So, new chunks of Veckitamitsawhoozle keep creeping out, this time a lovely new track by the name “While You Wait For The Others”. According to some sources it’s the new single, others state it’s just another track on tha ablum, but who really takes much notice of singles these days anyway? Ooh, back in my [...]

Arsenal 1 – Roma 0, Some Words From Song
Hi, I’m Alex Song. You may know me from other Arsenal matches such as Arsenal 0 – Sunderland 0 and Arsenal 4 – Tottenham Hotspur 4. In those games, I excelled myself with my lack of tackling and inability to pass the ball forward. And last night, whilst my team-mates had worked hard to get [...]

It’s Going To Be 0-0 Again
An extremely quick post as I’m about to run off to the Roma match. I’m sure another evening of hugely entertaining football awaits, with goals galore and the team being cheered off the pitch after another 5-0 battering. With an Eboue hat-trick. Or, probably not. In fact definitely not. I’m not looking forward to this [...]

The Reggae Pitchfork 500 – A&D to Williams
Talk about a change in tone. The last song on the list was Joy Division’s Disorder, and the next song is Althea and Donna’s “Uptown Top Ranking”. It’s a chirpy song, a cute little bit of sunshine following the misery of the preceding post-punk numbers, about dressing up and cruising round in the “Benz”. You [...]

Quick Sunday Update
Gah. I have a sore throat. Just what I needed after yesterday’s lovely weather and yesterday’s not so lovely draw against Sunderland. Quite a few of the world’s good Arsenal blogs haven’t updated today, probably because they are all still trying to calm themselves down, though the unlucky Tom over at Arseblog has some words [...]

Arsenal 0 – Sunderland 0 – Champions League, You’re Having A Laugh
It’s simply not good enough. We had a chance today to close some of the gap on Villa, after they lost to Chelsea at home. So what do we do? We balls around. We don’t take our chances. We pass backwards instead of counter-attacking. Then with ten minutes to go, we put Eboue on. Eboue. [...]

It’s A Beautiful Day To Boo Eboue
What an absolutely beautiful day. After one of the coldest winters in London for many years, and a winter where we saw proper snow for the first time in 18 years, you can only be delighted at such a gorgeous day. The sun’s getting higher in the sky, the birds are singing, and it’s proper [...]

Pitchfork 500 Post Punk Part 1 – PiL to Joy Division
So, in one of the Pitchfork 500′s regular swings of tone, we go from the heady joys of disco, to the first, unhappy* flowerings of post-punk. These bands took the template of punk and expanded it, exponentially, rather like the Inflationary period of the Big Bang. And to stretch the analogy to breaking point, like [...]

The Disco Pitchfork 500 – Summer to Gaye
Back the late 80′s and early 90′s, when acid house and its predecessor Balearic beats were starting to pulsate through nightclubs and warehouses up and down the country, there used to be a little club in Newcastle called Rockshots. It was primarily a gay club, but on Thursday nights it ran a kind-of straight night [...]
