SNOBS GUITARMAN AVAILABLE: The rhythm player on the original mega-British Beat stomper Buckleshoe Stomp is looking to jam. Says John Boulden in an MSN Shadow Music post: "Experienced lead guitarist with Strat and EOTP. Shadows preferred but have played covers all my life so that could be an option. Some vocals. Can provide mike and stand, etc. Doesn't have to be a working band. Just getting together to work on the numbers is fine. Surrey area preferred but travel to another county for the right people. Age 60 but young at heart."... MR. BLOBBY, HERO: Trawling YouTube for Screaming Lord Sutch vids, I stumbled upon "a large pink humanoid" who rose (ballooned?) to pop fame in the '90s, starring on presenter Noel Edmonds' Saturday night entertainment show Noel's House Party (that's the pair at left), storming the pop charts, raking in merchandising, even standing for political office—watch how Mr. B (105 votes) goes all wobbly when the tally for obvious mate Lord Sutch (782 votes) comes in during that Littleborough and Saddleworth by-election I spotlighted Wednesday. Genius! Blobby, per Wikipedia, "communicated by saying the word 'blobby' in an electronically-altered voice, expressing his moods through tone of voice and repetition." He'd have my vote... LONDON FLAKES: Twice. That's how many instances during my lifetime I remember snow at sea level in my native San Francisco. So being greeted by white stuff from the sky over our Rapiers-Pipeline Easter Weekend really did stick out. Here I steadily brave the elements on a brief but uneventful walk to the Notting Hill Gate Tube station. Brrrr!
