Catching up...

Wickerman · August 03, 2010, 11:53:01 AM

Hello everyone. I used to get on here quite a lot, particularly on the old (or even older than that?) forum, but don't get so much time to visit these days - even though I'm still avidly following Frost* and the blog. So I thought I'd sign in today and find out what everyone's up to. It turns out, however, that there have been MANY threads and lots of news whilst I've had my head stuck in the world of Doctor Who!

So short of employing a secretary to sift through it all and make me a sensible and organised bullet-pointed list, I thought I'd start a thread and invite people to update it with any projects they're working on / personal news etc. It doesn't even need to be music-related, although I know there are a lot of musicians on here. It could be about tea and biscuits...

I'm rather smitten with Amy Pond.

I'm supposed to be going to Summers End with Bert in October but all the excitement and anticipation have proved too much for him and he's now in hospital. (Please get well soon, Bert!)

Dec's released a cracking new album (available from www.decburke.com), and is playing at the Cambridge Rock Festival - with band! - on Friday 6th August.

How long have you been away?

Philadelphia and I (who met and started dating at the Frost* Xmas gig in 2008) have just moved to London (within walking distance of The Peel!)

This is A Good Thing.

LOL

Seriously jealous of the lack of clutter...unless it IS really like our place and, like a sliding-tile puzzle, you had to shove mountains of crap from room to room to clear the one you were taking a picture of!

According to the Times, Benedict Cumberbatch has signed up to be Dr Who in 2011. This is a GOOD thing.

It's not quite like that - but there are two big closets full of boxes which will probably never be unpacked... And bear in mind that we haven't really lived here yet, it's very early days!

Cool, am really liking 'Sherlock' which I remarked t'other day has some Dr Who'isms about it (then I realised that Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss were involved so that kind of answered that).

Come, Gonz- that's hardly news now, is it?

Besides, every right-thinking male is rather smitten with Ms Pond. And I think rightly as rather a lot where she's concerned.

Erm...

Frost* released the best live album I've ever heard. And that's not just fanboy talk either. It really is astoundingly good. This is GOOD.
I've joined a band that isn't remotely prog. Yet. This, despite appearances, is good.
Our local Co-op has run out of Fox's Crunch Creams. This is bad.
