Ho Ho Ho!
So the slow wind-down into Christmas begins; the tins of sweets on the centre desk have been multiplying, the rubber bands have been flying across the office for most of the morning and we've spent a good hour or so working out what topping to have on our pizzas on Friday lunchtime (I may even set up the Big Big Loader for a play as well).
Umm.
And worked really hard and not wasted your tax dollars, obviously.
*koff*
Quite.
Last week's NME was a double issue, tempting though it was to re-list the selection of gigs I picked out from it last week I decided not to. If you're in need of a gig fix over the Christmas period don't forget that all the gigs I pick out and send on are added (eventually) into the SoMC Events Calendar. It's packed to the rafters with an assortment of local gigs for local people, there should be something in there that tickles your fancy (think of it as a gig version of a tin of Quality Street and won't go far wrong, for every Noisette Triangle there's probably a couple of Toffee Pennies and Peanut Cracknels).
It just wouldn't be the same if I didn't have any gigs listed though, so I've picked the following morsels from the Events Calendar for your delectation:
One Weird Fish @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 23/12/2006
Skylar @ The Joiners, Southampton - 28/12/2006
Kojak's Revenge @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 29/12/2006
Wilko Johnson @ The Brook, Southampton - 06/01/2007
Bluesky Research @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 31/01/2007
Kristin Hersh @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 06/03/2007
Thea Gilmore @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 03/05/2007
Lou Rhodes @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 10/05/2007
As I may have mentioned once or twice over the past few weeks, I've concocted a Most Fantastic Lyric Quiz for your delight which you can download here (link valid for 7 days). Email recipients of the Gigwatcher (who recieve it several hours before I blog it here) are teased each week with a Mystery Lyric so they've had a bit more practice; it's not fiendishly difficult but it should get you scratching your noggins.
It's for fun but there are some rules (which are listed in the PDF) as there may be a prize for the highest scorer. I'll post a new thread on the forum where you can post your scores or ask for clues/help. You've got until January, I'll link to the answers in first Gigwatcher of the New Year. Enjoy.
Well that about does it for the Gigwatcher for this year, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and that Santa brings you some nice new choons to enjoy. This afternoon I shall mostly be the glorious tones of the late great Richard Burton. Of course, it's Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds. Excellent!

The Gigwatcher 13/12/2006
One two three O'Leary.
So here we are again, another Wednesday and, as per usual recently, the Gigwatcher is a wee bit late in hitting your inboxes. Usually I have a good excuse, something to do with servers or important boxes of lights that occasionally go phut. This week's reason? I finally realised that Christmas is just around the corner.
Yes, I know, you'd have think I'd have twigged from the houses on my street that are festooned with gaudy lights. Or maybe the Santa-less grotto substitute in Fareham Shopping Centre would've given it away. Or that it was December even.
No. It's lamer than that.
The festive edition of the Radio Times arrived in the shop at work and, as expected, I spent too long perusing it to get the Gigwatcher out on time. This could be termed as slacking I know, but it's got that lovely 'new magazine smell'. And how else would I know when to set the video for Herbie Rides Again or The Last Starfighter.
Just count yourselves lucky I didn't break out the highlighter pen to plan my viewing.
*koff*
Umm. It's not just me who does that is it?
Right. Well. Moving swiftly on, this week's NME was the festive double-sized issue (featuring Girls Aloud), so here is a bigger than usual selection of new gigs as found in the back pages:
Robyn Hitchcock & The Venus 3 @ Komedia, Brighton - 05/01/2007
Isobel Campbell with Mark Lanegan @ Komedia, Brighton - 24/01/2007
Hundred Reasons @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 30/01/2007

Howling Bells @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 24/02/2007
The Black Keys @ The Old Fire Station, Bournemouth - 25/02/2007

