Tim Booth

[iainjclark]

I always knew George W Bush was only joking about being President...

Well, it amused me anyway. (I found it on author Peter David's weblog.)

In other news, I ordered the new solo album by Tim Booth, former James frontman, today. James somehow passed me by in their heyday, but I've got really into them recently - mainly the classic albums Laid and Seven, which have some outstandingly good tracks on them. Hope his solo stuff is, well, any good.

I'm very bad at buying new albums, and especially at buying artists I haven't tried before. For some reason I have a near pathological fear that I won't like them, and will therefore end up with a crap CD in my collection. No idea why this should be an issue - half my collection is crap already. :-)

Oy! I did mention my pathological fear of buying new albums, didn't I? Well you're not helping! :-)

I'm just saying ... he's been known to teach seminars on the healing properties of certain types of dance. (He was actually hired by James originally as a dancer, after they saw him prancing in Manchester Uni's student bar.) He's not beyond being odd like that. Having said that, I'm sure the album will be great. :)

And 'Whiplash' has 'She's A Star' on it = essential.

I'd kind of gathered that he's bonkers, and his dancing certainly is....

It's no use trying to mollify me now with your feeble reassurances. The damage is done! ;-)
