Whisky Echo / December 19 2007
The bottle of whisky that Scottish Brian gave me a few weeks ago was polished off last night. Surprisingly, I do not have a hangover at all. I do, however, have a bad case of indigestion – whisky always does that to me, especially Jack Daniels. As I was walking Audrey this morning, I was [...]
How It Hangs / December 13 2007
When you get to my age, thirty-five (Eh!? – Ed.), hangovers take on a malevolent character and can be very debilitating.
Nelson returned to London over a week ago and I am only now beginning to feel human again. I blame him - out of pure expediency, naturally - for being a bad influence on me [...]
A Hit With The Ladies / November 29 2007
Audrey and I witnessed a fight between two women outside the Villager pub last night. I cannot repeat here for reasons of decency any of the language being used while blows and insults were being exchanged, but I am sure it is not difficult to imagine the kinds of things that were being said. [...]
Electric Galaxy Continuum / November 26 2007
I’m so excited. Nelson is due to arrive from London on Friday to continue work on his full electric album for Big Arena Records.
I am looking forward to recording his vocals again. I have been sweating away over a hot mixing desk in the studio hard at work on the new Enormous songs for the [...]
Night Moves / November 23 2007
Brian, an old friend from years ago paid me a surprise visit last night. He made me go to the pub and get drunk. You can’t say no to Brian. He is a bluff and hearty Glaswegian and very strong and very persuasive.
‘I don’t really get drunk anymore, Brian. Apart from the physical crapulence, it [...]
Nelson Confined / November 15 2007
So there we both were: I had a weekend off and just stayed in getting drunk as a skunk on cheap red wine; and Nelson Galaxy celebrated his birthday by locking himself in his flat for five days doing more or less the same thing.
Me, I’m an old recluse and I was tired and ready [...]
What Not To Do When Drunk No.1 / November 11 2007
Get drunk again.
Nobody’s Twisting his Arm / November 6 2007
What a big ponce Jimmy Page is for postponing Led Zeppelin’s eagerly-awaited reunion concert in London because of a minor fracture in his finger. He should call off the show completely – do us all a favour.
Once, when Enormous were on tour, the band’s clumsy rhythm guitarist O’Toole lost an arm in a silo explosion [...]
The Language of Love / November 4 2007
A drunken couple were fighting outside in the street at 2am this morning. I had been fast asleep but I couldn’t resist getting out of bed to have look out of the window.
The man had a beer bottle in his hand and was staggering around in the middle of the road. ‘I f***ing love you, [...]
Golden Handshake / October 10 2007
Once, after a meeting with our A+R man – the infamous punk rocker Gene October – we were whisked off to a busy London hostelry with drinking funds provided by our record company IRS Records. As I recall, I did not drink too much during that charming afternoon in Soho and neither did my fellow [...]
