THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS.

Chris Evans | 10:32 UK time, Monday, 27 October 2008

Went to see the young scallywags...

...last night.

What an extraordinary amount of talent there was on the stage. So, blimin' young, so competent and so ridiculously but rightly... confident. Like super confident, like The Beatles at the the same age (21/22) but four or five albums down the line. Their voices, spookily similar, it was easy to lose track who was actually singing what and when, were effortless in their power. I always believe this is a signature of greatness. It's the energy of talent, Dylan used to have it in spades.

Went for a pee though, just over half way through and made the fatal error of passing the bar before I did so. "I'll make a bit of room," I thought, " and then grab another beer," after all I was witnessing some up to the moment real rock and roll. Room was made but upon my exit from the loo I was devastated to find the bar had been close during the last two minutes.

D'oh, d'oh, d'oh, d'oh. d'oh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had so set my mind on one last weekend beery treat I pathetically focused on it for the rest of the set, eventually "forcing" myself to go to the after show, where the aforementioned bar had resumed serving.

Again, I felt the need to empty before filling, the bar had only just re-opened so I knew this time I could take a leak safe in the knowledge there would be a refreshing prize at the end of it. I exited the loos for a second time, the bar was indeed still open but during my most recent call of nature... it appeared the whole of the Hammersmith Apollo had gained access to the after show and the bar was now, minimum, fifteen deep.

I reluctantly joined the throng and I think I finally did get a pint. It was all so distressing I can barely remember.

Was it all worth it ? To see those young geniuses at work, very much so.

CLP.

    Morning Lambie Pies

    Grand to see an early blog and to read your words of wisdom.

    Beer! Ahhhhh. Took my last anti-biotic last night so will indulge myself in a nice cold bottle of organic cider tonight. can't wait!

    Maybe that's one for the show .... is it alright to drink alcyhool on anti-biotics? Or is it an urban myth that bad things will become of anyone who indulges whilst still taking the tablets ??

    Over to you, you gawjus lump of geniusness!

    And on the subject of beer at gigs ....

    I hate going to Wembley to see bands as they only do lager and a certain brand of Oirish Coider which is bright orange and tastes like chemicals!

    Why no good decent ale??? Or Liffey Water?

    Actually, come to think of it, this goes for many venues.

    Venues of the world ..... Real Ale please!

    (and not that smooth flow cack either!!)

    Thanks.

    This is all a bit traumatic. I just popped into see what was going on to find a) the blogpage has changed - ghaaa! b) CLP has already posted (what's going on?) and he's written an entire blog about a band I've never heard of.

    Off back under me stone.

    Whatta eventful weekend it's been for me. A didn't know 'ow a waz gonna get through the weekend!!
    In fact a thought the only way am gonna get through it iz ake an overdose!
    But then a realised if a did then I wouldn't get through the weekend... i'd ave ter go and buy some more which wouldn't be good as the shop was shut!!!!
    So instead of overdosing ter 6 'eaped teaspoons a stuck ter me usual 3 of me 'ot chocolate!!@!

    Then Saturdee a spent the dee driving an 6 month old Eddie Stobart rig. Top of the range Scania - beautiful drive....
    After a goot me mind inter gear on 'ow ter get the damn new auto gears inter gear.... it took me mind of things - works for me all!!!!
    A went up north, listening ter Dermot on R2, through all the terrible weather in Cumbria... a waz wrockin' up Shap.... wrockin from side terrrr side... In fact a waz down ter 37mph in places all just in case a blew, just in case!!!!>!
    One big gust and yer on yer side!!!
    But coming back south a waz ok. I 'ad a full load on.... 24 tonnes on me rig thus taking me gross ter 40 - never blow over when fully loaded!!!!!
    And what waz me load yer might ask..... 59,204 tins of 'ienz Baked Beans.... 100% true all.... 100% true!!!!!!
    That must mean a 'ad over a million beans on me rig.... just glad a didn't ave a blow out!!!!!!@!!!

    PS Glad all the Cumbria runners made it through their 'appy day out in the 'ills of the beautiful tranquil lakes!!!!

    But the biggest moment of enlightenmentation came on Sundee when I 'eard Geraldine McQueen 'ad reached # 10 in the poppadooodle do poptastically tastic groove charts!!!!!!!
    It's the line she signs "A started with nothing, now a ave something".... it made me realise 'motionally deep inside, very deep inside..... if you keep trying.... then one day, one day... YOU will get YOUR dream...... Geraldine... thank you, thank you!!!!!!!

    PS A notice too, Geraldine, she's gotta a glint in 'eye... wonder if she might be single????
    Forget Nelly Furatado, Fergie (the american one), Claudia Winkleman, Winklemen, Winkleman (can't remember), Duffy and Beyonce..... Geraldine iz my type of woman!!!!!!
    Ave never been on a date with a top celebrity before..... mind you a bet she's noot interested as the fame's probally gone ter 'er 'ead already... always does once they make it big!!!!!!!!

