Born To Be Wide

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

During this weeks podcast I incoherently rambled on about an event that I had very few details for. Well, here are some details…

The event is called ‘Buy What You Hear’, is a collaboration between Born to Be Wide and Oxfam Music, is taking place at the Voodoo Rooms Speakeasy, from 9pm-1am on Thursday 5th of October (Ed: I think it’s November(Ed.ed.yes, ok it’s in the future, not the past), and is free to get in.

Here is a link to their Myspace and here is a link to the Voodoo Rooms page.

Also if you are remotely famous, or know someone remotely famous who wants to get involved/in touch… drop us a line and I will pass it on to Jamie.

Now it has a facbook event page -check it out here..http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=187198868372

Liz and Gordon

p.s. Gordon would like to apologise for incessant steam-rollering, saying ‘wicked’, ‘you know’ and ‘devil’s contract’ a lot, and pouring liquids near the microphone.

P.p.s Liz promises to drink less, make fewer crude remarks about famous people she likes, and to maybe get a pointy stick to squeeze a few more words in edgeways..

p.p.p.s. It was Laura Cantrell, the singer, I mean.

Just got home from recording episode 1 of The Blether Report. Despite the slightly hairy moment when the computer crashed, fun times were had by all. I feel sort of like I did when I was a child recording radio shows on my little tape player with a hole for a mic (though there is less of me singing Disney songs on this one). It was always really embaressing finding those tapes age 13 when you were looking for something wicked cool to play in the car. Maybe I’ll feel like that about these podcasts one day.

Yeah! ROCK! Then this post will be deleted.

(on second thought… what would be the point in that?)
