your favourite band
If you don't know PAUL MOSLEY so far you have missed:
A band called Moses, being accused of stealing from The Clangers, Radio 2 playlists, 6music sessions, being shushed and praised at the same time by Tom Robinson, the love of Jamie Oliver, a drink with Shane MacGowan, Another drink with Shane MacGowan, duetting with Sam Brown and her fine display of 'playing the piano with ones knockers', sharing a toilet with Muse at Glastonbury, singing in an Amsterdam brothel, another drink with Shane MacGowan, Oliver Postgate approvingly quoting Dee-Lite lyrics, the 'Graham Coxons favourite band' debacle, Jools Holland inviting himself backstage, potential Band names ranging from 'the lucky Bitches' to 'Troon Cronk & Monger (featuring paul mosley)', making 'Mistys Big Adventure' sound a bit like Thomas the tank engine, The Canadian Will & Grace on the dole, the BMG A&R man incident, a choir, Plakka getting good, a lap top show down, improvising on bassoons, flutes, a lot of incredible harp, losing a moth to Florence and the Machine, a small amount of sex, an abandoned attempt to write proper pop songs in Barcelona, monkeys, pigs, wolves and some astonishing music.
Its not too late, there's more to come including POP!, fashion magazines, ukuleles, ventriloquists, supermen, xylophones and possibly Jimmy Somerville.
