Hello worldly traveller.
It has been quite some time since I have written anything on here. This is down to fairly equal mix of being incredibly busy and “ah cannae be bothert” as we say back home.
LOTS going on though! Not that I’d tell the likes of you, coming round here, cap in hand, looking for scraps and farthings.  First off, I am still alive and well. The sun is shining as I write this and life is fekin magic. My writing partner Jay and I are embarking on many different projects at the moment, all of which are totally awesome.  How awesome you ask?  So awesome that if I told you about them you may try to worship me as some sort of God. That would be a bad move, as I would certainly be a VENGEFUL GOD AND YOU WILL BRING ME THINGS OR BE SMOTE BY ME... THE GREAT SMITER. THAT’S NOT A WORD. DO NOT LAUGH AT YOUR GOD! Caps lock off.
Since I last wrote to you, many things have happened in the world that I’m sure you would like my take on.

SUSAN BOYLE. This woman is as mad as a bag of cats. Singing voice aside I hope she has massive success just to see what she does next. Over the course of 8 weeks she has become the most famous person on the planet, and now she’s in the priory. LOVE IT! It could only happen in this country. How long before the tabloids who love her are writing headlines like,”BOYLE BURSTS ALL OVER THE UK!” or “HAIRY ANGEL CAN F*** OFF!”.  Knowing our tabloids, not long. Good voice, I wish her all the best and hope she makes a shed load of cash.

MP’s EXPENSES. I’m actually vomiting a little as I write about these bloody scumbags who seem to be able to do whatever the hell they like without ANY shame. The problem is, everyone is pointing the finger at the Labour government as they are in power. Fair enough, but now it looks like public favour is swinging toward the torys’ who are just as bad, but perhaps worse as they’ve got David Cameron! Please God (not me, another one) don’t let a man who looks like he’s been made out of wax become our next Prime minister. These MP’s and their parties are all the same. If they can get away with it, they’ll do whatever the hell they like. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!

LADY GAGA.  Did you see her on Jonathon Ross? Another one who’s mad as hell but with a great voice. Think she may be a robot.

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SEASON 2. Oh. My. Christ. These guys are total geniuses. If you haven’t seen it yet I urge you to check it out. “Choir of Ex-Girlfriends” is a particular favourite of mine. If you don’t like it, you’re wrong.

That’s all I can be bothered with at the moment. In fact, I’ve kind of bored myself writing it so you must be fairly fed up reading it. Nah probably not, I’m awesome.

I’ll write again in another 8 months  ;-)
Dave

PS A big thank you to Victoria who ran the DavidSneddon.biz fan site for years off her own back. As I am no longer a performer, she has finally realised I am not worth the effort, and has moved on to better things! Thanks Vic   xx

I wrote my Scottish friend from Glasgow-- lives in London-- an email somewhat as ridiculously as nuts as this one about a month ago.

I think I scared the crap out of him, as he hasn't been back to say hello since.  I rather enjoy turning up the heat sometimes.  Kinda fun, is it not?

God how I love kindred spirits.  We can be bloody nuts whenever we want, go off on whatever and whoever, and still smile at the end of it.

Welcome to the brethren of I don't give a flying f*ck!

Oh, and speaking of certifiable, please add JASON MRAZ.  Another incredible voice whose politics have taken him to spending his time on his blog discussing-- in great detail-- how many sheets of toilet paper we should allocate ourselves when we take a "no. 2" in order to save the trees of the world.  I get his point, but please!  All in tow with a pic of him clearly naked camping in Costa Rica this week.  He ain't that great looking I want to see him naked.  Just saying!  So here's my take:  David, talk whatever Sh*t you want, but please never ever tell me how to take one.  Thank you!!!

Oooo surprise! Nice to hear from you David. Good to know you and Jay are busy in songwriting land. I always like to hear about the artists you are working with and the music you are making. And I'm so thrilled for Dave Gibson getting signed to Colombia.

Flight of the Conchords is awesome. I think Bret is cute, but Murray is my fave. He's just so uncool... he's cool lol!

Have to be honest didn't see Susan Boyle on Britain's got Talent', mainly because I'm allergic to Simon Cowell (another waxwork if you ask me lol!). He's a scary man! She is a fine singer though, I just hope she gets the right help to deal with all the media hype. 

As for the MPs. I agree they are a total disgrace. I think the Queen should just sack the lot of them and let Joanna Lumley run the country!

Ta ta for now,
JJxx

Hello worldly traveller yourself. Great that you have lots of unspeakable! projects going on but whats all this no longer a performer business. I saw a picture of you singing in a kilt only days ago so don't give me that old rubbish. You can't hope to get away  with a statement like that or we may have to come and give you a good shaking. We have been waiting ages for some action.

Haha hilarious as usual.  Glad to hear you're still alive.  May davidsneddon.biz rest in peace.  Made sooooooooo many friends through that site.  Good times.  Thanks Vic.  Good luck with all you're doing, at least you've never had a stay in the Priory so you must be doing something right :)

Lovely to hear from you David and I am glad you are keeping yourself busy and that you and Jay have different projects in the pipeline.
I watched BGT and didnt rate Susan Boyle.  I rather liked Diversity or Shaun Smith and I am glad one of them won.
As for the government they all ought to go - who is running the country anyway at the moment - they are spending their time trying to keep the cushy jobs.
I hope you have a great summer - all your fans could do with at the moment is a gig or two - any chance!!!!!! xxxxx

Damn, sorry I can't worship you, just remembered I'm an atheist

I guess now that you're not a performer peeps may as well stop asking for gigs lol
Thank god (or YOU in disguise) that I have a shed load of hobbies!

Good luck

Hi David,
Ah good to hear from you after so longggg.  We'd all love a chance of a gig from you. I’m glad you are focusing on writing too and hope it’s going well. I’m very excited about your songs with Dave Gibson.    

I’ve been to some incredible gigs and festivals so far this year, much fun.  Revolution! Yes certainly that is what is needed urgently, or someone with an ounce of creative thought.  Now it is all about ‘career politicians.’ I like the words Obama uses – united, tolerance, humbled, together – he’s given the future and what works for all, a lot of thought. It is not only about the past.   

Flight of the Conchords? My Ross sings some of their songs, they are his role models! –  the funniest show I’ve seen in years.  Ah where would we be without youtube, facebook…… myspace etc. Your Ep continues in the chart, at no 2 today and your voice matters to many.  Last year it felt your music was exactly on track, I miss hearing you sing. Keep in touch with your online mates more often please – your songs brighten the dullest of days.   Best Paulinex

Aha.  You're back.  

Excellent blog.

Thanks for the career advice about MPs.  I was wondering what to do as a second career and your blog has now totally convinced me

Glad to hear you're still alive.  Have you gone bald yet?

xx
