Altogether now! ‘I see your true colours …

So Huey Morgan proved himself an ungracious loser at the Sony Awards last night, insulting colleagues just because he didn’t get a shiny bauble and a pat on the head. ‘they won’t let a dude from NY’ get an award etc. (Then cue the ‘well, I don’t care about awards anyway!’ addendum. Sure, we really got that from the string of rants you posted up.)

Well, maybe it will cheer you up, dear Huey, to remind you that - splendid on air as you are - you, a pop star, were gifted a plum broadcasting gig while others who had trained hard for years & dreamed of such an opportunity make tea and bag cover shifts for peanuts at Radio Cleethorpes. Hope that makes a poor, ostracised and incredibly fortunate and successful dude from New York feel better.

Diddums.

(And 6music itself got an award! Be proud, Huey, be proud!


PS if you have no idea what the crivens I’m going on about, here’s what happened. (Oh and by the way, it’s apparently Twitter’s fault. IT MADE HIM DO IT.)


ArtRocker.

Ooh, take me down to Shoreditch city where the stares are blank and the jeans are skinny… Yes, it’s time for the inaugural Artrocker Awards. We’re not in Essex any more, Toto. I hope Guns ‘n’ Roses would approve of my little adaptation there. Luckily It was a while until I felt the need to bellow the lyric that follows (‘oh won’t you please take me home…’) 

It was certainly jolly to hang for a bit with The Jesus And Mary Chain, and see them collect their gong for being generally excellent in every way, and of course John Foxx and Gary Numan. Hurrah.

However, it was only when I returned to my homestead that I heard that my chum and sometime saw instructor John Moore was presented with aftershave and a SCARF. Nobody gave me aftershave and a scarf. I know I’m not in the Jesus and Mary Chain but…

I BET I missed out on some kind of goodie-bag situation. Gahhh *shakes fist skyward*
Still, I had a lovely time and had some pictures taken in one of those jovial photo booth affairs wot you don’t have to pay for. 
Thank you Artrocker for a luvverly day and for the very nice Sailor Jerry and ginger beer that was most sustaining, and congrats to you and all the gong-winners.


Dear chaps…

It’s best to aim conversation at my face rather than my bosom, as my bosom rarely listens nor indeed does it pass messages on.

‘Kaythanksbye.


I love Keith Moon. I’ve loved him since I was a very little girl and he was TOTES (as those young people say) one of the inspirations for me picking up drumsticks about 20 years ago. So, you know.. yay Moonie. That’s all I wanted to say, really.


People who are not six but still say ‘yum’ or ‘yummy’ should take a long, hard look at themselves.


I’ll be honest with you, much as I admire Mrs Miller (below)… I still feel this is more moi. Blurt - ‘Puppeteer’. Makes me cheery AND want to break things but in a GOOD WAY.


No words needed for this. It speaks for itself. This will either cheer you immeasurably or make you deeply depressed. 


People who over-laugh…

… at famous people’s mildly amusing comments are slightly tiresome, aren’t they? 

I’m listening to it happen right now on a radio station that shall remain nameless with a DJ who shall remain nameless and a celebrity who shall also remain nameless. It’s going a bit like this.

Famous person: ‘So then I got on the bus.”

DJ: “PAAAAHAHAHAHA! Brilliant.”

Famous person: “Then I thought about some stuff.”

DJ: “HahahahahaHAAAAAAA! I love it. Then what happened?”

Famous person: “Dunno really.”

DJ: “WHEEEEEEEEZE! Pahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa!! This is SO good. *wipes away tears of mirth* etc”

Give me STRENGTH. Oddly enough I interviewed this very interviewee a while ago and he informed me that one of the things he finds most bemusing is when people over-laugh at anything he says that is even slightly jovial. (Naturally, I split my sides.)

Sending a truckload of love to London. It’s heartbreaking seeing people turning on their own community like this, scaring their neighbours and destroying buildings that have been part of the fabric and spirit of the neighbourhoods that are being attacked.I don’t know exactly what that kind of violence is supposed to fix.

I heard yesterday that Alex from the choir Gaggle was one of the Tottenham residents who lost their homes in the fires as did many other families in her building alone. Stating the obvious here, but hurting the lives of innocents, burning buses and smashing up and looting cut-price stores that you’d otherwise rely on has bugger all to do with the original protest and undermines those who were trying to make an actual point in the first place.

On a sweeter note, I hear that there’s a cake shop in Brixton that is giving out free goodies today to ‘spread love and kindness’. That’s more like it.

Stay safe, London. 


‘Come on with me cruising down the street 
Who knows what you’ll see, who you might meet 
This brave new world’s not like yesterday…’
