Where's Mavis? / Captain's Blog 16.12.09

You know what's a good song? Breed by Nirvana. Very good indeed.

Of course that's not news to you, but it just came on the old pod and there was nobody nearby to say it to, so I thought I'd mention it here.

I've got to be honest with you, my papier mache construction crew hasn't grown quite as quickly as I'd have liked, but that's OK, it's a busy time of year, you've got things on your mind, socks to buy and winter snuggles to chase, we'll talk about the gluey newspaper in the new year. You just promise you'll spend this wet winter trying hats on until one makes you smile and doodling designs for the cover of your autobiography whenever there's a lull in activity.

So this week was the week I showed up late, having a prior engagement with a room full of giggling people, the 8th annual Lancashire Tickle Orgy. You should come next year, the look on the face of someone when they go to tickle someone's feet and find the nervous reflex means they have to spend the rest of the night removing a big toe from their little nostril, my word, it's a joy.

Irrelevant nonsense, sorry.

The point is, I arrived in the middle of the witching hour to find a full venue with enthusiastic dancing mobs on both floors, which warmed my cockles, and made the long day worthwhile. Jammie & Jonny then went on to play what sounded to me like a couple of the best and most varied setlists I've heard in ages, and you guys seemed to take it all in your stride and bounce, wobble and wiggle yourselves into glee. Which was terribly nice to witness.

Big one next week, 3 floors of music. I'd suggest getting your requests in early and poking your mates in the ribs until they do the same.

Most imaginative use of a piece of tinsel wins a piece of tinsel.

Whilst writing this note I was listening to How to Clean Everything by Propagandhi, at the start I deliberately turned it up just loud enough to annoy my neighbours, who play far too much Call of Duty, by the third song I felt bad and turned it down a bit. That's just how I roll.
