Hello, I am back. I returned from the idyllic leafy confines of Napoleon’s little village last week. We had a brilliant time and I wish I was back there again. I could easily exchange the dirt, noise and loonies of London for family, nice food and conversation. Maybe soon.
You will hopefully be very happy to […]
This shall be my last post for a while. I am off up north to stay with Napoleon for a few days. We shall record some podcasts for your aural pleasure. I suspect we may also get a little drunk for our pleasure (well mine, I don’t think Nap enjoys drinking anymore). Keep an ear […]
It is with great regret, disappointment and a slight degree of anger that I have to announce that the forthcoming Enormous gig has been postponed. As you know, I was to make a glamorous guest appearance this Saturday, banging a tambourine out of time and squealing like a happy pig . . . in make-up.
In […]
The debate rages. As Coldplay release their new album ‘Viva La Vida’ pundits and music lovers around the globe are asking:
“Coldplay…brilliant or bland?”
The answer: Bland…very bland….really really bland….dishwater bland.
Alan McGee, the former head man of Creation Records, once described the band as ‘beans on toast music’. Rather apt, I think.
Oh, definitely bland.
On the Nelson hi-fi […]
I know it is very rude to just copy and paste someone else’s blog post but this one is about me. I apologise to Napoleon but I love his writing and you really do need to pop over to Big Arena Records and check out his podcasts. Or popcasts, as they should be known.
This is […]
I implore you to visit the Big Arena Records website and listen to some of the amazing, nay, astounding, podcasts by one Davy ‘Jet Plane’ Lawrence, aka Napoleon Fantastic. Your ears will weep with joy and you may have yourself a little sex wee.
Davy will be posting the ‘casts on a weekly basis, leading up […]
Big Arena Records is gearing up for the mother of all launch parties. To celebrate they are releasing the stunning Enormous album ‘Electric Baby Grand‘. This will be out in a few weeks and I am very excited.
To celebrate, the handsome genius singer songwriter Davy Lawrence is recording a series of podcasts, to be found […]
I had to face George this morning and tell him I am not prepared to play any part in his sick Paul Young cover versions band. As he stood before me in his tinsel wig and bowler hat I saw a little white tear form at the corner of his eye. His head was lowered […]
George has got it into his little head that it is an amazing idea to create a Paul Young cover version band. He is pestering me everyday, trying to turn me onto the joy of Paul Young’s musical oeuvre. He is desperate for me to play guitar, Pip on bass and Bugsy to bash his […]
I see it all walking over the Millennium Bridge, I really do. Today there was a photo shoot for angular indie guitar band Dirty Pretty Things. The band is made up of a couple of ex-Libertines, whose former singer Pete Doherty can often be found lying on my East End door step, drunk, drugged and […]
