“The year in which a book is published is to some extent arbitrary – depending on such factors as the author’s birth date, their diligence towards deadlines, and publishing schedules”

Mark Lawson received money to write these words. Fuck you, Mark Lawson.

please help they’ve taken their guitar strings out of my brain

Hello, my name is Daisy Jessica. I am 31 years old (born 19/3/78) and live in Fiji. I am writing to tell you as I have no other option as you will understand, that particular artists that are featuring on your weekly top forty countdown, are song writing from my brain. They have used psychics to get into my brain to write and create albums. Some have pulled out whole lyrics, tunes, guitar strings and albums and so far as I am aware, they have neither contacted nor talked to me over this. This whole affair is having a very negative influence in my personal life and holding my life back. I cannot take any action on them because I have no money, have never traveled abroad or have people that I know of in the USA or Britain. While they win awards I am penniless so I cannot sue as I do not have any money.

This has been happening since my early university (in my early twenties) days while taking undergraduate studies. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree but not a job; live on pension on less than a thousand dollars a year.

I also understand that you know the artists that I have made a list of on a personal level, so please ask them if they know me. In addition please, I request you to e- mail me the e-mail addresses of the authorities of real names and people who can deal with the matter or submit this letter to them for investigation.

This type of song writing is illegal and unprofessional and I want to put a stop to it, as it is very unpleasant to have people reading your head twenty four hours a day for the song writing benefit of others. They have never credited or acknowledged me. I cannot wait the rest of my life in this kind of situation and I want the psyching to stop. Please help me.

Please ask them if they know me. Here is a list of those particular artists:

1. justin timberlake (future sex and love sounds)

2. nelly furta

3. timbaland

4. rihanna

5. Bionce Noels

6. siara (love sex and magic)

7. jonahs brothers (burning up)

8. pink

9. chris daughtry

10. hinder

11. 3 doors down

12. nickel back

13. linkin park

14. david .j. mathews (the fly)

15. one republic

16. enrique iglacias

17. kanye west

18. natasha bedingfield

19. jason mraz

20. metro station

21. cold play (viva la vida)

22. lil wayne and kevin Rudolph

23. pussy cat dolls

24. second hand serenade

25. plain white t’s

26. maroon 5

27. backstreet boys (inconsolable)

28. david archuleta

I have been suspended from Twitter despite committing NO CRIME, other than being retweeted by Simon out of Trev and Simon TWICE today. From such highs to such lows. He's also been suspended, which of us brought the other down, I wonder?

How The News Works Pt 8746

[info]nudejournal

Google News links to 21 articles about the fact that Jonathan Ross must now pre-record his Radio 2 show, because he made a joke suggesting that if you found out your child was gay you’d want to put them up for adoption. Which is interesting, considering that that never happened.

All the stories are quoting him as saying,

“If your son asks for a Hannah Montana MP3 player, you might want to already think about putting him down for adoption before he brings his … erm … partner home.”

What Ross actually said was,

“If your son asks for a Hannah Montana MP3 player, then you might want to already think about putting them down for adoption in later life when they settle down with their partner.”

Now, suggesting that wanting a Hannah Montana MP3 player makes you gay is, at absolute best, very lazy stereotyping & I’m not suggesting Ross is a saint in all this. But for fuck’s sake, did not one journalist sit down and listen to the show? To spell it out for any journalists reading: he’s saying you should put your son down to adopt a child when he is grown-up since he will not be able to produce babies with his male partner*.

Is it more ambigious than it sounds to me? Have a listen on the Youtubes and decide for yourself.

Props to this guy for pointing this out.

* Obviously he is wrong, it will soon be the future and babies will be grown inside radioactive space androids so anything will be possible!

topical bollocks because I haven’t written anything longer than 140 characters for months

If I was a pig, I would be this pig.

If I was a pig, I would be this pig.

I am going to take a sideways look at swine flu because it is highly topical, so buckle up, this is going to be a crazy ride.

That swine flu is bad, isn’t it! I mean, most people are nasty enough already without… Yes. Well.

I actually want to get swine flu, I’m pretty sure I could take it & I’d probably get a medal of bravery which I could then sell on eBay for cash money, thus beating the recession.

I don’t know why that Mexican footballer had to apologise for coughing on another footballer, swine flu is now a part of Mexican culture so that seems pretty racist to me. And I laughed when I read the story so it turns out it is quite a funny thing to do anyway!

Something about pigs flying if you have avian & swine flu at the same time.

I think I’ll put some of this into a sketch and submit it to Week Ending. That’s still on, right?

Because of being good at winning things this month, I've got a FREE ticket to http://www.londonwordfestival.com/?page_id=43#22 if anyone's interested. Well, I've got 2, but I want one of them.

"Sun 22 Mar
WEBSTOCK-Y
Idiot of Ants, Andy Zaltzman, Michael Legge, Andrew J Lederer, Luke Wright, Chris Hicks, Donal Coonan, Stuart Silver
+ Answer Me This Podcast (live)
+ Karen McCarthy’s My T-Shirt Says (installation)
+ I Should Draw More Blog (live)
+ Tim Key/Tom Basden short film screening

More Artists TBC

The geek shall inherit the earth. Taking in three performance and interactive spaces across the second floor of the Vibe Bar, a festival within a festival, Webstock is an homage to everything bloggy, webby and whatnot, celebrating and commiserating Web 2.0. Comedians, poets and artists will be fiddling with their digitalia. All day. Like drunk Facebooking. But without the repercussions.

Idiots of Ants slide off the Youtube screen into immaculately suited sketch-comedy absurdity; respected Cricket blogger and erstwhile award winning comedy writer and stand-up Andy Zaltzman does a turn. Get involved with Karen McCarthy’s found-poetry photo-installation My T-Shirt Says and enjoy live blogging from the online request-a-sketch of I Should Draw More. Whip-sharp Helen and Olly’s Answer Me This podcast will be recorded live. Channel 4 online broadcaster and public-sector-irritant Donal Coonan and Aisle 16ers Luke Wright and Chris Hicks join the bill with stand-up poetry for the discerning nerd. As do playful comic Stuart Silver, BAFTA winning web-writering stand-up Michael Legge and New York storytelling comedian, screenwriter and Chortle blogger Andrew J Lederer. Tim Key and Tom Basden will be in virtual attendance through the screening of their BAFTA nominated short The Amazing Hedge Puzzle, a divvy film about a cop, a robber and a maze. Matthew Crosby of Pappy’s Fun Club masters the ring, with his finger hovering over the reset button.
