Soda Blonde – Swimming Through The Night
Readers, behold the headliners of this weekend’s KnockanStockan festival.
Out of the ashes of Little Green Cars have arisen, Phoenix-like, Soda Blonde. Containing four of the same members, this is a wonderful way to kickstart the new project.
Singer Faye O’Rourke (top) is front and centre and produced the stylish dreamlike video (directed by Adam O’Regan) full of startling visuals. Midnight Tai chi anyone?
Nick says: Not drowning but waving.
This afternoon.
From Whelan’s general manager Dave Allen on Facebook:
‘The number of scammers ‘Selling’ tickets to tonight’s show in Whelan’s on the Facebook event is unreal.
Promoters when setting up the event, click the host approval button for people posting on the event.
Scammers are obviously trawling Facebook for events marked as sold out..
It would be helpful if Facebook added a report post option beside it as well as a delete or hide one.
This morning/afternoon.

UK Labour remainer and British Lord, Andrew Adonis addressing members of the Institute of International and European Affairs [IIEA].
In his address, Lord Adonis noted that Brexit represents a resurgence of English nationalism and an attempt to ‘finish the Thatcher revolution”.
And Blair did that already.

A new music video from animator Cyriak Harris, who’s taken a random bit of vintage footage (wherein an old man attempts to eat breakfast in the middle of the road), then run it through the nightmare-o-tron a few times, as is his wont.
Naturally, you’ll have seen his ‘Like And Subscribe’ video for Adam Buxton’s podcast.

On Wednesday with a family ticket to see the new The Lion King at your local ODEON on offer, we asked YOU to name your favourite scene in the original Disney classic.
You answered in packs of ten and smaller.
But there can be only one King.
Such is the nature of a monarchy.
Runners up
Theo Kretschmar Schuldorff: “The bit where ye’r man puts the CD cover in the other fella’s mouth and pours a load of crude oil down his gullet.”
Jeremy Kyle: “Not a scene from the film, but when I was a young lad in school we were allowed bring in films to watch on the last day before Christmas – I brought the in The Lion King on VHS and was told by my classmates that it was for babies. So we had to watch the Spice Girls film instead. Well, anyway that’s always felt like an injustice to me.”
Robert Kieman: “The best scene is when Simba flops on his belly and the dust that raises spells ‘SEX’’.”
Barry The Hatchet: “The most personally memorable scene in The Lion King is the one where Mufasa is trampled to death and Simba finds his body and tries to wake him up. That one still makes me well up when I think about it. Plus, it gave me a lifelong fear of being trampled by a crowd, which makes concerts and slow pavement walkers very stressful.”
Winner!

EvilRobotDanny: “The most personally memorable scene in The Lion King is, of course, a Timon and Pumbaa scene. The Hula song (above) that distracts the Hyenas. When I was a bairn I thought it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen and today I proudly stand by that assertion.”
Thanks all.
Wednesday: Form An Orderly Lion
