Me as a South Park Figure

16 Feb

Well its the best resemblance I could make.

Madness

16 Feb

I got dragged off tonight by the aforementioned mad Milly to a heat of Warwick’s Bandsocs Battle of the Bands.

Performing tonight were The Sequins, Buffalo Soldiers, Flux Capacitor, JMC Automatic (aka Chris Carter) & some death metal act! We were there to support Flux Capacitor and they were pretty cool – very funky. Also very good was the vocalist from Buffalo Soldiers, he sounded like Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20. There are some photos here and a couple of interesting sound clips here and here

Another music style event from Warwick, the symphony orchestra accompanied by Ed, have been in India all week getting up to this. Bonkers!

Art of the Mix

16 Feb

I was first introduced to Art of the mix by Relly about a year ago, but didn’t really do much with it. Then I noticed Mr Shipp was also occasionally using it.

So I’ve decided to put the listing up for RaW’s FM February test transmission up. For those non RaW peeps among you, this was a test transmission for the radio station I was working on. It played out on a loop overnight before the station went live at 12pm. It is normally a big mix of chillout but I liked to spice it up with a few suitable tracks. Ready or Not is often a forgotten about, but fantastic mellow track, and the Lynden David Hall version of ‘All you need is love’ from the Love Actually soundtrack is fab.

So here’s the listing

If you actually want to hear it then follow the badgers or if in fact you have no idea what i’m talking about and you know me drop me an email/comment :-)

Grrh Argh

15 Feb

I meant to post about this yesterday but had too many stresses to sort it out.

The Wb have cancelled Angel.

I mean ARGH. Not only did we lose Buffy last season, but we got Spike on Angel and the world was happy with continued Spikeness.

Last week we had the most beautiful episode – number 100 – You’re Welcome which I won’t go into because it hasn’t yet aired in the UK and I will no doubt piss a lot of people off. But I finally got to see what I’ve wanted for a couple of seasons now in the Angelverse.

Law Ball

Flick through the galleries and leave comments! I like them!! :D (i’m very sad)

I stand in the distance, I view from afar

14 Feb

To celebrate singledom on Valentines Day, I cleverly agreed to DJ the University of Warwick’s Law Ball. I look forward with extreme anticipation and joy at playing copious love songs to happy couples.

Continuing in the current Ents Department’s very clever way of allocating DJs, I appear to be working from 10 till 4am, firstly doing an indie set and then a Top B set.

So dear readers, if any of you happen to check this site before about 7pm then please leave a comment and let me know of any suitable songs for dancing in either then romance or the indie genre!

Happy valentines day!

Where in the world?

Today’s Friday Five -

14 Feb

Today’s Friday Five – This weeks is pretty pooey

1. Are you superstitious?
No
2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?
I think my grandad wouldn’t buy a house even if he liked it if the number added up to an unlucky number.
3. Believer or not, what’s your favorite superstition?
I can’t even think of any. Erm. Lets go for something cheery. If you find a penny and pick it up you will have good luck!
4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual?
No! I’m not silly!
5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not?
No. Never really thought about it that much!!

Well that was a pile of rubbish wasn’t it! :)

Yesterday

13 Feb

Yesterday was Mel’s birthday. A celebration which will be continued onwards tonight at Soul Nation (whoo!). The girls spent a lot of time drinking from 2pm in Cholo before we took a trip to Bows (after a ridiculously short council meeting too!).

Bows is always cool, mainly cos its just chilled out and you can fart about without worrying what anyone thinks of you. I love downstairs but upstairs always is far far too hot. Anyway last night I think I proceeded to scare people by telling them exactly who they were and various things about their lives (gleaned from their blogs or wabson photos) even though they didn’t know me.

But hey, I met some really nice people who I had always seen about but never formally been introduced to. I also dragged Jessica along to thrill her with the delight of her first trip to a gay club. Can you believe that girl has lived in Blackpool all her life and never been to Flamingos! Its a travesty!

Yesterday also saw the very very expensive and exciting purchase of a new digital camera – the stunning Casio Exlim Z4. I proceeded to spend the rest of the day pissing everyone off, by taking photographs of them constantly, and I dare say this might continue for quite a while yet! :) Photos will be up when gallery starts working again !
