We are on the verge of another weekend. We are heading out for a bit of dance on Friday evening, when we go to the Four Corners night at the croft. Then on Saturday, I’m off to see BCFC in action in the afternoon, before meeting up with some friends for some food and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gig at The Anson rooms. Picked up a few CD’s this week, finally got round to picking up the new Calexico album, which is growing on me nicely. Also got a couple of EP’s The Black Rooster E.P. by American 2 piece The Kills which I like a lot and Holly Roller Novocaine by Kings of Leon which has it moments. It does look like the band have way too much hair though.

The main story in Bristol this week, has been the amazing news that a local pensioner had by detained in South Africa for a couple of weeks, after the FBI has decided that he was one of the top 10 most wanted men in the USA. Now anyone can make a mistake but this was a truly bizarre error. The poor chap was the victim of identity theft, but as soon as you heard him talk (let alone compared his picture with that of the wanted man) it should have become clear that this was not the sort of man who pinch a newspaper, let alone be involved in a major financial fraud.
