All punked up on Jupiter Oil.
That Keith Richards, he's a one. Despite a heavy schedule of snorting ashes, falling out of trees, being Johnny Depp's dad and eating cigarettes he still finds time to pick a fight with Sweden for giving him a bad review.
I wouldn't like to be in his shoes when Joey Tempest finds out; it'll be rock carnage, mark my words.

If you wanted to see Paul Smith sporting porn-star shades and a bowler hat then you've missed your chance, Maximo Park's gig at The Guildhall in Portsmouth on Monday 8th October has sold out. The Pigeon Detectives appearance at The Pyramids on Friday 16th November is also now sold out, though tickets for The Smyths gig at The Wedgewood Rooms the same evening are still available.
To celebrate the salvation of The Brook its new owners are hosting an evening of celebration this Friday, 31st August, with a bill made-up of acts who feature regularly at The Platform Tavern (one of The Brook's saviours). Included on the bill are Bob Pearce, DVB and Blues ETC. Tickets are £7.50 and can be purchased online via WeGotTickets.
The first semi-final of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase '07 event takes place tomorrow night, Thursday 30th August. As winners of their respective heats The 47's, Wyldside, First Night Nerves and Hexagram will be taking part, all aiming to win through to the final. The date of the second semi-final, comprising the winners of heats five through eight, is yet to be confirmed.
And that's me done for another week. This afternoon I have mostly been listening to Tom McRae, Guns'n'Roses and Golden Section. Join me next week when I'll be following the advice of my Magic 8-ball.

Sufferin' succotash!
Hard to believe but true, the Compact Disc is 25 years old this week.
Is it really a quarter of a century since a fresh-faced Kieran Prendiville spread strawberry jam on a new CD to demonstrate its near-indestructibility? It surely is. Tomorrow's World may not have lasted the distance but there are piles of CDs all over my house and my copy of Brothers In Arms won't die no matter what I smear on it.

Natasha Bedingfield's gig at The Guildhall in Southampton on Tuesday 25th September has been rescheduled to Wednesday 20th February 2008. Original tickets remain valid, punters requiring refunds should contact their point of purchase.
The sleepy hamlet of Arundel will be entertaining a variety of musical acts this weekend as the 30th Arundel Festival begins. Operatic soprano Natasha Marsh opens the proceedings on Friday 24th August, with eighties pop diva Alison Moyet headlining the following evening. The eighties theme continues on Sunday 26th August when the bass-slapping sounds of Level 42 will reverberate around the castle, and Girls Aloud take the stage on Bank Holiday Monday to wrap up the opening weekend. Full details are on the Events Calendar.
The seventh annual Southsea Folk and Roots Festival takes place this weekend with a variety of events being held across the borough. The majority of the gigs again take place in The Albert Tavern on South Parade Pier, with free concerts held in the afternoon and ticketed affairs in the evening (headliners for the evening gigs this year include Jackie Leven, Steve Gibbons, ColvinQuarmby and Memo Gonzalez). In addition to the gigs at the pier a variety of 'fringe' events are scheduled to take place, with The Florence Arms and The RMA Tavern both reprising their roles from last year. Full details are on the Events Calendar.
The next heat of Showcase '07 competition takes place at The Wedgewood Rooms tonight. The line-up for Heat Seven includes Days Of No Trust, Introduce Your Icon, Elide and Jenna's Revenge. The last heat of the first round is scheduled for next Tuesday, 28th August; Heat Eight features We're Still Waiting, Eat The Document, Blackfox and Godsend. Tickets for the Showcase events are a bargain £5.
The Grand Final of The Talking Heads' Battle Of The Bands competition takes place this Friday, 24th August. Breaker! Breaker!, Entirety, The Maddisons, Head To Head and The Fret all won through their heats to make it this far, all of them are in with the chance of winning the cash prize (if I'd known there was a cash prize I'd have thrown a band together!). Entrance is £5 on the door.
Those with Facebook may be interested to know that a new group has appeared on the burgeoning social networking site. Portsmouth Live Gigs promises to include details of up and coming events occurring in and around Portsea Island (and nicely complements the Wedgewood Rooms Appreciation group). If that doesn't float your boat then try Arsebook instead.
And that's me done for another week. This afternoon I have mostly been listening to the new releases from Richard Hawley and Editors, both of which are really rather good (and not at all disappointing, unlike Kate Nash's debut long player). Join me next week when I'll be fiddling about with the nobs on the cooker.

