What's the big deal with these podcasts, eh? i was doing a podcast on me computer late last night and I ended up with sticky keys. i know there's a keyboard function somewhere that is supposed to fix that up but in the long run I just used a wet flannel and some cotton buds.

Now, it's a big weekend for entertainment. First up....

Spank You Very Much, on Friday December 18, presents a Santa sack of fun with their Christmas Special  "Spank You Very Much at the Gov." - Port Road, Hindmarsh.  The show promises to be more fun than getting reamed with Rudolph's fuzzy antler.

Sunday 20th December Hoy-Hoy!  Will be blowing down the walls of the Brahma Lodge Hotel. Check out Hoy-Hoy! Here: http://hoyhoymusic.com/ and treat yourself to the band’s new Birthday celebration DVD.

 
On the same day, Sunday December 20, Double Wammy will be at the Christmas Special at the Wine Underground. And what's so fukken special about it? I hear you ask. Well, first of all there's Nickoff and Spooks doing a get-down-and growl acoustic set. Excuse me... That should be Nick and Snooks who are Nick Kipridis and Snooks La Vie. Then, after that, there's Double Wammy making it a huge double feature Christmas show... for the same price. So it is fukken special.

 Later that same evening, in front of a audience that can only be described as "a large crowd of people" Amber Joy Poulton and the Holy Men will step up to the urinal and ... just a moment, wrong train of thought... will step onto the stage at Carols By Candlelight in Elder park and sing some songs. It will be - and I don't use this word lightly - it will be something approaching mediocrity, especially if they fuck up Rudolp the Red Knows Vodka like they did in rehearsals. Or it could be awesome. Carols by Candlelight; bring the family. I don't know whether they let you bring your own candles but you can take it from me they don't like you bringing a blowtorch.

LOOKING AHEAD

December 26 and Double Wammy still has a gig pencilled in at the Wheatsheaf Hotel, Thebarton. One day soon Uncle Tristan will confirm the gig and we can all all put the uncertainty behind us and just get on with our lives - for what they're fukken worth. You know, the other day I got held up by a naughty highwayman who poked his blunderbus in my face and demanded of me my  'money or my life'. I rifled through my pockets and found thirteen bucks fifty cents, a bus ticket and a few balls of fluff. The naughty higwhwayman snatched it all and shot through leaving me with the sad awareness that I had just handed over what he considered was a fair trade for my life.
