Ginger Says – The Changing Face Of Rock

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2004

“The more that things change the more they stay the same” If, like me, you are old enough to remember music before Nirvana, or ways of finding out about bands without the aid of the internet, or waiting to seeing ‘how your favourite group moves on-stage’ without having the dream shattered by MTV showing ‘how […]

Ginger Says – Faceless Music in a Lifeless Industry

Friday, July 23rd, 2004

Having just got back from America, I have to admit that I have managed to somehow rub the brilliant sheen of the experience almost completely away. Reality, and London, have stripped me of all the joy and hope I had for this upsetting little system of power games that we call a ‘business’. I will […]

Ginger Says – And the consistent will inherit the Earth

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

It’s been a while since doing one of these ‘intro’ things, and I have to say I have been dreading starting up this little habit again. Not because of the work (surely, Dear Reader, you know you deserve that), but because every time I sit down to write an intro, something else good happens. Every […]

Ginger Says – We cannot fail – because the only critic capable of thwarting our zest for life, for the unchartered and intensely difficult times ahead, is ourselves

Monday, January 5th, 2004

HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL YOU FAITHFUL… …and go fuck yourself, all you moaning bastards that have marred what was otherwise a perfectly rotten 2003! Jeez, what a year! It started well. Independently reaching the hallowed UK top 20 and appearing on Top Of The Pops with ‘Stormy In The North, Karma In The South’. Personally […]

CJ Says – Right now we… ROCK!

Monday, September 15th, 2003

Hi Boys, Girls, Cats and Dogs CJ here and lovin it. Just got back home to Tokyo and it’s hot and I’m suffering from a mighty dose of jetlag, gets me every time. Now when it’s hot in Japan there is nothing back in the UK that can compare. It’s like a sauna 24/7 and […]

Ginger Says – Greetings From Hospital

Friday, May 30th, 2003

Just got back from a trip to Hell. It all started when… well, let’s go back aways. I’ve always had a tremendously competitive streak. It has blurred my decisions, marred my enjoyment and misdirected my attention for years, ever since I got into this business, in fact. And if one can make comparisons between brains […]

Ginger Says – The Good, The Bad And The Mighty

Tuesday, April 8th, 2003

Ever thought that things have gone as bad as things can possibly get, only for things to get worse? Much, much worse? In the quest for the official nadir of bad tidings the good news is that there isn’t one. When the smell of shit becomes too much to deal with, worry not… pretty soon […]

Ginger Says – Bush has the bombs, but Britain has the balls

Tuesday, February 18th, 2003

Anyone that attended the ‘anti-war’ march, or stopped by Hyde Park on Sat 15th of Feb 2003 will have been witness to the biggest celebration of action in the history of public demand. Gathered in what seemed to be below freezing conditions an estimated 1 1/2million (the organisers even claimed there to be more like […]

Ginger Says – Saving the world and drinking fucking coffee

Monday, January 20th, 2003

Anyone went back on their New Years resolutions yet? Mine is to stop drinking for three months. Failed a medical test, had no choice but to sober up and mend the liver. An old friend of mine died over Xmas from alcohol related liver failure. If you drink moderately, but every day, then I have […]

Ginger Says – Out with the old, in with the now…

Sunday, January 5th, 2003

Hey y’all… Dunno how many members of The Wildhearts have gotten into the ‘net spirit yet, but I’m hoping that there’ll be some massive contributions from the guys in the near future. I thought I might as well give my thruppence worth on how I see the year shaping out, being as I already got […]