    Tatty bye all..... tatty bye Geraldine!!!!!

    BM, tyre schmyre, we have to buy a "new" car today - long story, quite boring, but the insurance has just come through. We are having to supplement it with wedding money, boo. So Boleynman is off round the garages at the moment to find out what's around.

    SBP - outfit sounds good, does MrBP look like Johnny Depp?

    CtD, boleynman a big fan of real ale, to me it tastes of treacle.

    I LOVE the Last Shadow Puppets but when they toured recently, they only played about 4 gigs and none of them were close to my neck of the woods. Boo.

    Hope everyone had good weekends. We were treated to an impromptu visit from Mr P's bruvva, his missus and their 2/12 year old gorgeous terror, Stanley.

    A lovely surprise.

    How is everyone on this crisp, autumnal day?

    Had a lot of beer myself this weekend too when my lovely big sister visited. Good fun had by all and we watched the 'other country men' film thingey - very good.

    BTW, CtD - yes, urban myth. There is only ONE antibiotic you can't drink on and you know which one that is because if you do drink you will be violently sick with it. All others you are able to imbibe to your heart's content. (drink sensibly campaign notification here please).

    Hey Bingo, I must admit that was a bit of a connecting moment.

    My musical credentials? Fully paid up Batchelor of Music (BMusHons) Sheffield. Grade 8 Clarinet, 6 Classical guitar, 5 piano, PGCE. Now teach daft songs to kids.
    Learning to dance, 2, 3, chachacha.

    boleyngirl - Mr P just bought a piano and I was thinking of taking lessons - obviously, I would have to start at the very beginning. Do you think it would be a good idea?

  • Comment number 15.

    Rosie, absolutely. I think it's really good to learn new skills and give yourself a bit of a challenge, hence the dancing (always said I had 2 left feet). Go on. give it a try. You can accompany Bingo on his big hit!

    Thanks boleyngirl, I'll look into it x

  • Comment number 17.

    Oh and Bingo, my catchphrase is "I know a song about that", which of course my family find infinitely hilarious (not always).

    But I do know songs about all kinds of things, comes of being a musical primary school teacher.

    Right, have been summoned to inspect the best of the old bangers.

  • Comment number 18.

    AH HA here you all are :-))

    Would love to have seen Oasis last night. I don't know the Last Shadow Puppets either - maybe CLP will give us a little blast of them on the show tonight???

    I agree re learning new stuff, go for it Rosie.

    Cheryl, how did the allotment AGM go - or is that next weekend??

    I went to the local horticultural show on Sat - if I hadn't eaten them all my potatoes would deffo have won (she says modestly!!), there's a Rosette with my name on it in 2009, watch this space!!

  • Comment number 19.

    Boleyngirl - My goodness..... it's a wonder yer noot Oasis's lead guitarr player and keyboardist all at the same time!!!!!!

    It's makes me realise 'ow noot very good at music I am!!!!!
    I 'ated music lessons at school (went ter a bad school) always thought a semi- quaver wazza Walkers Quaver that's broken in 'alf!!!!!!

    It's only when a goot ter 32 and a mid life crisis that a knew I 'ad ter pick up a guitarr as sometimes yer can feel music running through yer veins.... know what am sayin'!!!!!

    JenEwan - Am ok, thanks!!
    Am used ter pain. But the important thing iz ave goot ter pick the right one. Mind you I thought a did.. why are people so complicated??@?
    Me and Inna got on so well, in fact we've never argued or actually officially split up. She wants a good father for 'er son and a good 'usband for 'er. 'er son really took to me - in fact Inna said she waz really suprised 'ow much 'e liked me. But she's been badly treated by 'er former partners so finds it 'ard ter trust men.
    So a think that's why she's sort of scared of opening up to me/ coming to England... So fate blocks my 'appiness again!!!!
    It's 'er son I think I feel sorry for, lovely little boy and needs a father figure... but adults always are good at messing up life... more than kids - know what am tryin ter say ere!!!!!!

    Chow!

  • Comment number 20.

    Boleyngirl - do you do that song about a mouse in a windmill in old amsterdam? I used to love that song at primary school!

    super_bagpuss: he's deffo a dead-ringer for Mr Claypole! Trust me. i'm 40.

    Tinsel - the allotment thingy is this Friday - Hallowe'en!! Prize giving for Allotment Of the Year and a "light tea" will be provided! We reckon that'll be a couple of manky sarnies from the corner shop's "reduced to clear" fridge and a packet of ready salted! Quite a few allottmenteers are boycotting it because the prizes are being dished out by our local MP. I don't agree with him getting involved but persuaded Mr Diva we should go for the sense of community more than anything else. Our village has got quite a bad rep so it's nice that the Parish Council are actually making an effort for the good of the community for once. We can also whinge to Mr MP about the state of the allotment car parkign area - potholes like Gorges! Not good in a Micra.

  • Comment number 22.

