Here's a picture of me looking tired and saggy and Iggy looking away from my chest/charmingly bored!
Enjoy!
Damn it I wish I had cable...
ReplyDeleteGreat news!
ReplyDeleteI have cable but my payment is fixed. I have to go private to add on and it gets messy, so
I just added YouTube to my favorites. I’ll have a deck tomorrow.
I know the feeling when you’ve finished a bit of work that’s appreciated.
Niceeeee!
Great photo, in the moment.
Have set the Sky Plus for tomorrow morning.
ReplyDeleteGood ol' Rupert!
recording AND watching it as it happens! hows that then?! Looking forward to seeing the Sparks set, and Iggy and White Denim too..
ReplyDeleteHow cool's havin ya pic taken with Iggy then??!

Billster - don't worry - I can get you a dvd
ReplyDeleteMomo Madster - our youtube channel currently has some of Series One but we are adding like mad each day. Funny photo you mean - we were talking about the roots of Michigan music at the time I think. I was knackered and really cross as we had loads of gatecrashers from Sparks roadcrew that crowded out the studio which really pissed me off as we don't have an 'audience' as a rule. And people kept coming up and asking for photos and autographs which they had been specifically asked not to do. Oh well. I was upset for three days afterwards. It had taken so long to get to that point all for it to be pissed on by wankers. Of course - that was all behind the scenes - the show looks great! We cut out the liggers!!
Geoff - cool - hope you like it
Piley - yes - Sparks were great - I was so excited when they said yes - like your childhood dream come true. I still felt that stab of fright when I met Ron Mael - something about his smile is terrifying although he is the nicest man you will ever meet - lovely. Mind you - I felt excited about a lot of the acts on this series as a few I asked that I didn't expect would say yes and then did which was brilliant! Re: Iggy picture - I didn't know anyone had taken a picture although I would have preferred to look slightly more appealing in it and for Iggy to look less bored! He was utterly charming and a pleasure to talk to.
Aw, you look lovely in the pic. But looking away from your chest? No excuse for that Iggers.
ReplyDeleteCool photo, RM. If it helps, I looked at your chest. It's ok, it's ok - no need to thank me. I do what I can.
ReplyDeletethe show will be on here in january? i'll check it out then, but off to youtube now!!! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHow can I get it Romo? I've got a Freeview box and an oldish satellite box - but no subs to any pay channels - what's Freesat - I'm sure I've seen your channel mentioned in the promo for it.
ReplyDeletePS Perhaps he's just being a gent and Mr discreet
Get you with Iggy! Too cool!
ReplyDeleteWell done rockmum! Something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteLOVED the show by the way... like Jools Holland only COOL!!
ReplyDeleteFunny, the bit i really like is the intimate few moments before and after the songs, like we have acidently barged in on a rehearsal.
Cant wait for the White Denim stuff!
P
Roman Empress Lady - why thank you!
ReplyDeleteJimmy Pages Troosterster - Oh why Mr Rigsby! (looks away all bashful like) ;-)
Savmarshamama - I hope you like it. It's on IFC in Jan - I'll try and get tx dates for you
Planet Mondo Bongomania - quite poss on Freesat (er what's that?!). I've got Virgin cable and I can now automatically get Sky Arts HD for some reason OR I can send you a dvd - series one dvd with extra's at all good retailers now
Annie - I know - I had insomnia for three days afterwards due to the adrenalin surging through my system!
Dickley - Cheers me dear
Piley - GREAT! Thank you so much - it is brilliant to get such nice feedback. We are way cooler than Jools and it is better shot for a start! They are a bit rattled by us I think as they keep slapping exclusives on acts that we book which means we can't transmit until they have gone out first which REALLY PISSES ME OFF! But it is also a compliment too I suppose. I hope you like the rest of the series.
PS: Piley - I fought tooth and nail for three months to get White Denim on the show as no one else knew who they were - it was their first tv performance EVER and I am so proud - even though I say so myself - they are BRILLIANT!
ReplyDeletePS: You're a star Mum.
ReplyDeleteMomo Madster - oh poo you made me feel all weepy saying that. My real name means 'of the stars'. My mum bought a star in my name somewhere in the universe a few years back. Turn left at Saturn and glide for a few light years - first on the left and down a bit - quite small and slow moving x .
ReplyDeleteI love the picture. It made me go all weak at the knees. Great show too! P x
ReplyDeleteYou jest Roster - you're looking in *fine* fettle!!
ReplyDeleteThe Igster's looking a bit ropey though, don't you think? He has got a smashing pair of knockers though, hasn't he?
;/
Glad to hear you've been gainfully employed.

Paulie - ha ha - don't be silly! I'm so cross I forgot to suck my tummy in! But I didn't know my picture was being taken.
ReplyDeleteBobster - Son of Romo just looked at the photo and went uuuuuuggghhh who is that horrible man from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? He's got a really melty elbow. Thank you for your compliments - I am now very ungainfully unemployed now it's on air! XX
That's a great spot from Ro-Minor. I always get the three confused: Igster, bloke from Chitty Chitty BB and Melvyn Hayes. It's *definitely* Melv on the cover of Lust for Life, but after that, it all gets very confusing...
ReplyDeleteWell done everyone!
