( Questions and answers )

I just bought a coffee at work where we pay for everything with magick electric money stored on our ID cards. The balance now remaining on my card is SIX POUNDS AND SIXTY-SIX PEE.

Remember the elephant and how brilliant that was? Artichoke's new thing in LiverpoolcositistheCapitalofCulture looks similarly striking but doesn't half give me the creeps. I hope there's a gigantic glass-and-bit-of-cardboard involved somewhere.

I'll be playing some records at top weekly hangout THE HANGOVER LOUNGE this Sunday afternoon. Why not pop along and enjoy a liquid Sunday lunch in the company of some excellent music played at volumes that won't hurt yr aching head. Also, the cocktails are 2 for 1.

The Salmon & Compass
58 Penton St (corner of Chapel Market nr Angel Tube)
Sunday 1-7pm

A soft comedown club for hard drinkers, The Hangover Lounge is the place to eat Sunday lunch, drink hair of the dog, meet like-minded souls, read the papers and make idle chit chat all to some soothing sounds. That might mean country rock or deep soul or psychedelia or soft pop or lovers rock, or anything else which sounds great and will make your head feel so much the better.

POPTIMISM!! Saturday from 8 at the Cross Kings.

I'll be putting in an appearance on the decks and attempting to keep the floor jumping for 4 entire songs as part of tomorrow's EPIC DJ FITE. Come and vote with your dancing feet!

Why do you not rise today, usually reliable ball of dough?? :(
