Last night I downloaded the new World Cup song from Spizzenergi, and I have had it playing on constant rotation here ever since. Well worth a download (or buy the CD with a T-shirt from eBay) It starts off with a sort of Beatles/Jam vibe, like a cross between Taxman and Start!, and has a […]

So bad its good?
February 24th, 2006 · Comments Off on So bad its good? · Music
Spizz is so confident that he provides links to his competition. This thing is that this one could well be in the so-bad-its-brilliant category.Honestly. It is as naff as they come, but I can’t get it out of my head. Not a patch on ‘Three Lions’ but I can imagine it being sung on the […]

Where’s Captain Kirk?

Where indeed?While I would quite like to see this painting hanging on my wall, I’m not really in a position to go splashing out on original art at the moment.I will just have to make do with getting the live DVD or going to the concert in April. Looks like a good night actually, with […]

I can’t get www.442ok.com to open using Internet Explorer under Windows XP on my computer. I can open it with another browser though.I would be interested to know if anyone else has the same problems.(OK. So its yet another excuse to plug ‘that band’. So what?)

Where’s Captain Kirk?
December 10th, 2005 · Comments Off on Where’s Captain Kirk? · Music
I can’t believe I made a 200-mile round trip to see Spizzenergi – a band I have already seen so many times I have lost count! On the way I made a small detour to pay my Dad a surprise flying visit in Letchworth. The band were playing at the Marquee in Hertford. A bit […]

Spizzenergi (yes again)
December 4th, 2005 · Comments Off on Spizzenergi (yes again) · Music
Every blog has certain pre-occupations. With some it is the Gulf War and with others it is ID cards, electoral reform or pictures of kittens, so I feel a bit intellectually inferior when I realise that the two things which crop up most often here are photos of abandoned shopping trolleys and Spizzenergi. Today its […]

89 is barely scratching the surface!
November 21st, 2005 · 2 Comments · Music
Lisa has been writing about this article in the Guardian last week. The article starts with a statistic from Napster, that the average person owns 126 albums, of which 37 have been lost, leaving just 89. It goes on to speculate which 89 albums you should own if that is the case. I was faintly […]

John Peel Day 2005
October 9th, 2005 · Comments Off on John Peel Day 2005 · Music
Another shameless plug for John Peel day this week. Spizz Energi are playing at the Metro in Oxford Street. As part of the set they will be playing (I Am An) Island which I think they have never played live before. I don’t think it was ever released on record either, but is my favourite […]

John Peel Day 2005
September 27th, 2005 · Comments Off on John Peel Day 2005 · Music
If anyone is looking for a good way to mark John Peel day this year, and they are within travelling distance of London, they could do a lot worse than going to see Spizzenergi at the Metro Bar in Oxford Street on October 13th. Spizzenergi did two Peel Sessions in 1979, as well as one […]

Meltdown Photos

Spizz has some photos he took on Friday night on his website here and here. This is a nice one of Rachid Taha and Mick Jones together backstage: And this one of MIck Jones on stage with Carbon/Silicon is too good to be true. If he really managed to take this on a little digital […]
