i’ve got spaghetti on my window. That’s not a euphemism or anything, i really do have spaghetti on my window. My staple diet at the moment is about 60% spaghetti and i have to eat in on the windowsill as i’m concerned all the steam billowing from it will set off the fire alarm, and i was a bit too rigorous slurping it up this afternoon.
It is at this point that i should apologise for the lack of quality control in posts so far. Hopefully my better half will say something soon for you, although firstly she is very busy with university work (a concept that for my art student brain is becoming increasingly alien), and secondly you (the abstract construct we believe to be ‘the reader’) are probably doing something else and don’t even subsist as a mass.
Where was i? Oh yes.
This March (hey, that’s now!) Misty’s Big Adventure will be embarking on a tour which they’ve delightfully called A Month Of Tuesdays. Because, well, they all fall within a month of each other, and they all happen on a Tuesday. A bit like that old Linoleum song. Anyway. They look like so:
Tuesday 13th March – London Water Rats
Tuesday 20th March – London Water Rats
Tuesday 27th March – Birmingham Glee Club (with Poppy & The Jezebels)
Tuesday 3rd April – Manchester Jabez Clegg (with The Retro Spankees!)
How glorious are those going to be, especially with support bands like that? Very, hopefully.
The Retro Spankees! – Mr Brilliant
Although i’ve not see them play on the same bill before, MBA and the Spankees! go together beautifully. They shouldn’t really, seeing as some of the Retros are the spit of Grandmaster Gareth’s arch nemeses The Teats, but they’ve got a deft hand when it comes to skewed pop brilliance too so really it makes sense. As did the last support act i saw flank Misty’s:
KateGoes - Yoyo
i’d not seen or heard of KateGoes before their Misty’s support slot but the next day i eagerly proclaimed them to be the best band in the world ever ever. Well, i suppose maybe they did get me a bit over excited but they had lyrics concerning how terrible they were at playing Pogs, one song comprised entirely of the word ‘flob’ and the bassist decided to start fishing in the middle of the gig. The place wasn’t particularly full at that point but i was stood near the middle of the venue and the guy in front of me, who had both been exchanging grins of bemusement and delight, stepped towards me and said “I never thought anyone could make music like this”. i told him that i thought my heart exploded and we went back to the grinning and pupil dilation towards said band.
Anyway, i hear that one of these Misty’s gigs is going to have a setlist voted for entirely by the viewers of their MySpace page. Seeing as i won’t be there, and i’d rather have a slap in the buttocks with a wet towel than a MySpace profile, i won’t be voting. But if i was…
Misty’s Big Adventure – Fighting For My Life
Misty’s Big Adventure – Microwave
Misty’s Big Adventure – The Whaleians
Apparently the new Misty’s album, Funny Times, is finished but took so long to get done because no record company would have them. Jeez, what a world. But i hope it’s a world that has a good weekend.
