Well, The gig hasn’t been finished long and I must say that even though Richard was battling a cold it was excellent. He actually played some obscure (to me anyway) classic oldies, and they were beautifully performed despite his germs. Alas, there was no time for a Q & A ( it was evident that he felt like shit bless him) but it was a fabulous performance nontheless. I recommend you go to his house on Mute Island and have an explore- it’s a fantastic build with lots of inter-active elements and you can get some freebies too:)
My outfit for the Richard Hawley gig

What do you think? I’m going for a suitably retro feel here, and I’m really excited. I love live music, and I loved Richard’s last album. Been watching some of his videos on ‘Youtube’ today and I love the way they are filmed…they seem so ‘familiar’ in their style. Perhaps that is because Sheffield is so close to where I live?

We have music! YAY!
Eee, this technology thing, good innit? As you can probably hear by now I’ve uploaded the ‘Sonific’ widget to the website. ( I wanted to use the ‘Last FM’ one instead but I can’t get it to work) Sonific is very good but you are limited to trolling through lots of unknown tripe to get to the unknown good-stuff. However, there IS some good stuff on there- this song by ‘Spray’ for instance called ‘Child of the 80’s’, which I love. Reminds me of PSB’s/Dubstar. The playlist moves on to play choons from Mark Ronson and the Manic Street Preachers if you’re on the site long enough. Oh and there’s a volume button as well so you can turn it down if it gets on your nerves..
Weee! I won a prize!!!
Yay! Just found out I’ve won l$250 for my entry into the Halloween costume contest on Linden Lifestyles! I am uber chuffed, as you can imagine:) It’s nice to be recognised, because I spend a lot of time taking pictures and uploading them to Flickr. I don’t have photoshop either, and I was frustrated by that initially, but you can get good results without it:) Oh happy days- can’t wait to tell Jez!
Anyway, you can see my winning entry here