The Young Knives @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 06/04/2007
Midlake @ Concorde 2, Brighton - 12/04/2007
INXS @ The Dome, Brighton - 17/06/2007
I add all the gigs I list into the SoMC Events Calendar (well, just as soon as I put my mind to it I do), which is chock-a-block with local gigs (some more local than others admittedly) for the delectation of you good people. In order to peruse its delights you have to be registered on the SoMC forum, but once signed up you also have the run of the forum boards to post, well, whatever takes your fancy I suppose. If not, then I've plucked the following from the Events Calendar to whet your appetite:
Dead!Dead!Dead! @ The Joiners, Southampton - 16/12/2006
Perfect Alibi @ The Brook, Southampton - 16/12/2006
The Velvet Doonicans @ Talking Heads, Southampton - 31/12/2006
Tom Lillywhite @ The Joiners, Southampton - 15/01/2007
La Chicana @ The Ashcroft Arts Centre, Fareham - 24/02/2007
Courtney Pine @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 24/02/2007
Kate Rusby @ Ferneham Hall, Fareham - 07/04/2007 (part of the Gosport & Fareham Easter Festival)
After seven years, during which time they've shared their love of ska with thousands of sweaty punters (no, not like that), 2-Tonic have decided to call it a day. They'll be performing their last EVER gig at The Brook on Friday 29th December. It's likely to be a sell out, so you'd best mosey on over to The Brook website PDQ if you want to bid them farewell.
For us muso types the best thing about Christmas was always John Peel's Festive Fifty. Sadly Peely is no longer with us, but his legacy lives on; online station Dandelion Radio has taken on the task of producing the show. More information and a link to the voting page can be found here.
There's still plenty of time to take part in the 2nd Annual Son of Music Club poll-type-thing. Why not cast a slightly pink eye over the past year and dump your musical high (and low) lights onto the forum:
And that about does it for this week's Gigwatcher; this afternoon I shall mostly be listening to A Triumph For Man by the most excellent Mew. Lovely.

The Gigwatcher 06/12/2006
And relax.
Following the great unpleasantness of last week (I'll spare you the gory details) normal Wednesday service is resumed. Yay! It was the pills what did the trick, isn't science just the most useful thing? I tell you it's just a matter of time before we're all bouncing down the streets in anti-gravity boots, making sure to look up as well as left and right when crossing the road to avoid the hovercars.
*koff*
Or perhaps not.
Moving swiftly on, so here are the pick of the new gigs I found listed in the back pages of t'NME:
Fortune Drive @ Sumo, Brighton - 13/02/2007
Forward, Russia! @ Southampton University - 02/03/2007
The Rapture @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 08/03/2007
The Deftones @ The Guildhall, Portsmouth - 19/03/2007
I know, slim pickings this week, don't forget though that ALL the gigs I list are added into the SoMC Events Calendar at some point. The calendar is just full to the brim with gigs in this locale (and thereabouts). In order to pick through its delights you'll need to be registered on the SoMC forum. Once signed in you can post up reviews, jokes, web-links et al on the forum boards. To whet your appetite here are some gigs from the Events Calendar that I've picked for your perusal:
Keith James & Rick Foot play Nick Drake @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - TONIGHT
Mike Sanchez @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 11/12/2006
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel @ The Brook, Southampton - 15/12/2006
St Agnes Fountain @ Ashcroft Arts Centre, Fareham - 15/12/2006
Jon Amor @ The Joiners, Southampton - 17/12/2006
Helsinki @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 19/12/2006
Rocco Deluca @ The Joiners, Soutampton - 21/12/2006
The Bog Rolling Stones @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 31/12/2006
Wolfmother @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 04/02/2007 RAWK!!
If anyone was tempted to turn up on the door at The Brook tomorrow night for The SAS Band (featuring Spike Edney) gig then you'd best make other arrangements; it's SOLD OUT. No, I couldn't believe it either.
With the end of the year in sight (well, it's a dim light at the end of a medium-sized tunnel) thoughts usually turn to presents, booze and some time off. Alternatively you could cast your mind back over the past year at the musical highs and lows, then take part in the 2nd Annual Son of Music Club poll-type-thing.
Or you could instead go to the YouTube thread on the forum and check out the Cat Head Theatre clip I posted a link to. They're doing Hamlet, and it scares me in a way I don't want to talk about.
And that about does it for this week's Gigwatcher.. this afternoon I shall mostly be listening to Stu's latest compilation CD, Transcendental Cheese Meditation. Nice.

