They had the last dance, I had the last laugh

Ummmmmmmmm, yeah, so insanity board elections last night (monday 9th). Didn’t get the position i wanted, s left early – reulting in a barrage of txts telling me to come back because apparently i’m “despearately wanted” on the board. Oh well, they’re loss i guess. HOWEVER, on the professional front, work experience at Original 106.5 in Bristol is blooming into fruition, whilst i’m courting an agent with some new stand-up that me, Chris Pritchard & Rob Wallis are working on.

Radio show today (Tuesday) went very well, the fanbase continues to swell world wide; a lovely girl who i twitter with informed me that she downloaded the podcasts out of interest and found them “insanely entertaining”. I guess that’s as good a review as we’re likely to get on such a small scale. Keep listening kids. Links are on the about me to the RIGHT!

Need to write a short story. How does this sound as a premise: “Mr.Herb is a gardener who lives on a boat, tending to some aubergines who are seasick.” ?

At this moment in time i’m listening to Winterkids, who i actually haven’t listened to in absolute time, check them out here: http://www.myspace.com/winterkids . They’re a good indie/electro/pop band. I’m also trying to dig up the re-recordings of some songs i played synth on a few years ago, which should be an insididious giggle if they surface.

Lack of funds is depressing, so no poncho as of yet. However to save money (and get an iphone) i registered with LoveFilm.com. It is immense. I currently have ‘The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou’ sitting in front of me. Watched it last night, Wes Anderson on top form again.

Can’t wait for Lost tomorrow night, so i can watch it on thurs.

Wolf in Cheap Clothing

I cleaned my room whislt semi asleep yesterday afternoon. It’s so sparkly clean, i’ve likened it to climbing back into my mother’s womb and lingering around in all the placental and foetal gloop. Lovely ’tis

Red Drainpipes – CHECK
Poncho – NOT YET
Slim Fit Dinner Jacket – CHECK
Stupid Apparel/accesories – CHECK
Listen right, if you wear a pearl headband as an accesory round your neck, be prepared to back that sucker up with a neckerchief. It’s the done thing. I should be reading, but on here instead. Fuck James Hogg, although still better than Lame Austen (puns ahoy).

Hoepfully the whole farce with my scallywag of a camera shall be sorted by tuesday, SD card reader anyone…thanks amazon. I blame amazon soley for the death of the highstreet; but when the highstreet can sell me expensive stuff for pennies and farthings and whatnot, then and only then will i possibly cycle down and peruse le bargains au shop.

For those that care, saw YMA6 in bristol on friday – their best show that i’ve seen. Kudos to whoever designed their opening, absolutely insane, had the pre-pubescent ‘scene girls’ (do they still exist..?!) screaming their mouths off. Went for a smoke with Max after, chilling out in and around the tour bus – mentally big. Will catch up with them after 777 and prior to SXSW.

oh and Download the FOB mixtape by Clinton Sparks. It’s sick. Get Familiar.

PS. Also Kris Margetts RIP son, hadn’t seen you for ages, so if anybody is worthy of an innocuous mention in this post-script, it is most defianately YOU….

…and can mother earth make her mind up over the weather please.

Travelling without Moving

Basically i’ve decided on collating all my info and stuff into one blog, rather than split over several. This is also arises just as i’ve become addicted to twitter..which is little more than facebook stripped of everything but status changes. Superb fun.

Here’s the back log of the previous radio show blog posts:

Assholistic Acceptance Speech
11/02/09 – Ladies, Gentlemen, Esteemed members of the board, Tables, Chairs, this very Podium;

If nothing else is evident from me winning this awards, it’s that i deserve this! And although I would like to thank you all for this award, I am not Jesus Christ – I’m aware of that fact now. Furthermore my ego has suddenly swollen to such a degree that Philleaus Fogg could climb on in and circumnavigate the globe in it.

But, back to the matter at hand, Insanity is such an awesome assett to the uni and everyone who works there is a legend. Peace out A-Town

An effigy of apathy
– Hangovers have prevented updates since sat! However good news as it’s currently the ‘Best Newcomer to Insanity’ writing this pretty piece of prose! WOOP! Fully deserved naturally and we celebratd with crackers and cheese eaten on the back of a rabbit, lovely t’were. Sexy Sexton, Patters & Chris Boyd were in the studio for today’s wide ranging show; one could only refer to it as a revolution of a show, a che guevera figure in the world of radio waves.

I’m a Stray Dog Sick – Please let me in!
07/02/2009 – Societies ball tonight. I’m up for Best Newcomer and the show is up for Best Entertainment!! I should feel nervous…but when sobriety is so far away, visiting a relative in a foreign country, you can’t be really! We’ll see how it goes.

Need sleep.

We’re Carved In Stone, Then We Crumble
03/02/2009 – Welcome pilgrim. Been a while sinc ei scribbled on this here piece of scribbledy doop a sccop paper! Hope things are all well out in reality and what not. Things are looking good the show at the moment; I’m up for Best Newcomer and the show is up for Best Entertainment Show, so hopefully we’ll be sporting some honours this time next week!

Furthermore, a little more procrastination through the medium of a plug! Coming henceforth upon the day of 24th Feb make sure to tune into Insanity Radio between 1pm-3pm for the Tom Watts show ( why wouldn’t you anyway..?!) as YOU ME AT 6 & I HAUNT WIZARDS will be the studio. Yeah i know. I fucking rule.

Anyhow, hopefully y’all been keeping track with the podcasts and so keeping up with our expoits. Today’s show was roughly themed around school days so keep an eye out for that coming soon! Keep up the fanship loyal friends of the show

23/01/09 – Where the hell are Pat and Chris..? PUT DOWN YOUR SODDING HOMEWORK! RIGHT. Pat and Chris are apparently lost to the ages, hiding themselves away much like that place, Atlantis. Well actually they’re in lovely, lovely, possibly sunny Spain. So, to replace this two disgusting rebels I had in Sexy Tom Sexton, Hannah the Wanga (thanks anon email!) and once again that scandolous fella Panda Dave.

PUT DOWN YOUR SODDING HOMEWORK! Frigging ‘eck, if Panda Dave didn’t have apenchant for breaking rules before, he surrreeee do now. Well, holiday show. Lots of lovely stories and advice, ranging fom windsurfing over the horizon and getting swallowed up by jellyfish, to how not to get raped up the Choo-Choo by a lady-boy.

Oh yeah..CHINA – get out of Tibet!

13/01/09 – New Year? No Fear, Tom’s here!
WELL! Happy new year and yadda yadda to you all and what a pleasant one it’s been so far. It’s good to be back on the airwaves, even if certain key figures decide Geography work is more important than satirising reality for two solid hours!

There was a very melancoly feeling about the show this week, especially the first half an hour when it all went Robinson Crusoe on me bot-bot, terrible state of affairs it were….reeling out anecdotes to myself, cor blimey! What was i thinking? However, luring Panda Dave into the sexual cacophony of a radio show was a coup, even if he did procede to openly accuse Madge, Paris Hilton and lovely, lovely Jo Brand of starting a cult built around semen filled after eights. What a lovely chap!

T’were lovely to see Alex from The Dirty Chimes to stop by and plug the band, he seemed happy enough with his rider of clementines and soft middle-eastern porn (staple in a drummers life that is!) Even more surprising than the rest of the ridiculous babble above was Cap’n Mayhew dropping by – spreading her raisins of reason everywhere, whilst deluding herself she was ill rather than HUNGOVER. Despicable little drunk – we saw you being graffited on. HMPH
