Fancy a Rogue on a MerryGoRound? ...

As you probably know by name is that i heart the Rogues.
Second single has dropped meaning a new yummy video to go along.



Very good indeed. Beyond Good. Totally like excellent. Better then could have thought for an unsigned band right?

Anyway here's the live version from Glastonbury YES GLASTONBURY!!!


Sounds the same part from the more upbeat rift, LIVE and the raindrops of sweat.

Anyway you pre-order the new EP. http://friendsvsrecords.bigcartel.com/product/rogues out on the 23rd November i believe...

Waste Space. http://www.myspace.com/rogues May be hitting your town soon, going on tour November/December. Yes. Go. See. Them. Do. It.

Also do some legal stalking http://twitter.com/roguesmusic

Also a massive treat. Sam James is on the new Example track. Coming soon TO THIS VERY BLOG....

I blame the X-Factor on...............

Everything, all the problems in the world, i blame this dumb ass most untalented ' entertainment talent' TV show. All the worlds issues from the credit crunch to the Somali pirates(always wanted to be one of them) even to the fat cat MPs buying a kit Kat. This is where i lay the blame, its that big of a deal. I don't think i can handle any more chit chats every Monday morning about this piece of crap. The twats are not even singing songs that they wrote themselves, so what, they may be able to sing (i don't know i don't watch it) but that's not talent. Basically you may as one call that bunch of idiots like westlife (cover after cover after cover). If that was your dream then bloody work your ass off, create a hardcore fan base, get in contact with them, spend most of the year on the road and actually write songs that have a meaning to YOU. Like how can JLS sing about 'love' when the songs not even about them being in love. Bloody cheese balls. Its hard that some geunie talented people get knocked back time after time but one day those will make it, when i heard that Duffy was gigging for almost 5years (correct me if i am wrong) now shes got real raw talent, could have gone onto win a show easy,but would have lost creditable in my eyes. Surely knowing that the house your sitting in was all down to your own hard work now how proud would you be? Not like that punched up Leona Lewis who basically got a free house without actually having to do any hard work, part from go to a studio and sing someone else songs.

I did watch that orange unsigned programme on C4 on the hungover Sunday afternoons, now i have respect for this show, real bands, real beats, real singing, performed and sang by themselves, i am aware that most musicians have a producer or work with others, but are working along side not 'here's a song now sing it' anyway i am bored of this, i may have to slit my wrists due to this depression of this blog. Excuse me while i find the one labelled. XFACTOR IS FOR A BUNCH TWATS!

(once again poor spelling, that bloody check button will not work, time to take it to court)

The Dead Weather

No i am not talking about the weather outside although i do love the cold weather, anyway i am talking about a brilliant band.

So i right this blog in complete and utter ear ringing, spaced out and very pleased with the choice of taking a train ride to Birmingham to watch The Dead Weather, to be fair i was not disappointed to the say the least. If your unaware of who the fuck i am talking about think Jack White (White Stripe and Raconteurs) Alison Mosshart (The Kills and Discount) Dean Fertita (Queens of the stone age) and Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs and The Green Homehornes). In one group oh yes THE perfect super group.

(Werid ay? Get me one of them guns please i have a few i would like to gun down Madonna, La Roux Lady GaGa could really go on and on)
Anyway amazing live like i cannot express how good they are good, just unbelievable. Usually you go see a band, band members just play they own instrument, but no not the Dead Weather they where swapping around changing equipment, it felt like part of the set not hanging around for a few seconds while they got the stuff together, they worked brillant together. Although during with the song 'Will there be enough water' i think Jack and Alison may have exchanged words as she stormed off to the other side of the stage, but it felt like part of the set, considering they played it as a 'strong sexual song' with jack and alison sharing the microphone literally almost kissing thing is his married, two kids. Then again Alison is a pretty flirty person even with Jamie Hince from the Kills or Kate Moss other half to most of you.





I usually dislike female front women mostly cos they are really annoying and play on the 'i have tits and an ass i dont need to perform my tits do the talking', but fuck me Alison Mosshart is amazing front women, she sure knew how to rock it out and work the crowd. She was more then happy to jump from side to side up and down, having no care in the world only stopping for 'beer breaks'

I guess it does help that she is pretty fit actually shes well fit beyond fit. Although a few guys where shouting out 'my cock in your face' and 'let me come on you' quite insulting? Then again at the birmingham o2 academy it was a pretty random bunch of people considering The Dead Weather are a rock band, was weird to see people moshing in trackie bottoms and skin heads. Then again i was not in London so when i see them On thursday at o2 Brixton sure i will get the feel that i am at a rock gig not a football match. Although towards the end people just started crowd surfing towards the front for no reason, with only one man as security and like 5 coming over at once, many feel straight on the floor, much laughter among the crowd. Oh i am also loving Jacks hair us curly people need to stick togther and fight the power of a small plug in iron thing.

