The Future
There seem to be strange things afoot for 2006...
Half Man Half Biscuit (Now in the Wikipedia) frontman Nigel Blackwell revealed on the Tranmere Rovers website that their next album may well be a golf opera aimed at the US market (Scott Verplank guesting?). Considering this is a man who told The Guardian there was a Biscuit tribute band called "It Ain't Half Man, Mum!", this may be worth taking with a pinch of salt (It certainly cannot be attributed to the Scouce sense of humour as they're from across the water *spit*).
Also up and coming is a new book for John Cale look-a-like / Shooting Stars panelist Will Self, entitled "The Book of Dave". It's a classically Will Self idea, the inane ramblings of an East End taxi driver are written down only to be discovered 500 years later and mistaken for a religious text. I prefare his stuff with some dark humour behind it, as opposed to his damn weird stuff, so I'm looking forward to this.
Maybe it'll shape into a good year after all