The Gigwatcher 01/12/2006
Urgh.
Apologies for the excessive tardiness this week but I've been a tad unwell. I don't mean 'unwell' in a Jeffrey Bernard sense, I've not been languishing in a bar drinking heavily and doing bad O'Toole impressions (though that's something I can try tomorrow).
I've had one of the many many strains of lurgee that are doing the rounds, and very unpleasant it was too (I'll spare you the gory details). Thus I got to spend a few days at home, moaning pathetically as us blokes are wont to do when we're not feeling that great, watching old films* on TV and getting cajoled into online gaming by the chaps at work (even on my sick bed I can't escape it).
But now I'm feeling much better so, for some foolish reason, I decided to come back to work. On a Friday. Ah. Weddun.
*koff*
Luckily the nice lady in the shop had held onto my NME, so here are the pick of the new gigs I found listed in the back pages:
The Mescalitas @ Lennons, Southampton - 02/12/2006
Jackie-O Mofo @ Pressure Point, Brighton - 11/12/2006
The Enemy @ The Joiners, Southampton - 02/02/2007
+44 @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 09/02/2007
ShockWaves NME Awards 'Indie Rock' Tour 2007 (featuring The Horrors, The Automatic) @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 16/02/2007
Amy Winehouse @ The Guildhall, Southampton - 18/02/2007
ShockWaves NME Awards 'Indie Rave' Tour 2007 (featuring Klaxons, CSS) @ The Pyramids, Portsmouth - 20/02/2007
The Rifles @ The University, Southampton - 07/03/2007
Don't forget that ALL the gigs I list each week are added into the SoMC Events Calendar, it's literally packed to the gunnells with local gigs for local people (i.e. you guys). However, in order to peruse its contents you'll need to be registered on the SoMC forum. Once you've signed up you can post up reviews, jokes, web-links et al on the forum boards. If you're still undecided, here's some gigs from the Events Calendar that I've picked for your perusal:
Red Honey & The Pimps @ The Nell Gwynne, Portsmouth - 02/12/2006 (featuring the legendary John 'Two Chillies' Nixon)
Easy Star All-Stars @ The Brook, Southampton - 04/12/2006
UK Subs @ The Joiners, Southampton - 07/12/2006
The White Knuckle Blues Band @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 09/12/2006
Tony McPhee @ The Joiners, Southampton - 10/12/2006
Fi Lo Beddow (aka Mark Morriss of The Bluetones) @ The Joiners, Southampton - 18/12/2006
Seth Lakeman @ The Brook, Southampton - 19/12/2006
The Bog Rolling Stones (acoustic) @ Little Johnny Russells, Portsmouth - 20/12/2006
A Tribute To Joe Strummer (featuring The Neville Staples Band and Amsterdam) @ The Wedgewood Rooms, Portsmouth - 21/12/2006
Wilko Johnson @ The Cellars at Eastney, Portsmouth - 30/01/2007
Both of the 'local' gigs by Faithless, 24th March at the BIC and 27th March at the Brighton Centre, are now SOLD OUT. I can't gets no tickets.. doo doo doo doo de de doo doo doo doo de de.. quite.
As you should all be aware, today is World Aids Day. In an effort to promote AIDS awareness (and have a laugh at the same time) local beat combo Hudson10 are joining forces with the one and only Adi Henry to become Adi & The Gaze. They're playing a FREE gig at the Old Vic in Portsmouth TONIGHT. It's likely to get a bit raucous, if the blurb here is anything to go by.
I can't wrap up this week's edition without a mention of the passing of Alan 'Fluff' Freeman, DJ and legend. RIP Fluff. Not 'arf. Well, that's about it for this week pop pickers.. this afternoon I have mostly been listening to Amy Winehouse. She scares me. A lot.
;o)
* The classic "I Was A Male War Bride" was on Sky Cinema, cheered me up no end.
