Howdy Doody*
Is it me or are the nights starting to draw in? Y'know, it's getting dark earlier, and colder too. Already strange men have started selling pumpkins at the side of the road and, just last night, the sound of fireworks could be heard in my street. The year seems to have just flown by.

Damn, I'm getting old.

Moving swiftly on, in a rare display of multi-tasking I was able to peruse the back pages of this week's NME whilst simultaneously fixing Smudger's laptop (hella yes), hence the following local gigs for local people:
The Paddingtons @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 02/11/2006
Fortune Drive @ Lennon's, Southampton - 04/11/2006
The Paddingtons @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 08/11/2006
The Aliens @ Audio, Brighton - 01/12/2006

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly @ Southampton University, Southampton - 18/01/2007
The Boy Least Likely To @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Southsea - 24/01/2007 (Rescheduled Date)
Just as soon as I can be bothered I'll add those into the SoMC's Events Calendar. And now, a message from our sponsors..
The SoMC Events Calendar is chock-a-block full of gigs coming our way over the next few moths. In order to trawl through this valuable resource you'll need to be registered on the SoMC forum (if you're not registered then, well, you can't. them's the breaks I'm afraid). You'll also be able to make postings on the forum as well plugging this, asking that or posting up a link to something on YouTube (g'won, go nuts and post something).
And now back to our regular programming. Here's a selection of local gigs up and coming that I've found in my journeys across the internet:
Ezio @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - TONIGHT! Sold Out
Rick Wakeman & Jon Anderson @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - TONIGHT!
Hudson10 @ Chicago Rock Cafe, Southsea - TONIGHT!
Kate Rusby @ The New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth - 19/10/2006
Sandi Thom @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 19/10/2006 Sold Out
Jason Donovan @ Chicago Rock Cafe, Fareham - 02/11/2006
Amplifier @ The Joiners, Southampton - 19/11/2006
Tony McPhee @ The Joiners, Southampton - 10/12/2006
Barenaked Ladies @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 01/04/2007
The Napalm Death gig at The Brook tomorrow night has been cancelled, as has the Amy Winehouse gig at The Wedgewood Rooms on 20/11/2006. The Ed Harcourt gig at The Wedgewood Rooms, postponed from 14/10/2006 due to a touch of laryngitis, is yet to be rescheduled.
Brettles will be plodding the pavement this weekend when he competes in the Great South Run. He's running in order to raise money for the Meningitis Research Foundation, if you would like to make a donation to this very worthy cause, you can do so online here. It'll be on TV so be sure to keep an look out for a breathless bloke dressed in purple (cue Gogol Bordello).
And that's about it for this week, ay caramba!
