Blue or Blur?

by 19 Comments

To save Black Celebration from having to do all the heavy lifting on the whimsical posting front, here’s me doing something exceptionally lazy and asking you to post mistaken identities, based on a comment in one of his many recent posts. E.G. I wanted to see Kate Nash, but it turned out to be Kate Bush. I was keen to hear the tuneful jazz rap stylings of OUi3, but ended up with stadium OAPs, U2. And I was so happy to have tickets to watch Dr and The Medics and Dr Hook, but was confronted with a double bill of the Saw Doctors and the Spin Doctors.

Speaking of whom, how long can we ‘spin’ this out for, eh readers?

Supergroup silliness

by 19 Comments

Franz Ferdinand and Sparks, The Last Shadow Puppets – are supergroups something to celebrate? Never mind that, let’s think of some new ones. Here’s one to get the ball rolling:

It’s a multi-generational, cross-genre supergroup, involving singers, bands – even an actor. Great line-up:

Frank Sinatra, Lee Hazelwood, Mighty Lemon Drops. A House, Ride and Owen Paul with Keifer Sutherland and managed by Tam Paton. Not sure about the name, though:

Frank Lee Mighty A Ride Owen Keifer Tam!
