Well apart from Pete Bleedin' Doherty there are few enough decent sex and drugs and rock n roll scandals in these Coldplay times, so it's good to see some hot cocaine action from Bay City Roller heart throb Les McKeown.
Apparently dear old Les has been rumbled for masterminding a rather crap cocaine scam...good grief, can a man not be left alone to make a living? The bbc website helpfully points out that 'The Bay City Rollers shot to fame with hits such as Bye Bye Baby and Shang-A-Lang in the 1970s.'

I don't know what's happened to me -I've bought another cd, the third in two weeks. Malcolm Middleton, ex Arab Strap, a band about whichI know nothing, a miserabilist classic. One of the top 3 lps of the year so far...
He was at the Summer Sundae at de Montfort hall this weekend just gone - I missed him, but caught Patti Smith and The Wedding Present and Jackie Leven and The Earlies, all of whom were terrific, and what a great festival...

Blow it out of your ass, needle dick
some recent albums which I've actually paid for - drastic I know.
Seth Lakeman - the token folkie at this year's Mercury Music awards. Recorded in his brother's kitchen. Fiddles at the ready...
Micah P Hinson - The Baby And The Satellite...lo-fi predecessor to the second best album of last year.
...and an illegal pre-release download of the new Elbow cd, Leaders Of The Free World...sounds fantastic, includes potential track of the year Station Approach.
in other news...retro pie-eaters the Magic Numbers have stormed off Top of The Pops, on the suspicion that Richard 'Snowblind' Bacon accused them of being fat. Apparently, what he said was they come from ' a fat melting pot of talent'. Well, it got them more publicity than a TOTP appearance would have achieved...
Coming up - Patti Smith live at Summer Sundae - the Fall and Alabama 3 returning to Notts for the second time in a year...
last night, the Muffin Men - Zappa tribute at Rock City, featuring bona fide ex-Mother Of Invention Jimmy Carl Black - older than my dad, apparently.
freak out!
