footy tonight

strange game – the tall ships started filling up just as liverpool started – its was a half and half crowd – there were a number of occasions where i dont think anybody had a clue what was going to happen next

a friend asked why i was supporting chelsea and not liverpool – a good friend was in the bar and is a pool supporter – but as a man u fan and 2 english teams in the same game it wasnt a hard decision

to be honest though when it was about 5-4? (i could be wrong on the actual score but it was about 8 mins to go) on aggregate and liverpool had a chance of nicking it i turned round and said i dont care because it was a great game to watch

if we get a 4-4 same score in porto tomorrow i doubt i’ll have any fingers nails left but we wouldve won… if not blog might be quiet for a few days…..

wtf is going on ?

andy taylor

went to meet up with andy taylor at henry’s sonic vista studios in ibiza yesterday evening where he’s recording his new album. we were talking for about half an hour when he said do you fancy a beer and then we can listen to some of the new stuff “sounds good to me”…

so we decamped to the nearest bar and chewed the fat about everything from politics, the g20 protester who was killed to the music biz – a very enjoyable couple of hours then it was back to the studio where henry sat in front of mission control and started playing some of the stuff andy’s already recorded, mixing it as the tracks were playing – very guitar, loud and really good.

it got late so we offered him a lift home as he lives not far from the flat – fuck me – what a pad – how the other half lives etc….. cant remember how long we spent there but after meeting up early evening got home about 3am – top bloke

he’s playing at vaughans 50th birthday bash at las dalias tomorrow so looking forward to that – tonight though is inter-pub pool competition at the newly reopened queen vic, then nassau beach club opening in bossa then probably a beer in the rock bar – cant see myself going to vaughans do in the funky room at pacha though
