Gob Update

Extra! Extra!

Well we seem to have morphed into a 5 piece now! Gaining 2 drummers and a flute player along the way. So it's gonna be even bigger and better than before.

I've written a bunch of new songs for the upcoming Gob gig, some with a dubby feel, others a lot more upbeat, and....Hmmmmmm, how shall I put it? Well Bleeby I suppose ; - )

The old music site went down so here's the new one - Minor Planet

I've also had some badges made up (see the designs above) so it'll be first come, first served on the freebies - maybe some cds to give away too.

See ya there!

Gob Night!

Sweet, so my good friends at Gob - namely Chubbs and Harry are putting us on, on the 26th of August. Unfortunately harry will have left for the Antipodes by then. Happy travels mate :-)

They are here - Gob love 'em!

Fruity Poetry

Got into a Poetry fight over on www.funjunkie.co.uk earlier. For some reason the poetry was mainly fruit and bottom based.

Bob started with:

Bananas are groovy, Bananas are great
I want one as a mate!
If they could speak, what would they ask?
Maybe I should pull this one from my arse.

So I countered with:

Banana's are great, but I'd take a Pear
As long as it wasn't all covered in hair -
From your arse you see, you're leaking a bit.
I'd rather my pear wasn't covered in shit.

Bob answered with:

Smoking makes you look cool.
You probably started at school
They cost a lot
But make sure you do'nt get confused and start smoking cock

By this point I was on a roll and posted the winning two:

The Pommegranate said, as it rolled around.
I can't help but feel I'm too close to ground.
I'll help you out, said the polar bear - whining.
So he shoved it right up where the sun wasn't shining.

I must say it is rather cramped in this crack,
Why are we here? He must want a snack.
The Pear agreed, he'll just eat us later,
As they had to move up the make room for a 'tater.

Binky & Waffle - Superhero Blues

Waffle & Binky - The Xmas Special

And there's more to come you lucky, lucky people......

Fun in the sun

Well not quite: cold, icy, grey skies & traffic jams.
I really need to start cycling to work again - that may sound silly, but it takes half the time, and I'm generally warmer cos of the exercise.

Ho-hum, you gotta laugh eh?

Going to try and get some old cartoons on here later, if I get round to it, and there my friends is the crux IF......they were originally on here http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/, butI'll try and collect them in one place.

Welcome to Minor Planet.

This is the name of my new band - who will be debuting on the 20th May @ the Pheonix in Exeter (the day before my 31st b'day!)

It's also my philosophy, we live on a minor planet, in a backwater arm of a pretty small galaxy. The sooner we understand this and lose our belief that we are the most important beings in the universe the better. Not that I necessarily believe in aliens, but it's pretty certain that we're not the only thing going on around here (or there - it's all relative baby).

While on that sort of theme, where are the flying cars and dehydrated meals that my Dan Dare comics promised me? - frankly the future's turning out just as boring as the past (I'm sure it only seems more dangerous because we hear about more things & quicker)
