Gogol Bordello & Bedouin Soundclash

By Stu on Tuesday 7 November 2006 at 18:26

Me and two tall tom drove all the way to Brighton on a day to see a man shown in the photo and his band Gogol Bordello who were very good - but then you could have worked that out from his picture couldn't you. Before this band were another band called Bedouin Soundclash (f current advert song in the charts fame) who were also very good, with a very very funky drummer. After this we went out on the beer to a small bar with new order posters on the ceiling and then onto another bar called audio where said bands were drinking (although not the violin player - he had his own booth where he ate doritos and salsa and looked very angry in a ukranian kind of way), but we did not talk to the them cos we were scared, and drunk. Anyway, I thought I would take time out my day to tell you this. I advise that you take time out of your day to look at this mans photograph again and to start wearing purple (as one of his ditty's goes). Cheers.

also, I forgot to mention this is the beginning of a lot of gigs that we drunkenly promised we were going to go to. The next one is Magic Numbers on 28th Nov in Brighton again. After that is Babyshambles in Bristol on the 6th December. Fancy it?

Frankly Stu, I can't believe you went to see some nutter gypsy band without even asking me (unless you already did and I just can't remember, in which case sorry).

However, I'm quite up for Magic Numbers, so let's just forget the whole thing and talk about this at the weekend, when I will be getting very, very drunk (and thus in perfect organising mood).

Dammit again I have messed up! This is the 3rd post I have written and I blame it on the monkeys as i have each time stupidly put 6 instead of 5!! Mark have you channged the question? I am sure it was 6 last time?

Anway what I meant to put, which after the 3rd time i can't really remember, was basically-
1. Stuart, you went to Bristol to see a man with a tash?
2. Glad you had a nice time!
3. Probably won't come as I can't even say the name!
4. Don't really know of the other things you mentioned
5.Stupid 6 monkeys not 5!
6. I quite fancy that man
7. Did you get his number?
8. I think I may come next time actually thinking about it!
9. What did they play?
10. stupid monkeys!

I like squirrels, the ones that I know have done great favours for me! One day one of them, I can't remember his name came running over and said " I think that you should go to China and set up a shop that sells only Beef products!" Well off I went and sold everything Beefy, like pens, postcards,cheese, radios, and people, all made of beef!! I was a great hit and won lots of prizes and made a lot of money!!! Now I am in hiding as cows try to kill me!

The moral of the story is- do what the squirrels tell you, but except the consequences!!!!

Damn those rodents!!!! I spent my last pennies on that bottle and the creatures stole it!!!! Unles I really didn't have a bottle and they tricked me into believing that they stole it!!!

Sorry Suart, Love the band and not the squirels!!!!

(Mark, honestly I don't talk to myself, really, I'm just so bored with not being able to sleep ever, ahhhhhh! I also find my own company far more fullfilling than being with most people I know, your company obviously excused!!!)
