Turbowolf make me so very happy in so very many ways. I think I'll invent the term 'Groin-Rock' to describe them.
We're livin' in a playland baby!

I am a very happy bunny today for I am wearing my Turbowolf t-shirt. Here it is:

NFR 6th June Setlist and BBC 6 Mix Result>>>
I had a lot of fun during the week with the voting for the BBC 6 Mix Virtual Tour competition that we're in. Thanks to everyone that voted and gave their support, there was so much of it, I really couldn't believe it all. Quite overwhelming. Thank you – I love you all! The voting got pretty insane. Crazy even, and there were loads of great comments on the BBC site. Thank you all!
Oh how I enjoyed the irony of the BBC cutting The Flesh Happening from my set when we're up against a pair of DJ's called Ban This Filth.
They announced the winner of our round tonight. Who do you think won it?
Well come on, how could NFR have possibly lost? Yup, we did it, Not For Resale into the final of the competition. Not sure what happens next, whether we have to do another mix or if they play a bit of the previous set. Would be good to get some more stuff out there but we'll see. I'll let you know what's happening when I do.
Thanks again to everyone for voting and I look forward to your support in the final.
You can stream the set again from the site if you want to hear it, or download it here if you don't want BBC trails, the news and my voice getting in the way of everything. Plus, this version includes The Cleft Palettes, Surkin and Flesh Happening tracks the BBC cruelly excised from the final cut: NFR 6 Mix.mp3
Also, here's the NFR bit.......Wow, what a great night we had this week. To everyone that was there at Fitzherbert's; thanks for coming, hope to see you again and I hope you enjoyed yourselves! Saw a few pale faces during Bone Awl that lit up straight after when Holy Fuck kicked in. That's the point of what we do – throw you for a loop and have you enjoy it all whilst introducing you to stuff you might never otherwise hear.
Here's what we played on Wednesday. No one anywhere can top a set like this:

Keep your friends close, but the NME closer
I'd like to chuck my titfer into the ring with regards to the NME and the offence it seems to have caused my fellow scribe. Now first of all, the NME has always, always been just one step up from shit tickets. It hasn't needed to dig itself into any kind of black hole, it has always lurked somewhere beneath the lowest rung of the journalistic ladder (the very same ladder that up which we tappy-tap-tappers all aspire to shimmy)
My point is this: If, in their severely restricted wisdom, the editorial weasels (a business of weasels i believe is the correct collective noun) behind the inky rag wish to cover the front page with a bit of flesh then mores the better. Granted, the Ditto-potamus isn't one to make my jeans creak; i wouldn't touch her with kens, but at least she's up for cracking them out. Let's hope this is the NME setting their stall out. Let's hope they've seen the error of their ways and from now on we'll see them negate the opinionated drivel and opt for a decisive movement towards smut; good old fasioned prostitution, instead of the covert, industry driven lip service that has all but swallowed up the burgeoning UK music scene. Maybe one day, and this is a big shout, one day the NME will be reduced to basic service journalism: a huge picture of some fitty from a shit band with her feeders swinging on one page, and the other with a running tally of which bands have had the most money chucked at them by hand wringing A&R departments and shadowy record executives.
Just a thought.
