Too Much Too Young 6th October 2010

This week marked the first live edition of Too Much Too Young since the dissolution of The Dream Team (a.k.a. my good self, Joel and Pat). In an unprecedented step I spent a week not ectstacially enthusing about, nor playing, anything related to young Bradfordian heroes No Garden, One Dragon.

Instead, with the help of my colleague Matthew Blakey, the show looked at the positively 80s feel of cinema offerings this week – the action movie parody The Other Guys, the 25th anniversary of Back to the Future and the sequel to the seminal 1987 film Wall Street.

Eclectic Mainline 29th September 2010

Is this me or it a shuttlecock?  Tricky one.

I can see the similarity

Phil Cope said I looked like a shuttlecock this evening.   This was due to pressure exerted upon my mop of hair by my cycle helmet. 

I’m having my hair cut tomorrow anway, so maybe next time Phil sees me he’ll just think I look like a shuttle?

Here’s what I played tonight; I managed to cram quite a number of tunes in tonight, as there was nothing particularly long:
