Anyone attending any of this year's popfest which starts tonight? 20 (mainly) brilliant bands over four days, including Saturday's all-dayer at the 100 Club. Can't wait! There's a free download featuring a song by each of the bands here - London Popfest - highly recommended to all who like...

That's fair enough, but you were probably booked by the pub for a few quid rather than being a group who existed purely to mimic a famous band. Those charlatans charge the punters to watch them. I remember seeing tickets for the Australian Doors on sale for over twenty quid a few years ago...

Das Reich?

But Interpol are an Editors tribute band, surely? ;o)

I hate tribute bands. They're creatively bankrupt parasites, leeching off the talent and success of others. People who pay good money to see one of the plethora of Abba / Pink Floyd / Mettalica acts peddle their wares are the most musically conservative dullards around. They deserve to have...

Who still wants promotion this season?

What a f***ing beauty!

To be fair, it was started by someone with the brains of a teaspoon.

Nothing. Tomorrow will be cold and bright, and after that it'll be too mild for any snow at least until Wednesday. Sad but true. There is the possibility of some snow from the middle of next week apparently, but probably much further north.

Starting to settle on the grass, but not on the road and pavement. I think we need to drop a degree or two.

Just started snowing in SE London. Small flakes but very steady.

Rhod Gilbert can be funny, but he really overplays the whole 'shouting in confused exasperation' schtick. Jimmy Carr can be funny too, but he's an obnoxious twat with a face like runny cheese.

Stewart Lee - a true comedy original. Gets my vote.

I saw Bill Hicks' first ever UK show at the East Wing; still the finest stand-up performance I've ever seen. He did all of his material as he wanted to try it out on a UK audience for the first time and gauge the reaction. 3 and three quarter hours with just a 10 minute break in the middle, and...

It’s very strange, but after all the build-up last week, with the TV weather experts promising up to 15cms, and the subsequent actual 5 or so cms which quickly thawed, there seems to be widespread ‘snow ennui’. Even the BBC’s prediction of up to 20 cm of new snow in the Midlands in the next few...

The Long Tall Texans. Used to go to school with Theo, the drummer who's a big Albion fan. He also came and drummed at a few of my old hardcore band's practices. Mark, the double-bassist worked as a security guard at Virgin when I was there (1985 - 1992), and the guitarist was a teacher I believe.

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. We urgently need to start scoring more goals, and with a full strength squad and our new additions, there's no reason why we shouldn't.

Crunchie isn't even a chocolate bar really as it's really the merest veneer of choc over a block of super-sweet, honeycombed sugar. Snickers FTW!
