:: Hide & Seek ::

My annoyance at Ask Jeeves's latest bout of radio advertising (describing themselves as a "find engine") has reminded me of one of Tigger's better recent ideas.

We discussed this, incidentally just before last Saturday's gig outing to the Barfly. The three bands we heard deserve a mention: SantaCruz lost out a bit from being first on, but I enjoyed a lot of what they did. Hugo, the singer, pitches in somewhere between Brian Molko, snake-hipped "I'm a little teapot" impersonator Mick Jagger and the redoubtable Trent Manley Ford. Next up were Special Needs - friends of the SantaCruz lads and they've been featured on Xfm X:Posure! Finally we had no nonsense excellence from The Dash - despite being another band who's name requires a definite article, I thought they were very good.

Back to the original plot. Tigger's big idea: set a challenge to find a (specified) famous person. Celebrity stalking on a massive scale inspired by a weird dream, it seems. No doubt I shall be scalped if I reveal any more of this... I'm just waiting to hear the words: "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find Jane Horrocks and force feed her cherry tomatoes"

These are the various search terms people have used to find me recently:

capezzoli di venere recipe
vicissitude gurning
"morose ennui"
5 intersecting tetrahedra
raputin's penis
"corsair records"
"she pops balloons"

Is that eclectic enough for you?
