Taken a while. Nice to finally get recognition. No doubt he reckons he can coin it off of my fame. At least I’ve made it to the mainstream news. What has Oh Cheers achieved? Exactly.

Funny how the “Main Pretention-agonist” talks about his music as well my own. So he’s doing “madcore” is he? What is wrong with him?

Some people (idiots!) might just think I’m a washed up old has been. I suppose it was about a year ago when the whole Google Horseboy palava exploded.

Admittedly it is depressing, at times, to think what could have been. To think what could still be. But I’m just a horse. And not even a horsome horse.

I’ve had to turn to other avenues for income now…

It's just a bit of escapism. You made me do this. Sob.

TRACK: AONology (best bit at 1:24, btw)

TRACK: Bang Bang Bang

Go to the interactive app and select the relevant track, turn on the drums, press play, and see what you think about the alleged similarity.

Dobbin Horsome’s shuffle beat on AONology was an experiment from 2004, just after the Prodigy’s excellent Girls single was released.

Just 6 years later and the mysterious Mark Ronson has an intriguing riffola playing on an inverted perversion of the very same beat pattern methodology on the abovementioned track.

Shurely shome coinshidence?

Or does Mark Ronson have some explaining to do?

In hindsight, it seems so obvious. How many of the genus Homo equinus successfully navigate through airport security?

While it is a fact there a lot of us I do believe this effort was a bit of a first, as the below poor-quality security camera footage has captured.

Let me on that aeroplane!

In consequence, while I was supposed to be promoting my latest works, this meant that I had a few days spare on my hooves.

So I joined a dance troupe.

Rather fetching, don't you think?

I reckon we’ve about 3-4 weeks of generally OK weather before the chill starts to shock us out of our summer stupor.

But we can still have a laugh, right? Or is it already getting too dark to heal the humours?

Tomorrow after work I board a flight* from Gatwick to Edinburgh to meet my agent for the final few days of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Yeah, I’m joining up with my agent. He was going to make badges to distribute to punters but didn’t. Fail? Or a lucky break? We’re best off incognito I think, sometimes. Sometimes, I even think.

Maybe we’ll see you there?**

Getting Ready for the Flight

*Train fare was twice the price and three times the journey time, and required a journey up to heavily-concreted northern London, which is generally worthy of avoidance as even the occasional tree that turns up is made of asphalt.

**code word: “dib dab dob“. Go on. Give it a bash. See if you get a hint of recognition.

While the inter-continental nature of the Oh Cheers contributors is referenced infrequently by the wider press, its primary journo-nodes (journodes) are in the Earthbound cities of Melbourne and London. However, it is often too easy to neglect our roots, and it is with this in mind that the latest image-riffery is a nod to (some of) our origins: a glorious bicentennial settlement on the south coast of England; a town where seasides, ice creams, s … Read More
