Steve Buscemi Battles The Pink Robots

A convenient front for a smuggling operation

“I just don’t want my arms to feel like a couple of fortnights in a bad balloon.” Chris Morris trolls drug dealers years before trolling was actually a thing.

Pic from last night’s EP launch :D We had enough people come through the door to cover the cost of making the ep, cover the cost of putting on the show and actually pay the soundie/other bands (which, after being on the other end of “Sorry Steve, we ended up losing money so nobody is getting paid” so many times, felt particularly gratifying). I declare this a victory for awkward-looking people who play awkward music in non-capital cities.

Toilet-propaganda for the last month of Made Creative Space. I am playing at both of these gigs. EDIT: Jeremy Conaghan plays a buttload of instruments and is more or less my right-hand man and the chief Superfriend. Think of him as Mick Harvey to my Nick Cave. Brooke Mowett is a part-time Superfriend but is also one of the best singer-songwriters this town has ever produced. Think of her as PJ Harvey to my- you know what? Just think of her as PJ Harvey. Ben Bermudez (real name Ben Tupas) is a singer-songwriter/film-maker/graphic design and kitchen wizard as well as a part-time Superfriend. I’m incredibly grateful that I have a whole bunch of crazy-talented friends who believe in my songs enough to deal with my bullshit. These shows (where I go from being the leader to the follower) are a great chance for me to return the favour and hopefully also a great night for an audience (Made crowds are among the best, I’ll miss the crap out of that place once it becomes office space).

My brother, Michael, would have been 28 today. The 22nd of May will probably always kick my ass emotionally, I’ll honestly fear for myself the day it stops being difficult, as if it means I’ve stopped caring. I’ll always imagine what he’d be doing now and what kind of life he’d be living if he were still here. I still weep for the future he and his girlfriend will never have. I’m slowly getting my head around the fact that I’m not an island. Cutting myself off from people gets me nowhere. It doesn’t make the pain go away, but neither does pushing it down into some deep, dark place, putting on your fake smile and just getting on with it like nothing happened. Everyone is dying, maybe it’s time to live.

sadunitedfans: These Manchester United fans were sad, not just because their team lost the Premier League title to rivals Manchester City, but also because they had to take refuge in a doorway when they stumbled across the Manchester City victory parade.  Lose League Cup to Liverpool. HAHABUTWE’LLWINTHELEAGUE Get knocked out of FA Cup by Liverpool. HAHABUTWE’LLWINTHELEAGUE Get knocked out of Europe’s second-tier competition by the tenth best team in La Liga. HAHABUTWE’LLWINTHELEAGUE Choke in spectacular fashion, gifting the league to your “noisy neighbours”. UMMI’MABEQUIETNOWMAYBE

bigbenjo: villa-kulla: Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made? And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing? Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question? The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning. Nice one, ScarJo. Because you’re not allowed to ask RoDowJu what it feels like to get oodles of cash/kudos to portray a slightly amplified version of himself but sometimes dressed as Iron Man.

Most of this album was kind of meh, but this is perfection.

It&#8217;s finally here. A whole bunch of amazing people poured their heart and souls into making my words and melodies a thing you can hold in your hands and marvel at while a bit of it is in your cd player. Thanks a lot, awesome people.
