Elton and Michael are getting married - but not to each other.
Maybe someone missed a great PR op there!
Imagine how big that wedding would have been!!
Just a thought.

WE WON AN AWARD
What a week this has been!
Lovely Ian the A&R manager went off to LA and had a great time meeting and greeting California's great and good.
With his invite for the NEW MUSIC WEEKLY AWARDs clutched firmly in his sticky paw he went off to the KEY CLUB on the strip expecting to go home with nothing more than a hangover.
The night progressed and all the celebs did their thing; Kris "gravel voiced" Kristopherson made his speech, Buck did the host thing and about 50 other celbs came and went until suddenly - the winners are ... "GLOVEBOX!"
Who was there to collect it - only IAN! So he staggers up to the podium wasted - thanks all and sundry from his mum to the lady who washed his shirt at the laundry that morning and waddled off home clutching his big black heavy award.
The rest of the week passed in a haze with various bands - THE LOVEMAKERS, BEDROOM WALLS, HEAVENLY STATES and a load of guys from Warners, Geffen and Universal. He was busy.
As for me - I sat in the office listening to the sound of thunder and pidgeons. Some guys have all the luck.

DRIVE in dead silence
I have been doing some reviews for garageband recently and I have heard some wonderful and awfull tracks equally.
So I get in the car to go home and what is on the radio - more bloody drivel.
Can someone please get on the phone and sort out the damn music please.
Make us laugh, sob, sing, shit - whatever but please stop the brain drain and keep James Blunt away from the airwaves.
You are soooooooooooooooooo wet!
Did you know that he is a super rick kid who did army service in Kosovo and now all he can do is warble about how much he loves his girl. Looks like he spent the entire time in a tank wanking! Public school UK style. No wonder we lost the empire.

redneck agenda
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!
I often ask myself that question. Don't you?
I thought for today's blog I would just get you to think about why we made an historic trip to Libya in early 05.
It was great and terrible in equal measure.
The story began when we decided to take the first american rock band - The Heavely States - to Libya.
I guess what the point was is fairly obvious.
Anyway the trip was fraught with hassles and it got us lots of publicity in Newsweek and NPR and all over the planet.
There are lots of reasons why I did it and if you want to read about the whole thing the best way is to read Rob Harvilla's journal here -

Now that a year has passed I think the real reason why is the same reason that mountaineers climb up big hills- because it was there.
So there is your moral - If you want to be a music success do something extra ordinary.

HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY
Just a quick post here.
I had a bloody great bit of news. Glovebox won the phone in poll on JOY FM in MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA. That means they headline at the GAY _ AZ festival and then we got news that they are now headliners at the Mid-summa festival in Feb.
Not bad for a bunch from the dark side of down under.
Maybe our karma is paying off at last.
