A Moustache On The Mona Lisa

Check this out.

Who, in the name of Jaysus, thought that was a good idea?

Your Funeral, My Trial

Just because I was listening to him yesterday and because anyone who's ever tried to live for an extended period with another human being (Don't Start Me Talkin', to quote another of his great tunes) can recognise the sentiment, here's the great, great Sonny Boy Williamson with "Your Funeral And My Trial"

Return Of Short Arse

Great news in that Prince has announced a one off show in Dublin for June the 16th. I've only seen him live once before, years and years ago In London on the Lovesexy tour, 1990 I think. A mate of mine at the time was working in the Wembley box office and called me the day of the concert saying she had a spare ticket, it turned out to be for the VIP section so I was in the same row as members of Duran Duran! It was an incredible show, Prince arseing around on a bed and driving a thunderbird on to the stage (Not to mind his singing and playing).
Check out this clip from about 3:30 onwards to see Prince blow everyone else off the stage.

Jaysus!

Look at the state of the "suit" that this amadan turned up to the oscars in. And then he went and won! Another step forward for wuss rock, lord help us all.






P.S. I saw "There Will Be Blood" last night. Not exactly a barrel of laughs but Daniel Day-Lewis is as great as everyone says he is.

Keys Vs The '2

This is good

Slow Death

"December is the cruelest month.." Mike Scott once memorably sang but January and February are no bloody slouches either. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING going on. The New Willy DeVille album is good mind but then all his records are ace, and the new REM single sounds good although I've no love for them. No gigs on the horizon apart from Disney on Bloody Ice with the kids. If the 21 year old me met the current me in the street, he (I) would kick him (me) in the arse.
