PARTY 2009!

Happy new year everyone! This year's gonna be wicked! 2009 is paved with Fruit Pastels, but only the red and black ones, unless you’re one of those weirdos whose favourite is yellow, you can have the ones I don’t need. To start you off, here’s a pic of me in my work clothes, as promised last blog.



We played our first ever private party last week, our mate Ewan’s 30th birthday. It was wicked; check out the video below. There’s a bit during Friends that’s nearly as smooth as when they replaced the old Pippa on Home and Away. One day the blond Pippa disappears and a skinnier, brunette woman just walks into the house, probably having offed the old Pippa, and everyone just calls her Pip cause she’s so confident with it like nothing’s happened and Sally’s all like, “Hey Pip, what are you making for dinner?” and I’m like “Sally don’t be a fucking idiot you can’t trust her, she’s not even Pippa and she’ll put poison in your food you div.” And Sally’s not even suspicious even though she’s lived with Pippa for years and years and should really be expected to spot an imposter. Anyway, here’s the video, keep an eye out for Ewan breaking Krish’s maracas, it looks deliberate doesn’t it?

Now then. This blog's gonna be all about what's going on with MIDDLEMAN and some other stuff too, including tips on making life more exciting. That's the good stuff. Check us out http://www.myspace.com/middlemanpop

December was cool, Huw Stephens has been playing us on Radio 1 again. The man's a legend. So text in to Radio 1 to request us and get us on again.
This is our year! I've got into the Christmas spirit (brandy) by wearing an inflatable santa suit on stage for a couple a gigs. Pics and video will follow soon.

At the end I told the crowd we’d sold out of cds but had vinyl. I said if anyone wanted they could come and see me after the show and I’d give them 7 inches for £3. That's an offer most people couldn't refuse.

Here's this blog's tip: Don't pour wine too violently or you'll bruise it. That's what some pretentious bastard told me at a mate's party the other day. He was drinking some fancy red, I was knocking back pink ribena wine. They say you can tell how good a wine is by how deep the indent is in the bottom cause waiters put their thumb in it to pour one handed in fancy restaurants. Well, my bottle had a screw cap and a slightly convex base, like a sugary glass weeble. As well as being cheaper, I got the extra mouthful of wine contained by the convex bulge. Bruise that you winey snob.

Finally, here's my tip for the 2009 Christmas number one spot, Pall Makartneh by Pillers of the Community:
