day 07 | whatever tickles your fancy

Unspeakably late, sorry.

A Miscellany:

As promised Dave Allen sketches, still not the one I wanted but still very funny:

On his first day at school - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxo81Ok9Urk

The funeral sketch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kLTbvjqF6Y Possibly my favourite of his sketches.

Sex - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDnDyjWSH4Y

Masturbation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA-chhs5uOA&feature=related

Formula 1:

Jenson Button is champion, which I don't begrudge him, but oh how I wish Rubens could have won. Mostly because he's been such a good sport about it. And I'm in love with Ross Brawn's brain, as per, because he's totally won it for Brawn GP. Blog on why this is all quite amazing here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/andrewbenson/2009/10/the_remarkable_story_of_brawn.html

Boxing:

Normally I'm all for cheering on the smaller guy, but I really hope Nickolay Valuev knocks seven bells out of David Haye - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8317039.stm - mostly because Haye is not only nasty in a most uncalled for manner, but because he always backs down when called on it. Because whichever Klitchko brother was going to fight him and mysteriously, a back injury happens.

Music:

I have finally found a video of Symposium, one of the lost Brit-pop, and how I still miss them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1yo2SSvtxw (although I do prefer the live version).

Other lost brit-pop bands -

Gene - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT1JSa_quLk - Speak to Me Someone aka the one where it's obvious that he wants to be Morrissey.

3 Colours Red - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5mCkIrbPvU - basically one of those unlucky bands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Colours_Red) and this is my favourite of their tracks. Copper Girl, how you haunt my dreams to this day.

Hurricane #1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jPZgLszqRY Step Into My World, which I love for the guitar line. One of their members was a member of Oasis before they split up.

Elastica - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPeJixp-zp4 Waking Up - I had such the greatest crush of Justine Frischmann, the lead singer. She's still quite close to my ultimate woman.

Dark Star - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCRhcTJGfwA

Very personal choice, I saw the Jools Holland both of these are from and bought the album the next day which I just don't do. They are every bit as awesome as they look.

Other Brit-pop bands that just weren't as successful as they ought to have been -

The Bluetones )

Seahorses )

Cast )

Kula Shaker )

Feeder )

Mansun )

Space )

Ocean Colour Scene )

Idlewild )

Supergrass )

Skunk Anansie )

Ash )

Other than that, another link that won't ever not be awesome - Rage Against the Machine at the RNC - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYwzW2QFnwo