Step away from the Naga.
The past week has seen the passing of two musical mavericks; Tony Wilson and Lee Hazlewood. The former gave us Factory Records, Joy Division and paved the way for superclubs in the UK. The latter helped reinvent Nancy Sinatra as a pop icon and released one of my favourite albums ever.
[pause for quiet reflection]
And today is the 30th anniversary of when Elvis Presley went to the big farm in the sky.

Mmm, hazlenuts.
If, like me, you weren't lucky enough to get tickets for the Foo Fighters' double secret festival warm-up gig in Brighton this Friday then fear not; you can enjoy Dave Grohl and chums from the comfort of your own home thanks to the nice people at Radio 1. The gig will be broadcast live from the Concorde2 from 1800. And yes, I know it's not quite the same as being there, but you could always invite some mates round and have a mini-mosh pit in your front room.
The Talking Heads' Battle Of The Bands competition continues apace, with the third heat taking place this evening. Tonight's penultimate round features The Rivers of Sound, The Maddisons, Long Shore Drift and The Ramblings. The fourth and final heat is tomorrow, Thursday 16th August, with Head To Head, Kids Can't Fly, Lights Alive, The Next Tuesdays and The Fret all trying to make it through to next week's semi-finals. Entrance is £5 on the door.
The sixth heat of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase '07 competition is scheduled for next Tuesday, 21st August, and the line-up includes The Elijah Project, The Accidents, Midnight Dance Party and City Safari. Entrance is a bargain £5, for which you get both entertainment and the opportunity to perfect your Simon Cowell impression alongside the real judges.
Put a fork in me, I'm done. This afternoon I have mostly been tinkering with Windows XP whilst listening to The Strange Death of Liberal England and Moi Caprice. Join me next week when I'll be impersonating a large cheese.

Mmm, hazlenuts.
If, like me, you weren't lucky enough to get tickets for the Foo Fighters' double secret festival warm-up gig in Brighton this Friday then fear not; you can enjoy Dave Grohl and chums from the comfort of your own home thanks to the nice people at Radio 1. The gig will be broadcast live from the Concorde2 from 1800. And yes, I know it's not quite the same as being there, but you could always invite some mates round and have a mini-mosh pit in your front room.
The Talking Heads' Battle Of The Bands competition continues apace, with the third heat taking place this evening. Tonight's penultimate round features The Rivers of Sound, The Maddisons, Long Shore Drift and The Ramblings. The fourth and final heat is tomorrow, Thursday 16th August, with Head To Head, Kids Can't Fly, Lights Alive, The Next Tuesdays and The Fret all trying to make it through to next week's semi-finals. Entrance is £5 on the door.
The sixth heat of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase '07 competition is scheduled for next Tuesday, 21st August, and the line-up includes The Elijah Project, The Accidents, Midnight Dance Party and City Safari. Entrance is a bargain £5, for which you get both entertainment and the opportunity to perfect your Simon Cowell impression alongside the real judges.
Put a fork in me, I'm done. This afternoon I have mostly been tinkering with Windows XP whilst listening to The Strange Death of Liberal England and Moi Caprice. Join me next week when I'll be impersonating a large cheese.

They peel them with their little knives.
It was bound to happen sooner or later. Some sad sack techno geek has created a virus which, once activated, targets your MP3s and deletes them from your PC. Honestly, haven't these techie nerds got anything better to do than try to ruin my day?

