Idle nonsense

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #11 - The Lonely Hearts Club Band... or The Only Darts Club Band

And they all look rather cool with the moustaches… or maybe the silly costumes are just distracting… During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate cancer – come sponsor me over here.

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #10 – John Oates

Really – that’s not a moustache… that’s been raised from an egg and trained to sit on his top lip. Shocked to discover from a Google image search that Mr Oates appears to have got rid of his ‘tache… that strikes me as being as silly as Lemmy shaving his off in the 90s! No [...]

 
You like the shoes I wear: Dean Wareham (again)

Dean Wareham Plays Galaxie 500 – 8originally uploaded by Araakii Long, long time since I gave this series a kick but Dean’s shiny shoes with yellow laces as worn at the Crocodile Cafe in Seattle last weekend deserve getting shown off – particularly as this lovely picture by Araakii shows them off so beautifully.

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #9 – John Waters

Actually this is just a silly moustache really – less of a moustache and more of a bit of highlighting added to the top lip – fairly certain I couldn’t actually do this… I wonder if he has a barber do it for him? During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate [...]

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #8 – 3/4 of Black Sabbath

Mostly this is for Tony Iommi because along with Lemmy his was the rock and roll moustache that came into my head as soon as I decided to do this… but Bill and Geezer looking good too. Not wanting to celebrate the clean shaven this month but doesn’t Ozzy look gorgeous in this photo? During [...]

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #7 – Groucho

During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate cancer – come sponsor me over here. So… it was painted on and some might consider that cheating… During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate cancer – come sponsor me over here.

 
I love living in the future: Lemmy's lost almost solo album

You might have noticed me mention Motorhead once or twice on this blog… so you might think that I was a bit of a fan. From 1979 when I first heard Overkill until 1984 when they released No Remorse (a compilation with four substandard new tracks on it) I listened to precious little else. I [...]

 

There is a reason I am what I am… and the works of Eric Bogle interpreted by 80s folk/punk/rock bands is a part of that… The Pogues – And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda – there’s a great live version here. The Men They Couldn’t Hang – The Green Fields of France – there’s a [...]

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #6 Dick Strawbridge

Oh to have a soup-strainer like the marvellous Dick Strawbridge… he claims to have “the best moustache in showbiz” and seriously, who could argue with that? During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate cancer – come sponsor me over here.

 
Movember 2010: Favourite moustaches #5 Cab Calloway

During November I’m growing a ‘tache to raise money for prostate cancer – come sponsor me over here. Never, ever get tired of watching Cab do Minnie the Moocher – he was great doing it in the 30s and still great doing it in the 80s… he was great as a man and great as [...]
