Funbongo: So.... If you go to the o2 Arena in foggy London Town don't stand, you will only see half the show.
Albert Hoxton: Could be a problem if you are going to see the 3 foot tall Prince(cess) who claims 'Sexy Never left'. Nice one Prince, pipe down fruitcake.

Who's ya daddy? Joe Cocker?

On Wednesday night Funbongo and Albert Hoxton witnessed FutureLoveSexSounds in a Dome. Across town Ophelia Hoxton went to see Joe Cocker at the Tower of London, really? No really.

Over to you Ophelia:

Yo

So after swimming around in mud for days on end at Glastonbury I decided to be slightly more refined and go to see Joe Cocker, VIP style.

The champagne reception went down very well, as did the meal cooked by Gary Rhodes. I did try and get a photo of the food but Gary was a bit precious about it.



After being given a complimentary poncho (which I'll be taking to Glasto 2008) and a blanket, we were escorted to our seats by a Beefeater. He was really old, a bit doddery - not too unlike most of the members of the audience to be honest. One major bonus of being a VIP was the port-a-loos; no more mud soaked, piss covered toilets for Ophelia (like at home) - these were properly posh spice. Molton Brown soap and everything, even tissue paper not last thursday's Metro.



So ol' Joe came on and was just a bit lovely. He's a bit like your granddad, with a band and better clothes.



Highlights

Love lifts Us Up Where We Belong. Ophelia got so overwhelmed she nearly cried. With a Little Help From My Friends went down pretty well too.


Lowlights

You Can Leave Your Hat On - the ginger haired singer nearly got very carried away and did a siptease. Luckily no-one was watching her. Also, the woman in front of me had a MASSIVE ASS and got up to dance during the last song. That was NOT PLEASANT.




Rating out of 14.6:

9.8. Joe was good fun but doesn't really float Ophelia's boat.

Chrisette

Blud, Don't Make Me Go Old Skool

Funbongo: This song is fantastic, the video is acceptable.
Albert Hoxton: Not sure how I feel about the editing of the main part of the song, they have taken the chorus out!
Funbongo: They make up for it slightly with the brilliant little scratchalude at about 2:28.

Funbongo: We won these, it was in the LDN Apple Store.
Albert Hoxton: The 'Genius Bar', where you go to for 'Apple help', didn't serve any beer. This was simply wrong.
Funbongo: Last time I went to the 'Genius Store' they told me the problem I was encountering with iTunes video playback was a 'glitch' and I was amazing for spotting it; this didn't help the problem...
Albert Hoxton: We got these cards with 10 free iTunes downloads which was Coolio and the bing bang bong.
Funbongo: No flash photography was allowed so video only for this one.
Albert Hoxton: Oh chop! I thought they said no flashing, I would have flashed me rudebox at Tash had I known...

Prince Sticks It To The Man One More Time

From Billboard

Paul Quirk, co-chairman of the U.K.'s Entertainment Retailers Association, used his keynote speech yesterday at the London Calling conference to condemn the latest "covermount." Having said the news "beggars belief," he added, "If it turns out to be the case, The Artist formerly known as Prince should know that with behavior like this, he will soon be the Artist Formerly Available in Record Stores."

Like he gives a chop! Records stores are imploding.

Oh poor SonyBMG, oh poor industry.

Prince wins.

Prince fans win.

The Daily Mail, not SonyBMG, Win.

As long as the artist and the fans win, who cares about the middle man; be it the Daily Mail or sonyBMG. Good work Prince.

Prince - Guitar (itunes)

Albert Hoxton: I will be up early tomorrow to get meee Daily Mail and Prince CD

Kanye West - Stronger Ft Daft Punk

Funbongo: Its sort of like the 50 Cent 'In daaaaaaaa Club' video. Cassie (the R+B girl, not that sheep from Neighbours)is fit.

Albert Hoxton: Its sort of like the Daft Punk 'Harder Better Faster Stronger' Video. Cassie (the R+B girl, not that sheep from Neighbours)is fit.

Amy Amy

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own

Our favourite Winehouse song.

Big News!

I am as happy as Joss. Bye bye corporate hell, Hello music industry

Common - The People

Oh my God Ronson, not a good video...

Calvin, tell 'them' to Fuck off!

Albert Hoxton: JK and Faithless did.
Funbongo: Calvin Harris has a moan and we agree with him.

Daft Punk Live!

Funbongo: Wow
Albert Hoxton: Thank you

Funbongo: Not you, Daft Punk.
Albert Hoxton: They made the O2 Wireless credible and gave it some much needed heart.

