POPPYRED - BIRMINGHAM's Interests
General
Drinking and having a good time....
Music
Plenty....DAYTIMES are courtesy of some lovingly created itunes playlists. Mainly easy listening guitar-friendly bar music - think Counting Crows, Ben Folds, Sigur Ros, Amy Winehouse, BAT FOR LASHES (how hot is Natasha Khan?), AIM, Kruder & Dorfmeister et cetera. EARLY EVENINGS; yet more itunes thingies but a bit more up-tempo: Klaxons, Gossip, Kate Nash, Teenagers, Team WaterPolo, Crystal Castles, The Kills, Killers, Some obscure Beastie Boys, The Go! Team, CSS, Ting Tings, Giles P, Snowboy, Gotan Project etc, certainly none of your Hed Kandi shit. LATE NIGHT can be a bit of a mixed bag, depends who's on the decks. Expect the following though: Funk, Hip Hop, Indie, Rock, Dancefloor Jazz, Latin DnB, Electro, Breaks and so on and so on.
Movies
Occasionally. Especially at Halloween. Nothing like a crap werewolf movie!
Television
BBC News 24, Champions League (the terrestial matches anyway - you think I'm forking out for Sky? Do me a favour...), 6 Nations Rugby, Cricket World Cup, Wimbledon (go Nadal!)......
Books
In a bar? Nah mate. More like newspapers and magazines. Books are for coffee shops. And where do you think you are? San Fran-F**cking-Cisco?. Sod off you Ginsberg/Kerrouac wannabe!
Heroes
Rick's Cafe American (Casablanca, you heathen), Atlantic Bar & Grill (back in the day), Westbourne Studios, The Drones, Kaffibarin, Circo (RIP), Actress & Bishop, RED Bar, Island Bar, The Jerusalem Tavern, LAB, Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, The Eagle, The Hawley Arms (RIP)...
If your here because you love the sensational Poppy Red then you definitely have supreme musical tastes and would therefore no doubt dig this groovy little song from Albert Ross and the Otters..
It is guaranteed to make your day, brighten your night and put a great big smile across your face....
