Beebie jeebies.

We're being filmed by BBC World today as part of their Olympic coverage; they're going to be asking us about the work we've been doing towards the ICCI 360 event in Weymouth. We're also being visited by the good people of Brighton Noise who are going to be covering the BBC's coverage.

That's all fine - Jeb can answer any questions about the videos and music or band or whatever. I trust him.

What I need to know is: which conditioner is going to give my hair the right shine to compliment my crushed velvet armbands?

As if I didn't have enough to think about!

NB. I don't mind saying that I actually find this whole television interview thing quite nerve wracking and that sometimes, when nervous, I make silly jokes. There's one above (you remember, the one about Jeb being able to answer simple questions) that I'm not going to point out to you...but then there are two other hilarious gags right there, neatly hidden inside my exposition of another joke.

So, yes...if over the next few hours you see me making any silly jokes (above), it's just nerves, so you would be well advised to ignore absolutely everything I have to say on any subject.

Oh lord.

The television are coming.

Hello-lands.

Well, well, unwell. We returned from Meadowlands four days ago...not that it feels that way for me. I've only just been able to crawl out of my quilt after a nasty bout of I-dunno-wot-itis. The time? It was good.

Tim Key's performance in the spoken word tent was a particular highlight for me. Portico Quartet, of whom I have been a fan since catching them on some long forgotten late-night jazz-o-lantern TV trauma many years ago, were also a keen contender for my 'Where did I put my mind?' award.

It's difficult to describe how good so many of the acts were, so I won't. Except the guy who put the firework up his bum. He's worth a mention. Yeah. Alas: no photo.

We believe our set went well! The crew were great- it's been a while since we had such a relaxed gig. We did a little interview for latest.co.uk, spent some quality time with The Management and co., and saw fellow Brightonians Nordic Giants put on an awesome performance (perhaps the best I've seen them) despite intense sleep deprivation after their single launch only a couple of days before.

All in all: good festival, good time.

Pleasantness abounds.

Except for Jeb. The 360 visuals are due and he spent last weekend slacking off in some field or other.

Me Again!

I've been waiting for somebody else in the band to post a blog but obviously when you have :

*Trewin, too busy mixing our new EP, "Bloodworks" and occasional bike ride, 

*Tim, too busy looking up porn, drinking whisky while telling "believers" that god doesn't actually exist, 

*Ed San playing "Uncharted" and getting harassed by his young music students,

*Jeb trying to figure out how to use 360 visuals with 6.1 surround sound for our show at the Olympics in August,

considering all of those factors I guess I'm the only one who has enough spear time to post something on here.

Anyway I will be no longer doing "my favourite food" section as I received a sense mood that no one actually gives a s_ _ t about what I'd like to eat so I'm only going to post "my favourite song" from now on.

Toe - Mukougishi Ga Shiru Yume

Toe is a Japanese music group. While mentioned in many post-rock circles, their song structure and dynamics are similar to many popular math rock artists.

Toe is composed of Kashikura Takashi on drums, Mino Takaaki on guitar, Yamane Satoshi on bass guitar, and Yamazaki Hirokazu on guitar. Toe has formally played with this line-up since the band’s inception in 2000. They are currently one of three bands on the indie label Machu Picchu,along with the bands mouse on the keys and Enemies. This is a label formed by the members of Toe.

If you don't know them already I highly recommend you to give them a listen!
