james ferraro

i'm so dreaful at writing about music. i just blah on "yeah its dead good and that" and just make myself look stupid.

last night me, snaggertron, late great kate and rollo went to see james ferraro at camp basement.

he was awesome and he has weird hair. it ended abruptly which was sad.

his latest album "last american hero" which is on the old english spelling bee label that snag always talks about on his show. its sold out at boomkat but you can get it at the internet.

this is him in the skaters

dear mark selby

i'm on the megabus full of fucktards in bandanas on the way to the world snooker final. I had my photo taken with you a few years ago at the q&a you did at Sheffield hallam and since then you overtook o Sullivan to the amazing title of my favourite player.
Why are you playing so crap? Graham dott is weird and mental, why is he beating you?
Me and Lucy have seen the worse snooker you wouldn't even inflict on your worst enemy, last year we went to mark king vs rory mcleod. Please don't make us go to the worst final in recent history.
You're breaking my heart.

From
rachel (& Lucy) x

snooker entrance music

more embarrassing than the darts, watch here

mark king, you're a shit snooker player, not in a hip hop video, grow up.

tavi

shouldn't really be mad jealous of a 14 year old. she has probably never tasted ale from the kelham island brewery but she does have a lot of miu miu.
