55. The age at which Bruce Wayne fakes his own death.

On that note of reflection, we turn to Morning Claws, a group formed from the ashes of a band called Cutaways – and also containing elements of another band called Before Machines.

This is a track called ‘Slack Magic’ – it’s a single and you can buy it from their bandcamp – it’s also the catchiest thing I have heard from anyone in years.

So there I was in my local coffee shop, trying to psyche myself up to ask one of the baristas if she would like to go to the And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead (only thing more annoying than having to type that name is having to say it) gig with me. Problem was, I wasn’t sure if Will had set up a date for me or not. Things haven’t been the same between us since I pawned his DV cam to buy myself a ticket to see Rob Zombie. I have since learned that DV cams are worth quite a bit more than the £33 I got for it and I had to sell my body to medical science – after trying unsuccessfully to sell it on the streets – to get the bloody thing back. I’m glad I did though. Frankly I had grown tired of checking Cara Cowan’s MySpace page every day and finding no updates, so the new In Stores Now featuring The Salt Flats provided some much needed new… material.

[Editor's Note: It is truly amazing what Ian can get away with saying about people he could so easily bump in to, safe in the knowledge that no one reads this shit.]

Thank you one and all to members of the GoodWill Facebook group and the citizens of Northern Ireland who so generously threw a fundraiser for Bandwidth last night at Auntie Annies in Belfast, to help me back on my feet after I was robbed a few weeks ago.

It’s such a testament to this amazing country, the amazing city of Belfast and its music community – and it will be an honour to be back working with you all in the cause of creating beauty for the love of music.

Thanks to Rachel Austin, Colly Strings, Prolapse and The Snoodles for playing. Thank you everyone for coming and donating at the door. And thank you everyone, some of whom were also there last night, who gave again via Facebook. For some great photos of the night check out Colm Laverty’s blog, from whence this video sprang.

Thank you.