A limited number of tickets have been made available for the rescheduled Cherry Ghost gig at The Wedgewood Rooms on Monday 20th August, contact the venue's box office to snap them up. Last month's Hayseed Dixie gig at The Brook, which was unfortunately postponed, has been rescheduled for Friday 21st September. Tickets are available from WeGotTickets.
The Wedgewood Rooms is currently closed for a bit of a wash and brush-up. The venerable venue will re-open on Tuesday 14th August with Heat Five of the Showcase '07 competition (featuring The Cool Banana, Swampglow, Joe Black and Ecoli). The Box Office and The Edge of The Wedge remain open as usual.
Details of the NME Freshers Tour 2007 have been announced; the line-up for the eleven date tour, which pitches up at The Old Fire Station in Bournemouth on Sunday 7th October, includes The Satin Peaches, Operator Please and The Go! Team. Tickets are available from Seetickets.
Following their addition to the bill for Editors' October jaunt across Blighty, Danish indie rockers The Kissaway Trail have had to postpone their imminent headlining UK tour. Both bands will now be at The Guildhall in Portsmouth on Tuesday 2nd October. And it's sold out.
Southampton's Talking Heads kicks off its Battle Of The Bands competition this week. The first heat is tonight, with The Casual Nelsons, Rupture Farms, Breaker! Breaker! and The Six Barrels all gunning for the chance to win the big prize. Heat Two is tomorrow night and features The KingSkins, Disaster By Design, Entirety and The Radics. Entrance is £5 on the door (£4 in advance).
And that's me done for another week; this afternoon I have mostly been chooglin' along to Kings of Leon and tapping my feet to The Kissaway Trail. Join me next week when I'll be pickling onions the hard way.

Lethal Bizzle's gig at The Joiners on Thursday 16th August has been cancelled, punters are advised to contact their point of purchase for ticket refunds. Monday night's Cherry Ghost gig at The Wedgewood Rooms was cancelled due to illness, the gig has been rescheduled to Monday 20th August. Those lucky enough to have tickets for this SOLD OUT gig but who can't make the new date should contact the venue by Monday 13th August for refunds (those without tickets are advised to contact the Box Office for returns).
The cream of Portsmouth's music scene don their shorts and boots this Saturday, 4th August, for the inaugural Rocker Soccer 5-a-side Tournament. Amongst the bands taking part are Blue Sky Research, The Ridgeway, The Stations, The Deads and Emptifish, all of whom will be joining the crew from Little Johnny Russell's, the organisers of the event. The tournament, which will raise money for Cancer Research UK, will be held at Roko in Hilsea, and the fun kicks off at midday.
Belle and Sebastian's Richard Colburn will be showing off his DJing skills at Little Johnny Russell's in Portsmouth tomorrow, Thursday 3rd August. Entrance is £3 and, along with the demonstration of indie turntable technique, there'll also be live music from Dirty 38's and The Stations to keep you entertained.
The Wickham Festival returns for its second year this weekend, bringing four days of music and entertainment to the village. This year the festival has moved to a dedicated green field site, with a 3000 capacity big-top tent hosting the entertainment (and keeping the punters dry should it rain). Legendary 70's folk-rockers Jethro Tull get things going tomorrow night, Thursday 2nd August, then The Hamsters and Maggie Bell bring the Blues to Wickham on Friday evening. Eddi Reader, Kathryn Tickell and Luka Bloom are on Saturday's bill, which is headlined by Runrig's Donnie Munro. The festival wraps up on Sunday with performances from Dean Friedman, Hazel O'Connor, Eliza Carthy and The Men They Couldn't Hang (who should get the crowd going nicely before Galway's The Saw Doctors bring the festival to a close). Both day and weekend tickets are available from the festival website.
Heat Four of The Wedgewood Rooms' Showcase 07 competition takes place tomorrow, Thursday 2nd August, and will feature performances from Wyldsyde, Absent Jack, Hellcyon and Life With Max (each of which will be trying to persuade both the judges and the audience into giving them more votes than the rest). Tickets for the Showcase events are a bargain £5.
And that about wraps it up for another week; this afternoon I have mostly been listening to The Railway Children and feeling nostalgic. Join me next week when I'll be hunting down the Great Prophet Zarquon and giving him a good telling off.
