Ginger Says – How to rock and when to roll
Thursday, February 22nd, 2001So 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 […]

Sunday, January 21st, 2001Happiness. 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 […]

Thursday, November 23rd, 2000December 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 […]

Saturday, October 28th, 2000It’s been some time in preparation and the past few months have been torn between public opinions from “can they pull this thing off live?” to “will they be a disappointment compared to The Wildhearts?” and “I hope to God it’s as good as I hope it’s gonna be”. The proof of this particular pudding […]

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2000So, now there’s a band in place and the songs sound great… but something is missing. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is, either. Mind if I just throw some thoughts your way? If any of them stick then maybe we’ll have made some use of this time together, ‘cos chances are […]

Wednesday, September 13th, 2000And there was me thinking I’d seen some interesting stuff. I must have asked God for an interesting life somewhere along the line, and in the true tradition of being careful what you wish for, I certainly got one. Witnessing your baby arriving into this world is pretty spectacular on any level, let alone when […]

Monday, August 14th, 2000Patience (a truly ridiculous concept). And the Lord said something like, “if you hang about for ages, until whatever it was that was so important seems such a distant memory that its importance has become diluted to the point of ‘oh what the fuck, eh?’, then you shall get whatever it was you wanted in […]

Friday, July 14th, 2000Doing stuff (a modern ailment). It’s 4.30 in the morning and I’ve gotta be up in a few hours. Not very rock ‘n roll, nor even all that outrageous considering the lengths and breadths I have often gone to to push my body into some experimental realm of consciousness just to see what it feels […]
Read More »Ginger Says – Oh, I have seen some sights lately. Bobbing heads, guitar straps the length of the average necklace and enough static stage presence to make Noel Gallagher look like Angus frigging bastard Young
Thursday, June 8th, 2000The entries have been charging through my front door at a fair old rate of knots. Those slices of joy that reek of domineering young men that demand the chance to shine – to seas of fans around the many stretchmarks of the world. The newest Rock God to hit the magazine racks. The freshest […]

Friday, May 5th, 2000And so it is done. The album is finished, mastered and completed. The artwork is done. After nine months of serious work, the end has finally arrived. When I started this album there were a whole host of differences in my life. I was living in America. I was reliant on drugs. I was single. […]
