putting my reputation on the line

My credibility is about to be shot.

Last year, I was passed information about The Pixies, The Cure, Radiohead, and various other act playing at Coachella 2004 before the line-up had been announced. This morning, the very same contact sent me information saying that Jay-Z/Lincoln Park, Garbage, Bjork, Prince, and The Smiths have been confirmed for Coachella 2005. I was skeptical of this information, but decided to post the information becuase he would know better than anyone else.

It seems that this year he decided to completely fuck with me. It seemed to be good to be true and well, it was. I got played. I got scammed. To put it simply, I got completely fucked with. Interestingly, it was on same day they redid their website, announced when the line-up would be announced, and gave information about when tickets would go onsale (presale password is Gobi).

As I had said, this same contact, who I have always trusted and has never lied to me before, decided to fuck with me and my readers. This is someone who would definitely know the line-up. This is someone who hasn't ever passed on any information that was false before.

So please excuse my prior post (I especially apologize to Ambitious-Outsider whose heart I know I just broke). It was all a cruel joke. An outragous fabrication. A mean and nasty trick. None of those acts are scheduled to play the festival. I was told Coldplay was booked but I ain't trusting that fool anymore.

Anyway, sorry.............

Okay, this is a strange one.

On the site for the indie pop band Language of Flowers, they say that drummer Ben Cooke "will be returning as the full time drummer, after he's been given lessons from Mike Joyce of The Smiths of all people."

Recently, the band's main page (here) added the photo of Ben Cooke, which had not been on the page previously. Clicking on the photo brings you a page (here) with a picture of Ben Cooke being "serviced" by someone who looks a lot like Mike Joyce.

Unconvinced? Check the name of the photo file itself: cookejoyce.jpg.

I don't know what's stranger: Joyce posing for this photo, or Cooke wearing clothespins on his face.

By the way, Language of Flowers is a great, Sundays-type band. Not sure what this bit of press will do for them, though.

Brit Awards: Best British Male Solo Artist betting odds

Will Young 5/2
The Streets 11/4
Lemar 4/1
Jamie Cullum 7/1
Morrissey 12/1

...Finally, Morrissey is a 12/1 shot. The former front man and inspirational lyricist with The Smiths, came back after several years in the cold, with “You are the Quarry” in 2004. The purists loved it, but it is doubtful whether that is enough to take the accolade.