The Best things about the O2 Wireless
(Albert doesn't like even numbers)

1. Daft Punk (sporting their 'encore' outfits here)



3. Mistakenly walking into the V.I.P after Daft Punk's set, getting three FREE Beers and talking to Just Jack about w@nking. We made him laugh and probably scared him a bit, nice chap.



5. Easily getting to the front.



7. The Beer tents were quick.

9. Having chicken nuggets and chips two nights in a row.



11. Hanging out with Albert's sister Penelope and Joe.



13. Getting Shake Shiraz to buy us a beer.

15. These:

Daft Punk - Face To Face/Harder Better Faster Stronger/One More Time



Daft Punk - Technologic VS Oh Yeah!



Worst Things about the O2 Wireless

1. Some joker burning Penelope Hoxton's hair. :(

3. Alex Greenwald performing two shit songs during Ronson's set.

5. Losing my phone.

7. The lack of atmosphere.

9. CSS being on the main stage ahead of Calvin Harris or Klaxons.

11. James LCD Soundsystem wearing the same T-shirt as here

Jack Jack




Funbongo: Just Jack is Funbongo's popstar of the year. Why? Because he loves it. The Wireless festival suffers from a lack of atmosphere. It was sunny and early in the day, most of the crowd were not there to see Just Jack. However, by the end of the set everyone was converted to the ways of Jack by his sheer enthusiasm and wonderful band

Just Jack - No Time Live at O2 Wireless



Albert Hoxton: 9.2 out of 11.

Kelis



...looked amazing. Unfortunately, her vocals were too low and she completely messed up her setlist. Why did you play album tracks in a 8 song set? You have about 8 hits; play them.

Kelis - Lil' Star Live at O2 Wireless



Albert Hoxton: 6.6 out of 11.

Mark Ronson

The jury is still out. Is he anything more than just a covers band live? Does he actually play anything on that guitar he carries? Is there any point without Lily, Amy and Robbie?

Mark Ronson - Stop Me Ft Daniel Merriweather Live at O2 Wireless



Well... he was enjoyable. Daniel Merriweather was fantastic. Alex Greenwald sang their Radiohead cover joyously and then undid all his good work by performing two rubbish songs no-one cared about.



Albert Hoxton: 7.3 out of 11.

Faithless



We don't actually know many of their songs but the band were entertaining and Insomnia was brilliant. God is a DJ was also a highlight.

Justice D.A.N.C.E Party

Albert and Milkshake Shiraz went to see the Frenchies play. Instead of writing a report they made a video. They broke the setting on the camera so its all in black and white. Watch out for Shiraz getting thrown out of V.I.P at the end.

Pharoahe Monch Live

Pharoahe Monch - Rehab (Amy Winehouse) Live



This guy is a phantom. He has been in hip hop hiding since last century but when he finally appeared it was worth the wait.

Funbongo: A fine live band and accomplished MCing display from the quasi-Egyptian.
Albert Hoxton: Good pimping, shame it was in Camden. It was nice of De La Soul to come on stage at the end.

Funbongo: The backing singer was actually insane, he was extremely talented but battied around stage like Sisqo on crack.
Albert Hoxton: He missed out a couple of songs out we wanted to hear but was generally on point.


SPOT THE DUMB TYPO! WILL FIX WHEN MEEEEEE GETTTS HOMES AIGGGGGGGGGHT

Mos Def does his best to save it but its still upsetting to see Wino stutter live. We love Amy almost unconditionally but...

Darren Hayes Live!

Darren Hayes - Random Blinking Light - iTunes

We only know three fans of Darren Hayes. Funbongo, Albert Hoxton and Katy-Ellen's mum. More people should like him; he is amazing. As it is our blog we are going to blog the shit of this gig because we want to (what up Billie Piper?).

Dazza was performing in a small bar in Soho, he was kindly previewing his new album due out in August. Here is what happened:

Albert Hoxton: He had great chat. He spoke of how the album wasn't about him being a gaylord. The crowd was full of older women and gayers, there was a lot of love.

Darren Hayes - Step into the light Video


|

Funbongo: D Man told us how he married a man from Nottingham, he was also very honest about how SonyBMG dropped him from his record deal. SonyBMG are smart cookies; they dumped Hayes but signed Chico. They are also down with technology; they copy-protect their CD's, let Universal nab Maroon 5, only promote albums by established artists if they are 'Greatest Hits' and make amazing blogs about signing bands online. I really love them.





Albert Hoxton: He performed loads of new stuff that sounded brilliant, a few duffers from his last album and two Savage Garden songs.

Funbongo: One of the new songs can be heard here at PopJustice. It puts any of the camp disco that Jake Shears has been responsible for over the last few years to shame.

Albert Hoxton: Dazza was ill, he had the flu but it didn't affect his voice or performance.
Funbongo: A true showman.
