Ginger Says – Dance, drink, fuck and party like it was yesterday. Because yesterday we didn’t know how much it meant to us

Thursday, September 20th, 2001

How on Earth do you write a new intro when the world is about to go to war? I can’t take music as seriously as I used to. The art of penning a few interesting lyrics and coupling them with a succession of well worn chords seems to reside on the silly side of art […]

Ginger Says – Sobriety And The Real 12 Steps

Sunday, August 5th, 2001

Anyone who’s given up anything that has become a constant in their life knows the pain of longing. Anyone who’s forced themselves to refrain from gorging on old habits due to health problems understands the day to day nature of the battle. Drugs, gambling, sex… shit, even TV, chocolate or coffee. All are serious enough to […]

Ginger Says – I swear to you that you know the future of The Wildhearts as well as I do

Friday, July 13th, 2001

Well, where do we start? Trying to put the last couple of months into perspective is kinda like feeding a camel through the eye of a needle. You could eventually do it but it’d be really messy and take a helluva long time. And would it even be worth it? Probably not. The Wildhearts started […]

Ginger Says – Nothing ever changes but the news

Saturday, May 19th, 2001

And so, on the first day of Wildhearts rehearsal I OD’d on anti-depressants, CJ had a fight in a pub with a gay Muslim nutcase and Danny was taken to prison for possession of a knife. All’s well on the Wildhearted front. Rehearsals sound big, the riffs are huge, the ambition and sheer workload is […]

Ginger Says – None of us would be here now if it wasn’t for this fucker

Tuesday, April 17th, 2001

So I got home late Easter Monday from a weekend away having shite-loads of drunken fun in the country. Tired, and more than a little bilious, I nabbed a quick look at the weekend’s mail before catching up on some much needed kip. I saw something about Joey Ramone dying on Easter Sunday and drifted […]

Ginger Says – Alcohol And Girls

Friday, April 6th, 2001

There really is nothing else, is there? I woke up this morning (cue blues riff) and the world was getting in my arse something rotten. Bills, debts and general badness abounded about my existence. ‘Fuck this’, I thought, ‘let’s hit that bottle of Absolute and fuck it all. In fact, fucking fuck it all. Fuckers. […]

Ginger Says – I’m in love with the rock ‘n’ roll world

Monday, March 19th, 2001

Hey, hey, hey… so it all happened as laid down in the hopeful rantings of last month’s intro. Funny what happens when you commit yourself… or, if you like, ‘careful what you wish for’. Gotta admit, the response from the news that The Wildhearts are to reform was quite frankly ridiculous. Men openly weeped, women […]

Ginger Says – How to rock and when to roll

Thursday, February 22nd, 2001

So I got pissed off with the way things were run. So I made some changes to the way that things were done (good line, right? OK, you can have it). I got off Sanctuary management because they were just too big, too blind to the needs of the small guy. A great management company […]

Ginger Says – The industry knows what flavours you will put up with for the rest of your munching lives. They know how sensitive your little stomachs are

Sunday, January 21st, 2001

Happiness. Bullshit or not? Do you believe in it? Do you sometimes think that if no one believed in it, that there wasn’t a need for it, that anyone would have bothered thinking it up at all? Yeah, happy new year. Happy New Fucking Year. It’s a bright, new, spring-loaded, multi-purpose, big, useless fucking new […]

Ginger Says – Since when did we get together and pay for distant friends to visit our country for nostalgia? Insulted? I know I am…

Thursday, November 23rd, 2000

December it is. Xmas it will soon be. And fucking hungover we are all destined to find ourselves come December 18th. Oh, throttle my exit with the raggy end of a pineapple, yes! You see, there is something strange going down in the darkest portals of SilverGingerVille, and it looks like a keeper. I have […]
