hello bastards with cameraphones

Dec 1, 2008, 11:37pm I shook the royal throne
In early August I went down to London and went to a few good gigs, a boring in-store performance and a nice festival that was marred by slightly rubbish organisation. I've got a fair bit of media and thoughts about all of them and I'll make some very late judgements ...

Hey, remember I said I'd have some photos for you by now? That was before I locked myself out of my bedroom. Ho hum, to Poundstrecher for a cheap screwdriver it is, then. Or perhaps Wickes? For the time being, I'm in Manchester and I'm convinced that the ...

nail the cross review - diary of a rural warrior

Sep 28, 2008, 10:28pm I shook the royal throne
Can a review of Nail The Cross be done in three hundred words? We report, you decide. I had my reservations about this event but they were generally washed away with good times and off licensing. Music with guitars! These New Puritans are no longer staid, and fronted by Bizarro Simon ...

So, the day of reckoning has arrived for this celebration of okay bands and shitloads of dubstep: Nail The Cross started about an hour ago and I should really go up and enjoy the parade of Shoreditchers and promoters throwing money away in the name of making SE14 look special. Not ...

hello bastards

Sep 26, 2008, 11:28am I shook the royal throne
Things I need to do before I feel like blogging again. Move into my house properly. No food, no clean clothes, only two Alan Partridge DVDs and somehow my new room is a mess. Purchase a camera, or perhaps just several Tesco Value disposable things because inferiority is ...

ISTRT PODCAST #3 - the observer magazine sums it up

Sep 9, 2008, 4:45pm I shook the royal throne
As you can see, I still have time on my hands. Me and my friend Marcus are back armed with alcohol and beers and musics. Ninety or so minutes, probably offensive to somebody and so forth. Be sure to listen out for the lineup for my upcoming New Cross Inn ...

ISTRT PODCAST #2 - put a donk on it

Aug 2, 2008, 9:15pm I shook the royal throne
This is a bit of a cop out, to be honest - this one is lacking in banter entirely. Instead, have a mixtape that illustrates the kind of material that has soundtracked my gradual and inevitable decline. You could probably stick it on an actual cassette; it'd be nice to ...

allegedly the investigation is still ongoing

Jul 29, 2008, 5:54pm I shook the royal throne
If the above image doesn't fill you with glee: Scott Pilgrim is the creation of Bryan Lee O'Malley and involves seven ex-boyfriends, Sneaky Dee's, Chinese men slicing streetcars in half, bands named after Mega Drive obscurities and KNIVES CHAU? I will be talking about little else come February 4th, 2009 – ...

SUPERSONIC FESTIVAL Custard Factory, Birmingham Friday 11th to Sunday 13th July 2008 Birmingham feels like Lincolnshire thrown into a blender with a few more buses, a less impressive cathedral and those silver balls you put on cakes. Digbeth in particular smacks of wandering down Freeman Street in Grimsby, except it's been taken over ...

Hey, have a comic instead of original content. Cat and Girl by Dorothy Gambrell is a comic that I became aware of because of a T-shirt portraying the eponymous characters as Vikings. As someone who was that ex-roommate who sold all but five of his CDs, I emphasise with what ...

Two French exchange students found dead after a fire in south-east London were the victims of a ''frenzied, horrible and horrific attack'' having been bound and stabbed repeatedly in the head, neck and torso before the house was set alight. Laurent Bonomo, of Velaux, and Gabriel Ferez, ...

Jun 26, 2008, 10:14pm I shook the royal throne
I miss New Cross. The past nine months have been certainly something - chaotic, expensive, wonderful, three pound ten a pint - but that was all expected, rather unlike the gaping chasm that once housed my overdraft and my continued inadequacy when it comes to spirit measures. For every time stood ...
