More of a red herring I'm afraid - the Doctor Who thing will have to wait, as I'm back off to London tomorrow, and lost most of the day today after my iBook caught a virus from an ad director (something my Aunt Hilda always warned me would happen).
In the meantime, head over to DIY Rockstar for a twinklingly cute/pleasingly whooshy remix of the Postal Service's "We Will Become Silhouettes'.
You know what? Love The Postal Service, never been that bothered about Death Cab For Cutie.
I KNOW!!! MADNESS!!!!!!!
Dog Update: no pants have been directly sighted. However, a number of unsupervised toilet breaks have been made, and he seems in good spirits, so it looks as though they may have passed through, sans commemoration.
And also just quickly, if you can work out how to do it, download all the Adam and Joe podcast things (AB's blog is here, and I think you can linky about until you find it), then listen to the seventh one - particularly the increasingly silly and incoherent football songs. I got the giggles really badly on the train, and thought I had it under control until the last one, at which point, reader, I slightly snotted myself.
I love the R. Kelly one as well! He has a brother called Tron!
ReplyDeleteThe ad people gave you a virus? Oohooo, it's just like Transmission!
ReplyDeleteAnd in time-honoured pedantic fashion, I think you'll find it's We Will Become Silhouettes. Very disturbing lyrics, had you noticed?
I like Ben Gibbard's solo stuff myself, but that's because I am a Pitchfork-reading pretentiouser-than-thou indie grup twat.
Song title amended, ta.
ReplyDeleteSleep now.
I touched Adam once.
ReplyDeleteYou just go to xfm.com and they're all there to download, with or without iTunes.
ReplyDeleteBloody Hell! Fat kids, global warming and now your iBook - is there no ill advertising isn't scapegoated for?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, you will see that Victoria Pile has made it into the Guardian Media Top 100 and it says there that she has 'a formidable reputation for recognising talent'. That's you, that is. I think you should blame advertising her appearance.
I want them to bring out a commemorative set of Top Trumps.

ReplyDeleteDo you think you should go to the Doctor, there may be a nostril strengthing excercise you could do, so as to avoid this terrible affliction in the future.
I was going to do an Adam and Joe style GW with my daughter's sylvanian families as my radiologist other half brought home a model CT scanner. I think Alan would be a badger but haven't got any further
ReplyDeleteBy the way snotting yourself on the train is an excellent way to spread viruses.
crashed by celery?
ReplyDeleteRealdoc: that would be truly wonderful. Do it, do it, do it.
ReplyDeleteJames: I always knew you widdled all over that Bronte tart when it came to writing. "Reader, I slightly snotted myself" proves it beyond doubt.
Bet you'd beat her at arm-wrestling, too.
Had to leave another comment purely on the strength of the new word verification on offer:

Minor character in the Moomins books? Finnish laminate flooring company? The noise you make when you are pounced on by a lion in the middle of eating a nice bowl of rice pudding?
I'm going to London for the first time ever next Wednesday. Guess what I'm doing?
ReplyDeleteI'm only doing the BBC Proms. I'm quite excited. I'm in Prom 20 with the National Youth Choir of Scotland. July 29th. Watch me. :-)
hey Realdoc,
ReplyDeleteI have a Playmobile operating theatre!
And sylvanians.
And a barbie campervan.
Erm in the attic
*cough*
We could make an entire episode between us.
buttons because her dad is a radiologist my daughter has already a whole sylvanian xray dept. I'm ready as soon as James will write me a script