    Bingo - I'm really sorry to hear this. The old scottish saying of 'what's for you, 'll no go by you' is true. Hang in there. If you can, please keep in touch with Inna and Son and let your friendship blossom. Maybe time will tell out and she'll learn to trust again.

    It must be huge for her to contemplate trusting again AND moving to a strange land, uprooting her son in the process. Give her space, hold her hand from a distance and be good to yourself too.

    You're a lovely chap and you will find happiness, I know you will. Just try not to chase it so hard.

    Best of luck

    Morning/Afternoon everyone,

    Hope you all had a good weekend. Less said about Monday the better. We put our clocks back next weekend, I think. So we are now only 4 hours apart.

    Some good football games on this last weekend. Harry to Spurs, now I didn't see that coming. Those poor assistant managers at Portsmouth, they all looked shell shocked. Can't say I blame them. Will be interesting if Harry really makes a difference or not.....

    Hi CtD, Good win for the Gooners although they did leave it rather late. What do you think of Harry now in charge of Pomey? I see there's a full schedule of games on Wednesday and your playing Spurs....hmmmmm could be interesting to see if Sunday's game was a one off...... I was surprised Harry departure from Portsmouth and start at Spurs all happened so quickly..... Any guesses on who will be the new Pomey manager?

  • Comment number 32.

    "There's only One Adebayor ... There's only One Adebayor .... "

    What a difference an Emmanuel makes eh Bond(age)?

    I thought it was heading for 0-0 to be honest. Could have done with Liverpool and Chelski drawing too. Ne'er mind!

    Harry at the Spurs. Well, what a turn up for the books. Apparently Big Sam's in the frame for Pompey, as is Curbs. Just so long as it's not Tony Adams. We wouldn't mind him back at The Emirates!

    Work. Dull. Need. Some. Fun.

    Cheryl xxxx

  • Comment number 33.

    CtD, he certainly was the difference maker.

    I think Big Sam deserves the chance at pompey. He was so very badly treated at Newcastle and is a good manager. Curbs.....not sure about him. Tony Adams and Joe Jordon just looked like fishes out of water....

    I have nothing but respect for Tony Adams. He got himself into trouble but has moved on and turned his life around. Plus he was a top notch player....

    I loved every time the thug Barton touched the ball on Saturday that he was booed. I wonder if there were any Newcastle fans that booed....

    How was the weekend for you all? Just thought i'd let you know my friends have bullied me into going to my own fancy dress party as a giant ketchup bottle! complete with cone shaped head gear (like the proper cafe ketchup squeezers) ... they say it's perfect due to the fact i have been known to carry a ketchup bottle with me just in case the place i'm off to doesn't have any. that would be horrible!!

    Also... i have a question... there about 4 million and 63 mr evans groups on FB ... not a clue which one to join so i can find you lot!!

    Called the talking clock to synchonise the time keeping devices here at work - expecting the reasuring dulcet tones of Accurist man - and got californian, beachbabe, disney-fied Tinkerbell!!

  • Comment number 82.

    Scott / X-Factor ... I think he chose the wrong song. George Michael only writes songs for George Michael to perform. Nobody can do his songs justice (and no, I'm not a GM mega fan).

    Also, doing ballads - you're so open to scrutiny. I think something uplifting is better as you can perform and get the audience going.

    Strictly .... right decision. As gawjus as Fozzy is, he's like a plank of wood on the dancefloor. I like Christina off The One Show. She's always so Happy Happy Happy!

    Love Brucie too.

    I'm a GM mega fan (just in case you didn't know lol)

    Strictly - they definately got it right. But poor Andrew Castle is so much taller than Olga it must be awkward for him.

    And Brucie is a legend.

    Not too sure about Mark Foster's body. I find his boobs quite odd. Like really odd.

    I agree Christina is absolutely lovely. And she looks very genuine too. But I still want John S to win.

    But Brucie ... I just want him to go away. Sorry. He is sooooo annoying.

    Well we can't agree all the time!!!

    Tinsel - Love Kings Of Leon - Been meaning ter write a FULL blog commentation about them... brill new band!!!!!

    B's Mum - When The Jenkins saw me... she looked a little nervious.... like maybe I wazza MAD stalker..... but she didn't realise it waz only CLP, Wrightie and all of their show teams 'id come ter stalk, in the nicest possible way of course - know what am sayin'!!!!!

    Must admit though it did crooss me mind what if i'd goot chatting ter 'er and ended up dating one of the uk's TOP singers... not that i'd wanter date 'er just 'cos she's who she is (the famous bit).... would wanter date 'er 'cos she's very beautiful - noot that that's a good reason on it's own anyway.
    Noot that she'd like me anyway..... and she's probally married or attached... romantically..... and a don't know 'er astrological crudentials.... so it probally wouldn't work even if she waz single!!!!!

    'ope this elps... B's Mum!!!!

    Das veedanya again!!!!!

    Hands up Jen - I blocked you.

    I thought it may be someone else and after the abuse I received on here recently, just wanted to sever all ties.

    I'll see if I can unblock you now. Please accept my apologies.
