News item Last night in Bethnal Green

Written Saturday 23 January 2010 5:59pm
I enjoyed the gig in Bethnal Green last night - it was in a vegan cafe and I got a free meal, which was a lovely start to the evening. And I managed to play a new song, called "an old man flicking through a pornographic magazine" - which I'd had the start to for ages but hadn't managed to finish until the night before the gig when I forced myself to have something new to play. Martin couldn't make the gig in the end, so I was back to having the stage to myself, and I played these songs, in this order:

Idiot Food

Gonna go to bed and when I wake up I'm gonna be someone else

I'm ever so slightly spontaneous

When everyone's dead

the access self-storage

an old man flicking through a pornographic magazine

the summer we finally cut our hair

this is a happy song

been a private detective for 17 months

get yourself into the arms of drunken people.

In other news, I noticed in a review of the Nosferatu D2 album on the internet that someone has called me a "lyrical ninja", which is very exciting indeed.
