I’m oddly happy with the state of the news just now what with Mandelson coming out and scuppering the irrelevance that is the Labour leadership fiasco and that tragic Moat bloke finally doing our idiot police a favour and putting himself out of their heavily-armed misery, and the awesome Booker planting another hobnailed boot in [...]

Standing On Your Own Two Pegs
Posted in music on 01/07/2010 | Leave a Comment »
I do like the idea (it smells like a free ride), of joining the vast ranks of the British incapable, but, sadly and unfortunately, at least to me, I know that standing on your own two feet is far, far better than getting by with a little help from your Labour-loving friends, be those friends [...]
Bucket List
Posted in bucket list, music on 28/06/2010 | 2 Comments »
I’d love to try walking route one down some busy city street like this just to see what would happen. Without the film crew, the cameras, the choreography and the overdub, I just have that sneaking suspicion it would all quickly end in (my) tears. But it’s still on my Bucket List, just after taking [...]
Strange Days
Posted in music on 15/05/2010 | 2 Comments »
We must avoid conflict in the name of stability (rather than unity). Right? Hmm. PS: I guess if we’re doing a bit of 90s East London mellow vibe peace rap, we might as well have this one too: I agree, but the new routine is starting to look just as bad as the old one. [...]
Bigotgate: The Musical
Posted in Brown, bust, guido, music, the end on 28/04/2010 | Leave a Comment »
Many things have been said. Many things have yet to be said, but will be said. But only Guido captures the summary with a beautiful number from another fallen King: Farewell, Gordon. Peace be with you. The end.
Nostaligia, 1996

This must be the tenth time I’ve posted this vid over the past year or so. Go figure. This (Labour government) has been around a very long time, and their time is very nearly through. But ours isn’t. Our time is just starting. You might not want a new Conservative government, but you, we and [...]
Make Your Mind Up

Please, please promise these people you will get out and vote. Then, perhaps, they’ll never make a video like this one again! You can thank Iain Dale for it. Honestly though? I think it’s awful, silly and excruciatingly camp, but has a very sound message about supporting your democracy – and looked like a lot [...]
The Next Debate
Posted in debates, humour, music on 17/04/2010 | 3 Comments »
I think the debates format should be more informal, maybe with a musical flavour. It’s been done before. Not only would this give the country a sense that our idiot politicians ultimately had only our best interests at heart (instead of theirs, shock horror), and would cooperate out of a sense of duty and in [...]
Late Night Music, Episode 13

The best thing about Madness in their pomp? It’s not that they were anti-intellectual liberators from Stuffyville (which is precisely what they were in 1979+). They were bloody good songwriters – and bloody good musicians, too. And in addition to those talents, they were bloody bright, as well. So sod your high culture and yer [...]
Non-Political Post No.131
Posted in music on 01/04/2010 | Leave a Comment »
I like this tune. Sounds a bit like Toto. I used to like Toto – still do, really. And the video reminds me a bit of my bedroom circa 1983, complete with Speak&Spell and dodgy black and white portable TV. Radical…
