Newspaper cuttings

Continuing with the shorter and more frequent style introduced in the previous post, I'm going to finish the introductions here. There's a lot to get through.

Most importantly Hook, Line & Singer records are all go on The MüVs. The website is here, the forum is here, you're sat wasting time at work reading the blog and at last myspace have got their shit together and we're on there too. Most people reading this will have recieved an email containing a polite request to get involved and support The MüVs and are therefore no doubt suffering symptoms close to overkill. For this reason I'll be brief with publicity stuff and move swiftly on to the more pressing matter of 8 foot snowmen:

Readers, in accordance with my anti-commercialism stand against the festive period I have decided to wrap all my presents in newspaper (the Guardian probably but if I run short I'll consider The Current Bun). I can no longer see the logic in buying roll after roll of the shiny stuff simply to watch it be torn to shreds and turn from something so innocent to a considerable fire hazard. I am, however, in London this Christmas and wont be shirking my alpha male responsibilities when it comes to decorating the house in the manner I remember my old man did in his prime (think he gets a man in these days).

And so we come to my conundrum. How to maintain my integrity and distance from the Christmas retail juggernaught and the need (can't stress this point enough) to keep a happy missus. The answer? 8 foot snowman.

My mate Richard has joined the blogging community as the Limited Edition he's promised 'views and opinions that may upset, shock...' I for one know he's more than capable, well worth a bookmark.

Did a gig for the suits at Canary Wharf last week, a storming success. Ended up going on last (I like to say headlining) and doing 5 numbers to an excellent reception, thank you to those who made the trip. BAFTA new music winners Urban Dove went on just before me (great, I always pick the perfect time of night to play, more than held my own by the way) and although the main idea behind these pages is to promote The MüVs, I've always got a line or two for quality musicians. Check them out, but make sure they know where you heard it first. Keep checking The MüVs live as there's quite a bit of activity at the moment, look forward to seeing you there.

Freebies: Posted some very sharp merchandising wallpapers here, along with a quiz to test your knowledge. There'll be a prize for the best score.

As always, it's lovely that you decided to spend some time here x
