All Work & No Play...

...Would piss me right off frankly, So its no surprise that; save the rather fascinating wedding of my good friend Giles in Sweden, which was enjoyable but tiring; I haven't had a holiday since xmas, so it was good to have even 1 day off this weekend.

I am off properly for 10 days to Switzerland on the 8th, but this weekend was good proof that a change is indeed as good as a rest.


On Saturday I went to Cliveden for their annual openair Shakespeare performance.
There where however a couple of problems:
1) It was Jonathan Swift, rather than Shakespeare
2) It was pissing it down with rain
3) We didn't leave enough time for the hedge jumping

So ignore 1 & 2 as those are unfortunate errors of circumstance, unavoidable really.
However point 3 is of critical importance as this has become some what of a tradition amongst the 3 families involved or at least the younger generation thereof. So much so in fact I have set up the brand new Hedge Jumping Blog. This will be very infrequently updated with stories pictures and film of the event, written mainly by my far more creatively literate brother!

Did you call me a 'Gayer'? Oh 'Bender', thats fine

Yes it is true sometimes my personality is completely overun by my cartoon Robot other half, i become a drunken rude womanising psycopath. Yes i said 'become'!

Proof

[12:37] Del: uh oh. **** has just walked past. you know, the one I went on a date with. did I tell you about all that?
[12:37] Tobes : yes, hehe
[12:38] Del: and her mobile?
[12:38] Tobes : no?
[12:38] Del: apparently, according to *****, she renamed me in her phone to "Cunt". which implies i was a bastard to her, and I wasn't at all.
[12:39] Tobes : she loves you really
[12:39] Tobes : i mean she is a girl
[12:39] Del: but it also means she obviously liked me a lot more than i realised she did.
[12:39] Tobes : yes, now shes just bitter that you tossed her aside in search of better
[12:40] Del: well, yeah.
[12:40] Tobes : Offer to buy her a drink to make things up, and then just stand her up, cos it would be ashame to be thought of as a cunt without due cause
[12:41] Del: thanks Bender

Everywhere

If you have spoken to me recently you will know i think Hed Kandi is fucking great, especially now as they have a residency in Bristol every thursday, anyway im getting away from the original point which was an answer to the last post of mine and is as follows



and also



So there,
and if you want me to rub it in some more then get your self a login to Ministry of Sound (it's free of course) and get clickin' to here and watch the video

Note to self

Toby, you are an idiot.
this blog entry will remain here until you do something to change it.



I think that proves my point. Now get off your lazy ass and do something about it
IDIOT

You've gone too far

It always happens so I'll keep it brief(ish), a group of people think of an idea in music, then 1 guy has huge success and a load of stupid incompetent monkeys try and mimic it with no success because they are as their name would suggest, both "stupid" & "incompetent".

Good idea:
French house, specifically the Parisian bunch
e.g. Daft Punk
Dj Falcon
Le Knight Club
Alex Gopher
Etienne De Crecy
and anything vaguely related to Roule or Crydamoure records

Success story:
Eric Prydz/Big Bad Baz - Call on Me (neither of whom are French incidentally

The problem:
Groove Cutters - Close Our Eyes (remake of the Go West tune!)
Uniting Nations - Out of Touch (ok my fault cos I got them signed, sorry)
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart (Max Graham Remix), (Words cannot express....)

there will be more
and more
and more and more and more....

There are of course other good tunes other than call on me, but you're all missing the point as that was done AS A PISS TAKE!!
the secret of a good sample, is that its from a track that is good but UNKNOWN, which is why the real French stuff still works

But to everyone else, please stop now as its all going to end in tears.
