I enjoyed this post by rhodri about an evening of watching bands:

Underdog were as mundane as their ludicrous press photo suggests, with a series of plodding, semi-anthemic numbers which merged into a tedious, predictable whole. The stage was tiny, and the singer looked frustrated at not being able to walk about. So he looked at the drummer. The drummer looked back at him. The singer turned around and looked at us. It was that kind of gig.

Trust me, go read it. I think it may be wise. Also contains the great band name "Being 747".

Also, his article for The Independent about Robert Chalmers's attempt to stir up interest in his second novel by traveling to the town of Otley and giving away a thousand copies of it to passersby.

I think naming yourself after a plane makes it too easy for the critics: "Boeing 747 crashed and burned in tonight's concert."

Possibly true, but that's not the name of the band.

I blame the liberal media.
