Brian Dunworth is the 137,049th person to smash his own face in

Just keep seeing them things on facebook... '******* is the 167,873rd person to join the cause STOP Animals Torture in Asia. Join her' Why do people put that on their status? It's basically saying 'i'm a good person, and i want you to recognise that'

Jesus i mustn't have much to say at the moment if i'm bitching about facebook on my blog... what a cunt!

Good God Y'all

Shit man, what a show on STAX that was! I was nearly crying when it showed Otis doing 'Try a little tenderness'! Sky Arts yet again, c'mon lads.

I've got nearly every bit of our album planned out in my head now... which song i want a horn section on, which song i may have vocal harmonies on, and exactly how i'm gonna use the rickenbacker 12string. It gives me great optimism at a time where i'm not so confident of getting other things i want so badly (no not drugs)

Would love to get back in the studio as soon as possible but the man's on tour and good luck to him, we'll continue in april.

Anyway, i shall go back to work and daydream for another week. fuck off geezer

When you said i was ill, you wer not wrong

A mixed weekend for Delta Dunworth, a more than productive couple of days with Mitch at broadfields studios has seen us finish the drums, guitar, bass and organ. I got to record my guitar part with a badass Fender Tele today which was Steve Cropper-like to say the least.... wicked

In other news i am ill as fuck and fancy a sleep.

Nemanja Dunworth

Well today i'm feeling relief if nothing else, as you may have seen in my previous blog, i is going back into the studio with Tobacco Road on saturday. Yesterday i managed to get that aching all over flu where you feel like you've been done over with a baseball bat but i am feeling better as the day goes on so everything is back on track.

This weekend will be exactly a year since we recorded our first ever demo do it's gonna be good to show ourselves more than anyone else how much we have improved... and the addition of a badass organ player/guitarist hasn't gone a miss either.

I watched a Doors programme on SkyArts last night (oh ain't i cultural eh? EH?) and it was sensational. Those motherfuckers could jam, they could jam good. Any band should aspire to play like that, just keep it flowing, bit of delay, offbeat drums, a fucking shit-hot organ player on the vox... tremendous stuff, really is. I'm no woman, but that Jim Morrison a piece of work, i can't deny that. Otherwise i've been listening to Bobby Womack's 110th street and literally dancing whilst driving my transit van, hazardous? possibly... sad? absolutlely

Next time i check in i'll probably be in the latter stages of recording and will be jubilant.

That's some good shit right Marogy?

Eduardo has returned from injury with a band! His two goals brought a smile to my face, I've missed him dearly as an Arsenal fan.

I think i'm gonna roll up to Bardens Boudoir on thursday to see my beloved Ground Dust supporting acoustic ladyland... anyone know where Bardens Boudoir is??? Anyway it's gonna be a realy good night i'm sure, this coming weekend will be my first in 09 pretty much clear of debt so i might have a few ciders you big wanker!

Yep

Sunday night and I'm still wide awake, it's past midnight and i have a routine week ahead of me. That being said, my sister and her husband are coming over with my little neice Daisy so that'll be a good bit of family time i suppose.

Been listening to the harmonies of Fleet Foxes(yes, i'm catching on late) and applying to play small festivals this evening. Without meaning to sound twatty i've got something eating away at me right now and i'm feeling like a right moody teenager, maybe it's one of those depressive hangovers, i honestly don't know. But i try as hard as i can to simplify whatever thoughts and feelings i might have and try to put logic to them but the truth is... as much or little sense i make out of it, i can't change them. Well not for a few days anyway. I don't honestly know why i'm writing this but this is a blog and i'm sure as hell not gonna write a fucking song about it.

Had a good gig on saturday anyway

Only Fools and Dunworths

I'm listening to 'We Gotta Have Peace' by Curtis Mayfield and I am happy.

That going hand in hand with my first comment since starting this thang up, a comment from Jo... which made me laugh. Cunt

I'm just in the process of booking a gig on the Pier in Clacton for no other reason than to run around the arcade like a 10 year old and to kick a 99p football around in public. It's amazing when i actually think about how much Only Fools and Horses has moulded me as a person, i've been exposed to it since i was about 5 years old. There's something really special about the characters, the banter and with my Dad being from Stonebridge(which wasn't too dis-similar form Peckham in those days), i've heard stories about real life people who were actually like certain characters from that show and it's fucking great.

I think you do need that element of cockney in your family to really get it though, to see the similarities in your uncle Steve to Trigger... or hearing my uncle Paul mention a bloke called 'Johnny Harris' in a story about a job he'd done. Fucking Johnny Harris! that there is the most cockney name ever and one that i'd put £4.97p on being mentioned at some point in Only Fools and Horses.

I don't think everyone gets it but i wouldn't expect them to, this isn't the most intellegent thing i've ever wrote but it's a big part of who i am... at least i've got a bit of Harlesden in me and i'm not some kind of thoroughbred London Colney kid. That i'm proud of, i just find it funny that my mad uncle Paul dis-charged himself from hospital last night and was found in Hennessy's at 10pm. I love to have stories to tell, whether you belive them is another matter...

My band

Right let's get this motherfucker on the road. www.myspace.com/tobaccoroadband1

That's the band's Myspace. We've had 19 plays today and if we make it 20 by midnight... it will mean little.

Me and my cat Boycey are sitting here and I'm thinking of something to write what is going to be of interest. I know people say 'if you haven't got anything to say then don't say nothing at all' but i feel like a bit of a natter so fuck off.

I've been thinking in depth about how the fuck Otis Redding was so much better at singing than everyone else? It just wasn't fair on the others, if you listen to the live version of 'Try a Little Tenderness' and don't feel a bit of a tingle then i can only conclude that you are a Razorlight fan. Seriously man, check it the fuck out on youtube or something. I can't put my finger on why i've become so addicted to 60's Soul music. Admittedly, at first it was probably to try and look cool like most people do but once you've heard 'Tracks of My Tears' and really got that feeling, it changes what you look for in songs. Then the more groove based Curtis Mayfield shit makes you literally feel like a fucking hustler or something, it's great stuff... really is

So that's what i try to do really, sing like Otis Redding and write songs like Motown ones... not entirely of course as i have my deep rooted Coral influence and listen to The Doors and Bob Dylan quite alot but Soul is where my um 'Soul's at(what a cunt)

Thing is, the industry have picked up Duffy, Adele and James Morrison who are undoubtedly great singers but ain't got the songs quite frankly. Chasing Pavements was nice and Warwick Avenue is good but there ain't no fucking tempo man, we're a band who makes our music together and therefor our songs have a rawness and 'hustle'(fucking love that word) that songs that are either given to them artists or co-written with them don't have. Shit man I can't wait to make an album.

'tis not arrogance, it is a self belief which could only be knocked if Marvin Gaye came back from the dead and told me my songs were shit

So this is what she does all the time?

Yeah just been convinced to start a blog by a mate, my first impression is that this is fucking shit-hot. I can write allsorts of bullshit and about 5 people maximum might read it, might even post one of my 16 second videos you cunt.

Well suppose i should write a bit about myself, if that's how this works.

My name's Brian Dunworth and I live in Borehamwood. ave some of that

I'm in a band (just had to throw that in) called Tobacco Road, I personally am heavilly influenced by the Stax musicians of the 60's so much so, that i actually bought a burgundy turtle-neck jumper at christmas so I could look like Steve Cropper. Work is not something that needs to be talked about... I go sometimes and when i get money i spend it, incredible stuff ain't it? fuck off geezer

I'm playing The Good Ship in Kilburn on Valentines night (coincidence), is that the self promotion Jo? nah?
