Vindio Sotileza FC

Bank Holiday this weekend, so a heavily depleted squad for our second game of the season. Last week's goal scorers Fran, Lipe and Tonis are all absent - let's hope those left behind can maintain the winning momentum.

L-R: Fran Garcia, Ivan Rivas, Tonis, Ian Clark, Diego Vindeo, Ruben Gonzalez

Fernando Sanudo, Lipe Gonzalez, Manu Gobea, Fran San Roman.

update: hard-fought, bad-tempered 1-1 draw.

Goal courtesy of Clark, 20 yard top corner.

Heroes. Part 5 of X. Terry Nutkins

An occasional series based on shady personal recollection rather than wikipedia.

With that name and that haircut it's hard to imagine Terry Nutkins being a TV Presenter (or celeberity as I believe they are now known) nowadays.  If he was, I suppose he would be patronised as a figure of fun, rather than someone knowledgable and passionate about their subject matter, who encouraged a generation of schoolkids to take an interest in wildlife.  Looking like a denim-clad school teacher who played bass in a staus quo tribute act at weekends...the likes of Ben Shepard and that brash twat Vernon Kaye (© Simms' Dad) aren't fit to lace his Timberlands.   Terry Nutkins....a name guaranteed to bring a smile to the face.

The Social Network works



Saw The Social Network the other day, liked it. Alright it's a film about Facebook, but it's a film about Facebook directed by David Fincher, written by the guy who created The West Wing (which i've never seen but some people say is even better than The wire - unlikely) with music by Trent Reznor and a great central performance from Jesse Eisenberg. About 20 minutes too long and a pretty riduclous and expensive looking scene on the Thames, just to show how the social network site crossed the Atlantic, but its a better way to spend a couple of hours than trawling through Facebook.

3/5

Back to Black



Exciting day today - as it's our first league game of the season. notoriously slow starters (in previous seasons we've only picked up our first win after christmas) I'm actually confident we can get a top four finish this season - got some good new players in, I only hope they are not distracted by Racing Santander's ("our" team) visit to the Bernabeu tonight - where Mourinho is proving annoyingly effective so far.  Anyway, after three seasons of red boots (we shared some good times and a few special goals) I've gone back to black and back to the stripes.....

Update: Comfortable 3-0 win

A piece I made picked up a Gold Award for script at the Latin American Promo awards last night. Which was nice.

Primavera Autumn



In preparation for Madrid's 5 night PrimaveraClub Autumn edition (a bit like the camden crawl but spread throughout the city) and steve's confirmed attendance, i've been reasearching.  Aside from known quantities, Teenage Fanclub, Lou Barlow, Wavves and Holy Fuck, I've been really enjoying yet more minimalism from Brooklyns Beach Fossils and Tweak Bird has potential for a good live show.

Seems steve has also been on the case:

"Male bonding and Jaill are both on sub pop, and the Jim Jones Reveue have the accolade "The best live band in rock and roll" from Mojo."

Valencia



Just spent the weekend in Valencia with Mom and Pop theory and a new camera. Once I can be rigged to sign up to Flickr i'll stick some more photos up.  Also need to figure out how to reduce the whites burning through in the photos.
