So, it's been election season. As we all, no doubt, know. David Cameron and the Conservatives won. Kinda. The champs at Banquet Records have made a Fat Wreck inspired "Not My Prime Minister" t-shirt.
So, what does this have to do with me?
Anyone who knows me should know I'm a massive Saved By the Bell fan. So much so, I've been re-watching Season One recently and, rather conveniently, happened to come across the "The Election" episode. Quick plot summary: Jessie runs for Student Body President. Zack learns that whoever wins gets a free trip to Washington. Zack decides to run. Zack wins, feels guilty for shafting Jessie for personal gain, and then resigns. Leaving her as president.
So...
If I got these made would you buy one?
Cheers, yo.

Tomorrow is polling day
Tomorrow you have the chance to vote. Please use it. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for (I have my preferences, obviously) but it's not my place to tell you who you can and can't vote for.
What I ask is that you do use that right to vote. You have the ability to take part in this democratic process and I implore you to take advantage of that.
That is all.

So, where were we?
Aside from mis-using promotional tools for cutesy animal movies, of course.
Last night Nick Griffin got rinsed on Question Time. Much fun was had by all.
Work is under way on issue 2 of the zine. So far we've shifted 60 copies of issue 1 (as in sold, given to shops, traded for stuff, etc) and, well, I'm pretty damn chuffed with that! I'm likely going to get another 30 printed up tomorrow. If you want to contribute anything for issue 2 (or any subsequent issue, as this does seem to have become an ongoing project) please get in touch. I should have an interview with Jeff Rosentock (Bomb the Music Industry) in issue 2 which I am absolutely fucking stoked about. I've been a huge fan of Jeff's work for years, and getting to put him on earlier this year was such a high point for me, plus he turned out to be a genuinely nice dude as well.
John Power Up is carrying on the tradition of Power Up in Norwich in my absence by booking some stellar shows. Namely; The Skints, The Peacocks, Kevin Devine and We Are the Union. So if you're in the Fine City, look out for those.
I've nearly finished demoing the new MC iPod EP. The four tracks are written, and I've tracked vocals for three of them, just need to do this last one. I'll see how it all sounds together and make a decision as to where I'll do the final recording. It might end up being my bedroom (as usual), but I'm learning more about recording technique so it'll sound better than previous stuff. The demos - in my opinion - sound pretty good.
So yeah, good times generally. Keep watching the skies, as they say.

Because it is pretty cool...
EDIT: There was an Alvin and the Chipmunks thing here, where you could record your own voice and a Chipmunk would say it. Obviously, mine was obscene. It is now gone though.

O...k...
So, I use Bandcamp to host an MC iPod profile. Bandcamp is ace as you can upload a million songs (well, I've not found a limit so far), charge for downloads if you want, offer many formats, yadda, yadda, yadda.
You also get a ton of awesome stats. Including how people found your profile.
I have an MC iPod song called Sexual Kids which is about realising that every girl has already fucked some dude before you - people fuck younger these days - get over it.
Point is, apparently someone found my profile by searching for the term "sexual kids" on the Polish Google.
So I have a Polish paedo listening to my music. Obviously, him (I'm assuming it's a dude) being Polish isn't an issue, but I can't say I'm thrilled about some paedo listening to my tunes. Especially if they're expecting some sort of graphic depiction of children fucking (which they're most definitely not going to get).
Anyway, rant over.
Listen to my tunes though! Unless you're a paedo.

THE ZINE IS OUT NOW!
Yeah, so I haven't updated this in a while owing to the fact that my much-lauded move to the South Coast lasted a week as I bailed and moved back to Cambridge.
Epic fail.
On a happier note though - as the title eluded to (well, I say "eluded", I mean "fucking shouted") - the zine is ready. 76 pages of interviews, reviews, rants and more.

Cheers, yo.