Also had a pretty good support band think they where called Creature With The Atom Brain, sorry but thats a pretty good name for a band. Had me really feeling the tuneages blasted out. Will be looking them up some time soon.

Albums HoreHound is out now: GET IT. WILL NOT REGRET IT.

Put on your to do list: http://www.thedeadweather.com/

Also if you live in London and are reading this before the 30th/31st October Jack White is putting on some merch on sale at Shoreditch church. Meet you there yeah?

(My spell check is not working, so if you spot mistakes/bad grammer, i blame the check button)

Go Tight off....

OK so i seem to have a thing for fishnet/tights at the minute, it's like totally my new addiction darlings beats crack any day, however it has been made to my attention on a number of different times that i LIKE TO RIP MY TIGHTS, can i just say tights are very thin especially the pretty patterned i swear a £8 per of tights will last me 2 Min's hence me spending least £40 a week on tights (not ashamed) anyway i am one of those who don't give a shit if my tights happens to get a ladder i will rock it out while some would cry i just don't let it bother me (then again nothing bothers me) but it seems that non 'my people' seem to see it as a problem an look at me like i have been raped or just come out the local whore house or something, I recently got some dirty slag shout at me 'buy some new tights you tramp' my response was too laugh in her face causing her to get angry saying i am taking the piss ( i laugh at EVERYTHING) so she ended up storming away shouting all sorts of names mainly 'weird emo', i don't see this as an insult just makes me more prouder to not fit into society. Seems to be the girls who are not really 'in my scene' (i hate that word, but you get the drift) look upon me in sheer horror it is like love i ain't gonna change my tights just so that i can look all pretty and neat. I don't care, but the guys see it as some 'sex thing' i don't know why, maybe time to dig that A-level psychology book out lets see what Freud's would make of this.

Although it seems that since this picture of peaches geldof came about i have seen more and more girls rocking the ladder look out......Hmm. Ripped tights are gonna be BIG this season, so thanks fashion your BEHIND ME, i got there months ago now for a new tight theme.......

Can i just say i have this exact pair of topshop tights and mime did this before i even left the house, so when i heard people calling her some dirty grunge i jumped to Peaches defence. My Tights do this without me having to fall over on the pavement although i am a 'dirty little indie grungy' apparently

I LOVE HOLES IN MY TIGHTS!!!

(Whoops yet another pointless blog on my behalf)

Dropping the Florence with the Harris

OK so i know my third blog in one day WTF! ay? I have no idea either. Please don't judge. I just got over exicted when i saw that Florence and Harris have new tunes coming out. Neither of the 2 videos i am gonna drop fail to disappoint

watch bitches!!!



No words but WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW




Finally a decent video from Calvin lets be honest the past few have been pretty shite. One of the better songs on his over hyped album i preferred acceptable in the 80s but hey people have to change.

This is my last blog now i promise, as i will now hang my fingers up along the computer cables.

The Rogues only went and got in the Sun newspaper

Yeah boy!! My favourite Harrow band only went and got a mention in the Sun newspaper, maybe my first time with the Sun but i do believe it is a popular newpaper i am more of a guardian/metro newspaper person but enough about me. Anyway i was there at the Monarch in camden, never fail to impress ever.

Ones to watch ... Rogues

Fall in love with a Rogue
By NADIA MENDOZA

Published: 08 Oct 2009


WITH jeans skinnier than my pinky finger and cheekbones sharp enough to slit your wrists on, ROGUES have brought back a slice of 90s glam.
Front man SAM JAMES possesses an irresistible cocktail of arrogance and uncertainty onstage circa early MANIC STREET PREACHERS.
These boys may be too cool for school, but they still had to work hard to impress the sweaty and cramped Monarch crowd in the heart of Camden on Tuesday.
But facing the challenge head-on, they roared through a set brimming with sincerity and a rare charm you can't quite put your finger on.
Infectious melodies and charismatic men that still want to be boys make you want to be a part of this band.
Even Rogues-virgins who don't know the lyrics will wave goodbye to their inhibitions and dance along.
Or maybe the black sambucus helped with that?
Their sweaty enthusiasm makes you feel like a rebel on a school night rather than clock-watching to go home.
They have a raw appeal by virtue of being an unsigned act chasing the dream.
Let's hope they can hold on to it once the A&R man comes knocking.



