...with Fireworks Night, we bumped into Mercury-nominated band Maps in a service station. They gave us something that they said was their new single, and asked if we'd have a listen to it. When we got back into the tour bus, we found that it was, in fact, a DVD of some very, very bad porn. "Office Sluts" if you're interested.

but gazza was eventually sectioned after hotel employees made daily complaints about him walking through the reception area completely naked, with a plastic parrot on his shoulder. he was also ordering raw liver to his room and more interestingly he was giving his coke dealer his credit card so he could go and get money out of his account for coke. he was buying enough for 35 lines, then racking them all up, doing only the 16th and 19th, and then binning the rest!! no joke

so I'm told, Pete Doherty has been struggling with crack and heroin addiction for years!

Can you believe it?!

I did hear that Brett Anderson has a fetish for hairy armpits. But I think I might just have made that one up to get people on a Suede forum in a tizz a few years back, so don't call it reliable or nuffink.

At Crispin Glover's "Big Slide Show", I always carry a mag lite at gigs and I got to shine it on him till the problem was fixed.

Jeff had the habit of telling stories between songs and he was telling an MC5 story when a audience member informed him that Fred "Sonic" Smith had just died. Jeff was visibly shaken cause he was friends with Fred and Patti, then he talked with the band for a moment and they launched into "Kick Out The Jams".

Chuck had invited audience members onstage with him to dance. One guy started trading dance moves with Chuck. Chuck would do the duck walk with head moves and the guy would do the duck walk with more flare and fancier head moves. Then Chuck would up the ante with even fancier moves and the guy would just serve him sideways until the guy finally did about six back flips and Chuck's eyes just popped and he gave up. He got served by a funky white boy from Montana!

were on tour supporting The Cranberries. They were pretty rude and kept stealing our beer. Things came to a head in Canterbury (the penny theatre) when a friend took an empty glass, pissed in it and poured it over the veg lasagne that was part of their rider whilst they were off soundchecking.

We then came back from our soundcheck to see them sitting around scoffing the lot. Yum.

Or an Eve or some kind of chick smoke. It was an Angles Of Light gig and Micheal asked the audience to borrow a smoke. Some lady gave him the ciggie and he looked at it, shrugged his sholders and put it in his mouth. Then some guy offered him one of his and Micheal waved him off.

I also saw Gira deal with two hecklers at a reading he gave in Powell's City of Books. The first was a baby that an audience member had. The baby started crying or making loud baby noises during his reading and Gira stopped and said something like Ahhhh, that's OK. Then a few minutes later some guy tried to interupt by makeing a loud insinuation. Gira immediately exploded and threatend to kill the guy. He's stand for the baby's crap but not an adult asshole.

then an audience member (the singer of Pond) climbed up onstage and finished the set, with Lanegan laying at his feet the whole time- the audience loved it!

at glasto we happened to see the blood arm in some tent, they were introduced as the greatest rock and roll band in the history of the earth. then the singer came on and immediately tried swinging the mic around, he then proceeded to launch it across the stage by accident right as he was supposed to start singing. naturally it was our cue to exit. having mocked him first obviously
