can register here I think, so you can edit etc like on www.popex.comOff to check out your gigography then! I am a bit worrie...

You didn't say they'd be busking in the street!

They ARE however playing The Junction later - tossers that they are. Better not get in the way of my pub crawl with their antics!

Crispin Hunt and Mike Skinner

Don Estelle

The unlikely Seventies chart topper and star of "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" was singing and selling cassette tapes outside Sainsburys in Basingstoke's thoroughly unpleasant shopping mall.This may also be a vision of the future for Adam Rickett, a modern ...

Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

Godspeed You Black Emperor have a new album out ont October the 9th on CTS Records, and that, above, is the title. Shouldn't it be "antennae" though, and not "antennas"?They've written a lot about the forthcoming platter, the only bit I could underst...
