Would Be Easy?

[boyofbadgers]

So, last night, I have the flu and my face hurts and so on, and I have two separate birthday engagements to attend which I've had to cancel on because of infectiousness and general lack of any energy whatsoever. At about 6pm I discover that the Shortwave Set are playing at the Windmill later. This would merit no more than a shrugged 'so what?' except that it's rumoured that Green Gartside will be supporting them. Which seems very unlikely, the truth of this rumour, because he hasn't done a live gig in like 20 years and if he was suddenly going to start again, well, why now, and why supporting the SS? I um and ah, and consider the possibilities, and settle on staying at home. A trip to Brixton would surely lay me even lower and make my face hurt even more and if I go all that way and it is just a rumour, which it *must* be, thinking about it, I will be extremely annoyed. So, I don't go.

Well, it turns out the rumour was true, the GG in Double G & The Traitorous Three really was Green and here's a photo to prove it:



OK, so he is looking a bit ropey, and kind of worryingly indie-rock with the beard and guitars and T-shirts, but still: GREEN GARTSIDE!

Fvck my fvcking flu, fvck it to HELL.
