I couldn't be a Diva...
Posted Nov 3, 2003
Just seen room 101. Apparently J-Lo (stupid name) has to have 2 eyebrow pluckers in her dressing room, and Mariah Carey has to have kittens to stroke. What?? I'd be interested to see what other people would have.
Andrew Nattan, Lead Guitar of Untamed Lawn's Diva Demand list for his dressing room;
40 B&H silvers,
A lighter embossed with my initials,
An ashtray with Alex Ferguson's face on it,
A 6 pack of Carling Black Label served at exactly 10 degrees celcius,
A poster of David Batty,
A poster of Noel Gallagher,
A dartboard with Damon Albarn's face in the middle,
A bottle of Vodka,
Me England Fans mug,
Me "No Brain, No Fear" glass.
Anyone else have any more outlandish demands?

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Posted Nov 1, 2003
With it being Hallowe'en (or All Hallows Eve to you and me non-Americans. I mean scaring old people into giving you stuff? That's bad) last night, me and three college buddies (being Iasha, Kat and Mike McKnight) went to see the remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
To be honest, I've seen the original once and wasn't impressed, even in my shivering food poisoned state (wierd that me and Kat at least feel like shit with food poisoning like symptoms) and couldn't understand how it could scare anyone.
So last night we sit there, four of us. Mike in his iceman state simply stared at the screen with disinterest and wasn't scared until a man put his hand on his shoulder in the bogs. Iash was hiding behind her bag and only came out when she tried to borrow a phone to return a text message. She wanted to leave half way through. Kat hid behind her jacket which led to me pointing out that while she's screaming to the screen "wood won't stop a chainsaw" she was hiding behind a thin piece of denim.
I started off well, with a bit of a Texas-style "Yee-Haw" the first time Leatherhead came on screen, but as the film progressed with the "meathook" scene, and various chases I was seen to attempt to hide behind a sleeve of Kat's jacket muttering "End the film. End the 
ing film, for s sake, end the film NOW!" But my piece de resistance was actually being scared by a change in music of the credits which led to me spinning round, seeing the words "BASED ON TRUE EVENTS" on the screen and proceeding to bugger off asap.
Now, in the cold light of day I'm pretty embarrassed, not least by the fact I had to sleep on Kat's couch due to not wanting to wander across a 200yard field at 2am.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: Good film, if you let yourself be scared by it and sit with people likely to be scared, BUT not as scary as the Leeds vs Arsenal game will be in 3 1/2 hours time. Eek.
Keep on Trukkin'

It's not all bad....
Posted Oct 19, 2003
Well, we lost to the scummers yesterday and I had to be half carried out of the Kop by my brother because my leg is yet again truly knackered. So I'd just like to take this opportunity to say, Roy Keane, you are a ing bogtrotter Manyoo ing son of a and I hope you ing burn in hell!
Anyone that knows me and Kat and has seen us at 3am at a party knows that the one conversation we always end up going back to is the state of British music. And how it teases and fools us. Let's start, Oasis. Greatest band since yadda yadda yadda, then they bring out "Be Here Now" and the piece of trite I only refer to as "the blue album" (so called because it is blue!). With them gone the great hope fell to the Stereophonics. Oh Kelly Jones with two great albums under his belt did blip with J.E.E.P, but it was a minor blip eh? Oh wait, the new one. I bought it, listened to it and hid it. I might listen to it after the gig, but I doubt it.
So who was left? Starsailor? While they are the greatest (only) current depressive indie band, the fact that the depressive indie market consists of me and Kat means they won't make it big. Coldplay? Yes! Big band? Yes! Sellouts? HELL YES! Ever heard Clocks? It's a cash in ing dance track!
Then there's Radiohead. Good music but they've peaked and are on the decline. So all hope is gone.
At five to one yesterday morning, Travis were on Channel 4 playing tracks from their new album, and I'd like to say that finally I've found the hope for music, the replacements for Mono-Brow and his Lairy brother may be four quiet lads from Glasgow, and y'know what?
It's not all bad!
NB: Should Roy Keane, or any scummer ever read this, you.

Gigs, Football and Plans.....
Posted Oct 11, 2003
Gig: Ocean Colour Scene at the Manchester Carling Apollo 10/10/03
Well, the support band were naff. Stupid hats, mediocre songs and a blatant Bowie ripoff in the middle of their final song. Craig Wright is a liar because he said they were going to be good!
OCS were fantastic, ok, I only actually knew a few of their songs, but the ones I knew (Day We Caught the Train, Profit In Peace and the finale of The Riverboat Song) I really, really enjoyed. The lead singer had a pretty good stage presence, as did the guitarists. All in all it was twenty notes well spent.
Just to clear something up, yes it was just me and my mate Katherine went. No I didn't cop off with her. No I didn't try. I didn't even go to hers after we'd got some chinese! So don't assume anything!
Football: Turkey (hawk, spit) vs England - Fernebace, later today.
Considering I didn't sleep before any of out WC games last summer, I'm surprisingly blase about this one. I'm just not psyched. I want us to win, but it won't affect me too much if we lose. I think. Mind you, come 8 o clock I'll probably be devastated if we lose....
Plans:
Doing my UCAS form tomorrow. Applying to Leeds Met, Sheffield, Nottingham Trent, Stoke and probably Hull or York. All of which have train links to Leeds or a team I wouldn't mind watching (Forest or Stoke). Not the best way to pick Uni's, but this is me!
That's pretty much it, so see you all after the game!
Andy

What's Been Going On!
Posted Oct 6, 2003
::Birthday Party 27/9/03::
Well, the party went well. It was in a Scout Hut which got trashed, leaving me and my friend with the possibility of a fine. To add onto that, it got broken into afterwards and we lost another mate's stereo. But a good time was had by all!
In fact,I left the party at 7am, stopped for a cigarette at about 8 at a bus stop and woke up at 10 with an old woman staring at me!
::Everton vs Leeds 28/9/03:
Bad as Leicester, but we outsang the damn Scousers all day. Not too bad then.
::Rockworld, Thursday::
Met up with Asmodai Dark after he'd been to Rocky Horror. There were also a French Maid and what appeared to be two hookers present. See his Journal for more.
::Leeds vs Blackburn 4/9/03::
Finally! A home win! 2-1 courtesy of the Seth Bomb! Woohoo!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Going to see OCS with Kat on Friday, should be fly. Also got to do my Ucas forms.
Tata!
