COMEDY - The Poet Paul Hamilton.

Was lucky enough to see Kevin Eldon last night at the Black Box Belfast, one of the highlights of his particularly manic set was one of the support acts - Islington poet Paul Hamilton.

MUSIC - Youberlin

Haven't added anything to this blog in ages so I thought I'd come back and start things off with the great song and video by R.E.M.

MUSIC - Play Beatle.

I saw Paul McCartney at the weekend at the RDS. Complete with his great drummer,one of the coolest guys ever, and his backing band of Blondie McHorsington and Lanky McBrunette. The Frog Chorus was not played. Good times where had by all.

COMEDY - Gay Beatle.

Here is comedian Demetri Martin being his excellent self. Surrendered a lot of revision to watching 'Important things with Demetri Martin.' Still think I'm the best man.

MUSIC - Smokey Zooey

Zooey Deschanel. M Ward. Covering Smokey Robinson. So sweet I think I've lost some toes to diabetes.

POETRY - When You Are Old

WHEN YOU ARE OLD

WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep, 
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

By William Butler Yeats

MUSIC - Townes Dando Style

Yes, they're still going. Yes, this is from the last album. Yes, it's another great cover. This time of a Townes van Zandt song. Effortlessly great.
