Good morning everybody! I hope you're feeling more awake than me. The world is carpeted white. Even the tower blocks look bearable. My throat hurts this morning, as do my aching muscles. Really enjoyed the gig last night but didn't enjoy loading in a blizzard. I was to red-bulled up when I got in so watched the open University in the early hours and pondered the deep questions of the universe: why can't scientists dress well? Was it a scientist who invented the classic ' beard without moustache?'

Today I'm meeting up with the French label who are putting Moustache out in France. The label boss is a really cool guy. We'll be on the same label as the brilliant Cotton Mather in France which warms the cockles somewhat.

Hope you enjoy the snow. It always looks better to me through the windows of a pub....tonight perhaps...

Oh, By the way, our ex-drummer Tom has a single out this week on Fierce Panda. His band is called Repairman and the single is called Smiling White Noise. I love it and you will too if you like wierdy acoustic loopy Gomezesque hook filled flights of fancy.....

If we all bought it, it might get in the charts and he could afford to buy me that pint he owes me!

Sundays eh? Sandwiches, relatives, antiques roadshow, sprouts. I woke up this sunday without a hangover for the first time since 1989 (i started drinking very young) What a strange experience it was. Still as boring but without the headache. I've been listening to some new CD's (The Pernice Brothers and Nada Surf, since you ask)

My New Year's health kick was going well until Friday when a friends birthday turned into a Camden piss up. Was that me singing along to Bob Marley in the Oxford Arms at 1A.M? Yes, I'm afraid it was. Who was that falling off the seat in the Black cab. Yes, I'm afraid that was me too. Guilty as charged. Good fun though (what i can remember)

Last week I was trying to finish off some lyrics while reining in my childish desire to go sledging! The band will be getting together for some gigs at the end of the Month. We're also doing a couple of gigs in Madrid in February. Perhaps we'll even finish the album before Easter.

Got to go now and watch the darts final. Rock and roll. Oh Yes

Hello everybody and best wishes for the Year ahead. My resolutions were to 1. Stop making resolutions i won't keep and 2. Update the diary more regularly as the rest of the band don't seem to have any lives worth boring you about.

My hangover from the New Year is receding like hair and I’m packing my bag for a trip to Spain to see my father who is a matador. Christmas was the usual round of family get togethers and excessive drinking. Most of it was spent in York where the beer flows like water. New Year was spent in the east end of London. I was dressed as Dick Van Dyke from Mary Poppins and I was only narrowly beaten in the Jellied eel wrestling by Henry Cooper. My drink of the night has to go to the Tequila and Champagne slammer, a drink so powerful that you can’t remember who you are moments after drinking it.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. I want to hear the best New Year Resolutions on The Chat board

Best wishes
