Drummer Watch

We got a shiny new drummer in our band today. Alas, the last one didn't spontaineously combust, which would have made the change over more rock and roll.

We are now taking bets for the duration of keeping, and methods of losing drummer No.2.

Sweet Talked

I got conned out of 3 quid today.

The thing is, the guy was so nice, he deserved the money for style.

Some hints for you to try: he started with a little small talk, said how I reminded him of a nice christian lad, and even had a prop! It's why begging is so last year.

I love The Incredibles

Doctor Who Special

In celebration of the return of the most excellent Doctor Who, I've gathered togeather a small, but perfectly formed collection of links to celebrate.

Firstly, there's the classic love story of Davros and Stephen Hawking.

Continuing the love theme, here's a wonderful story entitled The Ring of Truth

Fashion wise, how could anyone leave a tardis without first finding good clothes to wear? The Doctor Who Scarf is the place to look.

It's just not the same in Lego...

ODintoworkavoidence.

Data entry can be the most boring thing to do. Ever. Fear not though, for ODintomadness have brought you ways to ease the pain, it's kind of like euthanasia, except less permanent.

Ric's top 5 tips:

1. Only type with the keys in rhythm to whatever song is in your head at the time.

2. If you aren't sure of a name, make sure you choose the worst possible variation you can think of.

3. Add extra entries in for comedy value. No-one will notice.

4. Try and choose the order of the entries so you can make a subliminal message out of the first letter of each one.

5. Play the "guess who will die before their entry is of any use" game. This doesn't work for life insurance.

In other news, the NME are still being cunts. Since when were The La's influential? They managed one wonderful, wonderful(but now annoying) single, and one half decent album, but now they're having to go to Japan to get a festival slot, for fucks sake.

A special message to "comedians" who suck

A bullet didn't kill John Lennon, it was that joke.

(Stolen from Diesel Sweeties)

Oooooh

Look at the lineup on that.

Leeds now, with just those bands listed there, has a more promising lineup than last year already. Rock on.

Modern Art

As you can see, Joe making a sandwich next to spilt wine can convey a compelling message about the constant struggle that is life.

Don't worry, this picture will be sold for a few thousand pounds soon.

ODintoDundee

If you see anything on the news about rioting in Dundee, it has nothing to do with us. The Apple still hasn't made a return, so there probably won't be another post on here till sunday. Don't miss us too much.

9 Songs

For many this is one of the most honest potrayals of love that has been committed to film

For others it's just sex and music

Decide for yourself

--------------

Elbow....SFA...sex... all rolled up into a film, doesn't that sound lovely?

Warning

Never hand a stoner a digital camera. They will spend the next 30 minutes moving the zoom lens in and out.

Cocktail advice

Want to make a cocktail, but aren't sure how? Follow these simple steps:

-Find a soft drink
-Pour half of it away
-Fill the now empty half back up with vodka

Voila.

ODintoMarketing

Someone owns a beauty/makeover shop called "Revive" opposite a retirement home. I love them.

The Pineapple - A Truely American Fruit

Social History of the Pineapple

Originally unique to the Western Hemisphere, the fruit was a culinary favorite of the fierce Carib Indians, until we killed them off.

If you have time, there's also a site that looks back over 150 years of wedding dresses. It's very rock and roll. I imagine Pete, while not rocking out on some kind of Herion fuelled adventure, kicks back by just chilling out in his wedding dress while eating a pineapple.

Remember me...

...I'm your best friend we used to hang around...
and so the Zutons say, but I'm back for a short time.
Some updates:
I have work to do
I have applied for a job
Are people still coming up at weekend?
I have work to do, lots
I finish all exams by 5th May, ha
My Mac is still away, feeling upset without me
Empire SQ rules
Graham Coxon still sucks...ass...lots thereof

Remember me...

...I'm your best friend we used to hang around...
and so the Zutons say, but I'm back for a short time now I go.

Blog Spotlight: Anorexic Believer

Forever Ana: Diary of an Anorexic Believer

If anyone wants a case study about the media's influence on impressionable, young, rich, idiots, this is the place to find it.

The highlights are:

"Then yesterday at the reastaurant I managed to stick to just mixed greens salad and a few bites of bass [type of fish.] I know, I know... that's A LOT of food. But I really had no choice."

"DON'T DO DRUGS"

"REMEMBER YOUR GOALS. Never let the thoughts of those go away; Never let the image of you in that dress or bikini escape from your mind and sole."

"Everyone today wants to be a slim tall blond with blue eyes, or at least have a good looking kid."

So that's where Joe and I are going wrong... though I'm not sure where he is at the moment. Maybe he's been unable to cope with life without The Apple? Damn Apple! You make people so reliant on their computers that if they inadvertantly spill wine on it, they kill themselves! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!

Either that, or I'm just jealous. Wolfenstein 3-D would probably bring this laptop to halt.
