A Night of Indie blah blah

So the vastly superior Bangkok Erotic Revue was ditched in favour of Fake Guitars. Sam, bless him, was pissed when he was asked for the band name and Bangkok...hang on...Bangkok Sex Revenue...that's not it...hang on...fuck it. . . . → Read More: A Night of Indie blah blah

Thoughts on the closure of The Forum Music Centre

MrBlackett — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 20:18:29 +0000

Yesterday I got the news that The Forum Music Centre is to close at the end of August. From what I can gather, previously agreed council funding has been pulled which, in turn, has put the skids on a second grant from One North East. I don't know if the funding was pulled because of wider cutbacks from our beloved, barely-elected coalition government but it seems bit too much of a coincidence that a grant that was on the table suddenly isn't post-emergency budget. . . . → Read More: Thoughts on the closure of The Forum Music Centre

Help wanted!

So I'm in a band and we've been struggling to come up with a name. We have two ideas, one of them mine and the other Sam's. I'm trying to build up as much evidence to prove that mine is the best so thought a quick poll would make my case that much more watertight. . . . → Read More: Help wanted!

Matt from Cornwall gets to the crux of the issue

MrBlackett — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:59:47 +0000

Last night a car carrying Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter, Zenani, crashed while taking her home from a concert. Zenani was tragically killed and the driver arrested on drink-driving charges. As a result the already-frail Mandela decided not to attend the World Cup Open Ceremony.

So, what do the Daily Mail comment monkeys think of this?

Women’s charity raises triple Danny Dyer film

MrBlackett — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 17:24:46 +0000

A campaign to match the weekend takings for actor Danny Dyer’s new film has been overwhelmed with donations – reaching 366% of its target.

That might sound impressive but Dyer's new film made £205 and only 24 people saw it. Still...hahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa. . . . → Read More: Women’s charity raises triple Danny Dyer film