People i cannot stress more, these guys kick ass. Go see them perform now while only paying like a fiver cos one day they gonna be charging £50 a piece. May even start my own label so i can own them. Not a lie. Am thinking about this.

Am listening to........

The weird and wonderful stuff. Dont like it me dont care. Dont read it. Go on sod of. Interested in weird music? Then watch and listen.



So saw The big pink guys last week in London part of some U:diesel event thing, it was like spot the 'famous person' i was happy with my cider and music to be fair.




Please please dont dismiss them on this track alone go listen to more tracks are actually very good. ( you calling them emo come slit with me over that quote no thought not!)




So beautiful and dreamy
''a moment, a love a dream, aloud a kiss, a cry our rights, our wrongs a moment, a love a dream, a loud a moment, a love a dream, a loud''
Am very pleased that finally they are getting the success that they deserve reading festival they kicked ass, amazing.
''so stay there cause i'll be coming over and while our blood's still young it's so young, it runs and won't stop til it's over won't stop to surrender''





Ok so like so one else seems to like them, but i love the randomness of the chorus and oh the northern accent (sucker for an accent) I have to confess though i did go see them live at Camden Crawl purely based on the name title got me hooked seen them 3times since so boo you haters!!




Bet you hate that? good cos they like to be hated. Another band i saw based on name i feel for the inner punk in me. I remember seeing them at a goth rave at Shoreditch church possible the best place for them. Great mess at gigs.

Sorry this blog was just purely to find my favorite songs at the moment in one block of crap. Thanks for not actually caring feel free not to care cos i dont care either, caring is not good for peoples health so i dont care neither should you

Went to the Dams.....

OK so i never usually write what i get up to and that cos 1) i cannot be bothered 2) non of your fucking business 3) i am usually to screwed up to remember anything, But i went away for my birthday (now officially 21,WHAT!!) and came back with enough memories to last me till i am shivering in my coffin 6foot under.

It started on the evening of 8th October all we had was a pack bag filled with clothes, euros and passport that's it. Thought it would an adventure to NOT book a hotel or any sleeping arrangements at all till we arrived in amsterdam to keep our options open. Ended up sleeping rough for a few days not that we even did any kinda sleeping just sat under a bridge drinking and drinking and drinking when all the cafes closed and to be fair they closed pretty damn late and believe me when i say we discovered the most sickening yet amushing sights ever witnessed from watching a midget live sex show to watching a few tough looking blokes giving it each other like i said sicken yet appalled that i had to watch (feeling sick yet? should i did in the inside) That's enough about the amount of sex shows we watched in the red light district, oh before i get off this topic lets just say i saw holes i never knew that existed and i am 21!!! anyway i got ran over by a bicycle led to me sitting on the floor crying with laughter while the tourists sat there screaming at me in non English accent i have no idea what she was saying i guess it was something like ' you stupid british freak drunk' my tights got even more laddered (don't mind through) anyway we found some grotty brothel/hostel (yes we lefted our stuff in a brothel) thing parked our bags and went to party hard like Andrew W.K and good did we party on i got mistaken for a hooker blame the holey tights, red hair and rotten finger nails and looking lost and alone (i have a habit of walking around drunk and alone) but yeah the poor guy didn't know what to do when @the jayjayman finally found me he had a snuffle with the guy then demanded 20euros of him otherwise he was gonna call the police and say he attacked me the guy give us our 20euros basically he paid for sex but all he got was a guy round his throat, oh the shame. If i ever need to leave London with no job i know where i can get one. Dear friend @tomodudeo did almost get arrested, the police thought he was trying to buy drugs on the street when in fact all he was asking for was a lighter but was making the hand signals of 'wanting a smoke' thought he was asking for weed,it is like mate almost every cafe you can get it legal why the fuck are people gonna buy it on the street. We did spend most of it down the red light with clear signs of 'NO CAMERAS' yet people where still trying to take photos of the girls at night in the windows did watch a group of stag night dudes get chased by some heavy man demanding the camera for taking picture of his girl, if that's your girl why the fuck is she self raping herself in the window. Only been back a few hours so i will add another blog or something laters or never and i have a number of hundreds of emails to mark as 'read' and leave unanswered.

I do hope to go Thu the pile of crap in my room to find my camera lead, i have over a thousand picture on my camera that have been saved up for months. (above picture is not mime) so hopefully i can find it and do a blog purely for photos.

So have i missed anything from the UK (if you dare say X factor i will have sex with an STI person that pass it onto you and spit in your come shake)
