Dogs Die in Hot Cars

I don’t know if are broken up or whether they are together again. Seeing as it’s a Friday, I’m going to go with back together though. Last I heard they were trying to put together a second album, although it’s been quiet again for a while, so who knows where things currently stand?

The unfortunate thing about the original sudden demise of Dogs Die in Hot Cars was that they left behind a superb album that became destined to be quietly forgotten. Which is a shame as it’s full of excellent XTC-alike pop songs, something which is in short supply these days. While at the time the band never really troubled the charts (this one hit the heady heights of #32!), it isn’t that hard to imagine them in the place of The Maccabees or The Kaiser Chiefs had things gone slightly differently for them.

Hot, hot, bloody heat

I’ve been pretty slack in my blogging for the past few days, partly because I’ve been busy with a couple of other projects, and partly because of the damn heat. I don’t react well to heat at all, so when it’s 31 degrees in here even at 11pm, I get a little thrown. Something that really isn’t help by the fact I’ve obliged to be here for work, so escape isn’t much of an option. In celebration of this, I present to you a handful of loosely thrown together, heat related songs.

TheClerisy News

We’re finally getting TheClerisy.com up and running, and a bunch of our sites have now launched. There are a few more, including a personal blog for me and the forum to be put in place over the coming days, but check out what we’ve got so far.

Which brings me to the launch of TheClerisy’s very own television blog, Taking Civics Lessons from Hookers. This is a project of a good friend of mine, Rob, and he will be filling a niche in the blog world: namely an in depth and critical blog that focuses on television.

On a more personal note, I’ll be working with another good friend Dan on a pilot for a Channel 102 show. Best of all, we’re letting our readers decide exactly which pilot we should make, from three that have been written. So head on over to Planeteleven where you can read all three and register your vote. (I don’t want to sway your vote, but ‘Statutory’ is the way to go.)

Holy crap! A festival in Kent?

I may well be heading to my first festival in august. Anyone who knows Kent will know that it’s a cultural wasteland, so I was rather shocked to discover the Electric Gardens Festival, a brand new festival near Canterbury. The sunday lineup is all about the indie rock, and while it doesn’t have the worlds greatest selection, it has The Boy Least Likely To, Brakes, Duels, Battle and a bunch of others to keep me entertained.

That’s all for now. Normal service will hopefully resume tomorrow, assuming I haven’t melted away or something in the meantime.
