Guess what I just saw an ad for? The Mighty Boosh season 3, Al got me into this over Xmas last year. It’s quite frankly one of the funniest shows on TV and proof that the Brits (and BBC in particular) write the best comedy. It is definitely in the same vein as Blackadder, Monty… Read More
Nice one
Off to see Will Haven play The Islington Academy, not a fan really but entered two draws to get put on the guestlist and got both of them, ha ha ha ha. It’d be rude not to go. Two days left in the week … Later days,Halo.

Head on a stick
I’ve just updated the WordPress code here and on the Alchemist Cafe so it’s a little bit more secure, allows you to tag posts and a whole plethora of little things I probably won’t notice. The tags have allowed me to tag each gig with the (important) bands that played a gig so you can… Read More
Gig Review – NOFX, Brixton Academy, 4th of November 2007
Support:TAT I spent the day hanging out with Alex and Shonagh and hadn’t left their place till 8 so I’d miss the support acts, get in get a good position and just see NOFX. No such bloody luck. After grabbing a t-shirt and CD (£12 and £5 respectively) and dumping my bag in the cloakroom… Read More

Price of reality
So I’m no big Sony fan, but I did get a PS2 at the European launch oh so many years ago. The machine is still at home (actually think Turlough may have somehow got someone to swap the original for a slim, he’s that good) and it is still working (OK I think the original… Read More
Gig Review – Amen, The Underworld, 31st of October 2007
Support:The Inbreds I made a point to not turn up till just before Amen should have got on stage, rolled in just before 9 and checked out the merch (a bit pricey to be honest but Casey is smashed). Then wandered down to the stage, the place was half empty and then The Inbreds started.… Read More
Gig Review – Imperial Leisure, The Borderline, 26th of October 2007
Support:Lazy HabitsWork In Progress I’ve never actually been in The Borderline, which is unusual as I’ve been here almost two years. It is a nice small venue, good sound and well laid it (except for the stage being a bit near the door). I got in just as Work In Progress was finishing, they seemed… Read More

If you missed the news, Gmail now does IMAP, sweet so that’s all my email accounts on IMAP. Now if iCal and Google Calendar played nice and could synch so I can edit/view my calendar online and with iCal that’d be great. Wonder if I’ll get any ping back spam from this post. Later days,Halo
