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.
