Todays NEWS!


HEADLINE NEWS:

I’m coming “home”.

More about that later in the bulletin.

--------------------------
Further to our discussion earlier on the subject of THE MAN.
Tex Perkins knows where I’m coming from.
He admits that he is “just a man”. Note he claims to be A man, and not THE man.
I hear you, brother!
--------------------------
The 7th UK Big Brother is an absolute travesty and a disgrace. It’s a totally irresponsible bit of tele.
There’s a guy with Tourette’s, a gay Glaswegian Indian who’s mentally unstable and was pulled out of the house for saying he was going to kill himself, an ex-porn actress, a misogynist bigoted A-Hole and plenty of other waste of spaces. Get these FUCKERS of the air!
I’m sort of enjoying reading this blog commenting on the show:

And did you know that Bez, from the Happy Mondays won celeb BB awhile back?

Can’t believe we have to pay a television license in this country.
--------------------------

Speaking of television, Deadwood season 2 is plodding along nicely and is building up a strong momentum- much to the chagrin of my house mates who object to the excessive use of “fuck”, “cocksuckers” and “hoopleheads”.

The London Girl and I now refer to the show as “Cocksuckers”. As in when we’re coming home on a crowded tube one of us might suggest “You wanna watch an episode of Cocksuckers tonight?”
The London Girl is down with the program! She even insists we drink whiskey- straight up- while we watch!

(that whole last bit could be read really wrongly)

--------------------------
Saw The Da Vinci Code.
It was DULL!

Although ever since I found Jesus and was the recipient of a MIRACLE in the cathedral back in Florence (now THERE’S a story I haven’t told YOU yet!!), I’ve enjoyed discussing the topic of Jesus and the theories/conspiracies.

I haven’t read the book, but dollars to donuts Garth Ennis did it better in PREACHER!
--------------------------

Saw the trailer for the new Pirates of the Caribbean and it looked FANTASTIC! Have you seen it? Davey Jones squid face looks amazing! Can’t wait! I’d better not be disappointed PEOPLE!!

Also saw the Supes trailer and I’m afraid to say- it looked a bit rad.

--------------------------
Bought some cd’s as well.

On a semi-drunken impulse buy I bought A Proper Introduction to Robert Johnson: Cross Road Blues
And Oscar Peterson Plays The Harold Arlen Song Book .

Last night in a non-drunken and thoughtfully planned out state of mind I purchased Mike Pattons newest master piece “PEEPING TOM”. It’s got Dan The Automators magic touch along with Kid Koala, Massive Attack, Noah Jones and heaps of other cool dudes!

The other purchase was The Raconteurs. ROCK!


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

And back to our Main Headline Story, The DIGGSVILLE WORLD TOUR has added some Australian dates.

Going to be leaving London on the 31st of October and hitting Melbourne on the 1st Nov.

After that, the details have yet to be finalized. It’ll no doubt be an East Coast tour with appearances in Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney.
Truth be told I’ll be yo-yo-ing between the 3 cities right through the summer as I don’t really have a home city to come back to.
More details TBA.

--------------------------
To quote a great man “….and what else?”

That’s about it.

And what about you?

Of courrse you have a home, Hobart.
Let's face it until you move to Melbourne, Hobart IS your home!
Cannot wait to see you.
This will be the summer of fun! Hope you'll spend some time in Tas.

Probally only be in Hobart for 2 weeks.
Hobart WAS my home- but for only 5 years. It ain't anymore. No job, no family and no house = no home!
