The Good, The Bad & The Queen - no comments

Apologies for the lack of posts - attending the following media-trailed music event cost me a Thursday night-full of posting, plus a 5-10% loss of alertness the next day.



GB&Q comprises Blur's Damon Albarn, Paul Simonon of The Clash, Tony Allen of Fela Kuti, and ex-Verve guitarist Simon Tong. I'm not too good at music reviews, but you can listen to the whole thing (the forthcoming album was played from start to finish) at the BBC for the next few days, and view clips at the band's website. The new single, Herculean, is out tomorrow and will be deleted the same day, so they have a good chance of taking the Hit Parade by storm.

The stories of how we managed to obtain five tickets in the first place, how BBC security was breached, and how a Borat poster was later used to shocking effect will have to wait for another day. All very undignified :-)
