Wowser! What a bright and beautiful day! I'm full of it today. Absolutely full of it. All borne of the fact that this morning I decided to have a couple of weeks off the booze. Honestly, only hours later I can already feel the benefits. All you suckers devoted to the demon drink could learn a lot from my good example. So, say I last had a drink (although it was shandy - does that even count?)at 10.30 last night. . . that's nineteen hours and counting! And already I'm bursting with vitality!
Other, hopefully more interesting, news: last night Mercury Music Award nominees Maximo Park appeared in RPM music shop. It was class. They did a cracking little set and everyone sweated a lot. I might write a review of it. If the non-drinking results in the increase in productivity I like to think it might. Nice to see real life Newcastle superstars being, er, exactly the same as they were when they drank in the Head of Steam every Friday. 'Cept in sharper suits. . . nice Westwood tie there Smithster. Oh, and more revered, obviously.
Post-park entertainment came in the form of John Egdell's set at Camp David. A neat-o selection of cute covers. Only downside of this performance was that I felt quite sorry for the girl sitting behind me. When Jennie made a gag about it being her and John's first ever live performance behind-me-girl started shouting out all kinds of encouraging, sweet 'hey I think you're the best!' type things. Think she felt a bit of a div when John started shamelessly plugging his album (available in all good. . .).
Guess what I got through the post today? My lovely, lovely guitar strap from www.sparklecraft.com . The brown calico number in case you're wondering. Lush. Now I'm properly accessorised I may actually be able to learn a chord.

If I was named Paul Smith I think I would have rebelled against the formality of suits and would instead be rocking like it's 1980 whilst wearing Grandma knitted odd length sleeve jumpers.
If he wore clothes like the ones you suggest he would have to be in a band that sounded more like the levellers. Though you would probably like that, you pierced hippy you.
