Not content with being the first act since Wet Wet Wet to score more than nine weeks at the number one spot, Rihanna is cashing in on the wet weather by releasing her own line of designer umbrellas.

If I'm not playing catch-up on all the TV I've recorded, but have been to busy watch (there's three episodes of Dexter at least), I'll update the SoMC Events Calendar just as soon as I can.

Southampton band Timshel will be at The Wedgewood Rooms on Saturday 28th July to celebrate the release of their new albums (plural, they're releasing two). Also on the bill are Skyline Heroes, Ninja Biscuits and the mighty Brannigan's Law (featuring the SoMC's own Axe-Meister General, Ant Shue). Tickets are available now, a bargain at £5.00.
Today's NME includes details of this year's Rock'n'Roll Riot Tour, which pitches up at Southampton Guildhall on Monday 15th October. The line-up this year includes Lethal Bizzle, The Wombats and, Paul Potts' best mates, The Enemy. Tickets are available now, via the NME, from Seetickets.
The next heat of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase 07 competition takes place this evening. Heat Two features Hexagram, Kick!, Lunar Cry and Sinuism, who will each be attempting to sway both the judges and the audience into giving them more votes than their rivals. Heat Three, which is made up of Psyracuse Pyramid, The Model Village, The MBT and First Night Nerves, takes place on Tuesday 31st July. Tickets for the Showcase events are a bargain £5.00.
Indie night Club 12th Hour pitches up in The Raglan Rooms at The Alma Arms this Friday, 27th July, for another evening of fun and frolics. On the bill this time are The Waysters, The Cartel and Multicoloured Green. Entrance costs a mere £5, doors from 2000 till late.
And finally, as I may have mentioned once or twice previously, I can think of no better way of wrapping up a Saturday night in Portsmouth than staggering into Scandal's; it's my favourite hole in the ground and I've been going there for longer than I care to remember. Some emails last week got me thinking about classic Scandal's floorfillers, with a view to knocking up a Best of Scandal's CD, so I started a thread on the forum to canvas ideas. If you can think of any more, do that 'post a response' thing.
And that's it for another week; this afternoon I have mostly been listening to Kate Bush and David Devant & His Spirit Wife (who should've been huge, but there you go). Join me next week when I'll be leaping tall buildings with a single bound.
:o)
