World Cup fever today with the Turks honking their horns all around Green Lanes this morning, and the Koreans running about all over central London in a state of near hysteria! Where were they watching the match I wonder?
I'm guilty of neglecting this site again, but the World Cup has just taken over everything. Still, two days without football may give me the chance to do something.

Meanwhile, last week I went to see the very brilliant Brian Wilson at the Royal Festival Hall who was absolutely head and shoulders above most things I've ever seen and miles better than his televised jubilee performance. 'Cabinessence', 'Sail on Sailor', 'Surf's Up', 'Heroes and Villians' were all in the first part, and the second part was ALL of 'Pet Sounds', played exactly as it is on the record! Lots of the hits at the end too, and he left us with a lovely version of 'Love and Mercy' from his first solo album. I was expecting great things and he delivered.
Tomorrow, I am going to see another old favourite of mine - Television- who are playing David Bowie's Meltdown festival.
While I'm in retro mode I noticed a this bizarre story about Arthur Lee of Love, who has been honoured by some British MPs. After six years in jail I bet he thought it was odd too.
