I haven't wrote in a while

Hey guys, sorry I haven't wrote in a while, this is mainly because I've had nothing really to write about, I still don't but I've gotten into this new thing, called Cosplay. Cosplay is basically where you dress up as someone like a cartoon character or something.
Today I cosplayed as Harley Quinn, the Joker's girlfriend from batman. Although I don't have the outfit, I decided to do the make up for her instead. I didn't have a mask so I used make up to make one, it's not going to be as good as an actual mask but it's a close attempt.
I've always been good at doing experimental things with make up and Harley Quinn was quite a challenge for me to do, because although the make up in general is black and white with a mask etc the mask proved to be a challenge as it does smudge a lot and it messes up the base of your mask.
It took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get the completed look, the mask took me half an hour, so it was mainly the mask that proved to be a problem, but here is the finished result.


If you guys want to create her look, all you'll need is:
Pale foundation or white face paint
A mask (if you don't have one use eyeliner- both pencil and liquid, and black eyeshadow)
mascara
Black or red lipstick

Bye bye for now.

The Hunger Games- Review

The Hunger games, first started off as a book series by Suzanne Collins and now a blockbuster film which I went to the cinemas to watch yesterday. The film was really good and really well set out although, it did drag on a little bit and took a while to actually get going. If you've read the book series you'll know that Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark are the two main characters and they are from 'District 12.'
The Hunger Games is set in the not too distant future in a place called Capitol and basically it's where a boy and a girl from each district are chosen to compete with the other districts, only one is crowned the winner. Prim Everdeen, Katniss' little sister originally got picked out but Katniss being the protective older sister she is, she takes Prim's place by saying she volunteers as tribute. Katniss makes fast friends with Rue from District 11 and they form an alliance when they're actually in the game when Rue warns Katniss about a nest of Cracker Jackers (very deadly wasps) Rue only trusts Katniss because of the Mockingjay pin she wears over her heart (for Prim)
Peeta admits that he's had a crush on Katniss for a while anda rule change is made stating that two tributes can win the game if they're from the same district so Katniss decides to play on this, acting as if she's falling in love with Peeta to help them get sponsors to help them win the games however once they're the last two the rules are changed back.
Katniss and Peeta decided that if they both don't win, then they'll both commit suicide by eating highly poisonous berries so that there is no winner- the gamemakers give in and crowned them both winners of the 74th Hunger Games.
The film did drag on a bit if I am honest but it was good to watch, it was a feast for the eyes and the costumes were beyond amazing! I will be honest, on a scale of Justin Bieber's 'Never say never' and the Harry Potter Series I'd put it just below Twilight. I have seen better films but I've seen worse as well, but it depends on your taste.
I'd recommend it to those who are into Fantasy type films and sci fi films because it's kind of  a cross between the two, in my opinion.

School depresses me.

I need to vent, so ignore this post, or read it if you want, maybe you can relate to it or whatever, this is just a one off post because I really need to vent about this. I'm so pissed off right now it's unbelievable. Sorry to depress all you happy people, I'm usually a sunshine child, but bad things can happen to sunshine people too.
So, lately, I don't know what's been up with me, my happy endorphin's aren't what they used to be. I wake up every morning and burst into tears for no reason.
Schools really getting me depressed too. I just want to spend the majority of my time being quiet, crying or ignoring people, I'm not who I once was, I don't know where I am right now, I mean it's weird right? I mean, I burst into tears when Mrs Donald told me off, I NEVER do that, I usually just shrug it off and not give a shit. (If you want to hear the story of Mrs Donald, go to my tumblr iaskedforquavers.tumblr.com)
I don't understand, maybe it's just my hormones or something but I get so frustrated and upset easily lately, anyone annoys me. This is one of the reasons I cannot upload the Dave Brown interview right now because I cannot deal with this stress and deal with the stress of typing out this interview and making it perfect for you guys! This interview is special to me and if I fuck it up, it's going to make me feel worse.
There is also a lot of other reasons why I'm not uploading the interview. The big C word is one (No I do not have cancer, but my Uncles wife has been battling it for 10 years and well... Need I continue)
I can't deal with my friends as well, there's only one of them that makes me feel genuinely happy, and that's Bean, my other friends just seem to be annoying me lately. If anyone has any advice or anything, please feel free to tweet me, click the 'My twitter (:' tab at the top and it'll redirect you. Also another thing that is very out of character for me is that I'll ignore texts, last month if I got a text I'd read it straight away cause it'd bug me, but right now I'll just sit and watch my phone flash until I can be bothered to actually read the text or reply.
Don't judge me.
Sorry for venting this on my more professional blog. Feel free to call me an 'attention seeking whore' on my tumblr if you wish.
If you read this, thanks, sorry if I depressed you<33333
I do love you guys a lot and if you understand then great and if you don't, well there's nothing I can do, but I love you!

Sorry guys!

Hello my lovelys, so here is my long, heartfelt apology about not being able to post the Dave Brown interview yet! I am so sorry, it will be coming either this week or next, I'm really busy, this week is going to be a stressful one if peoplee are going to continue being awful and disrespectful and putting me under stress I'm afraid there will be another week of waiting, it's going to take me hours to type up the full thing, but I really want to make this special for you lovely readers.
School is putting a fair bit of stress on me, I have loads of unfinished assignments and loads of stuff I have to do, such as my business work, English, Maths, other various things and I am VERY tired, I'll be surprised if I make it through to the end of the week. I'm also going through family problems on my mothers side and if it takes a turn for the worst, I won't be writing as much for a few days.
I am so sorry, I love you all and I'm sorry I cannot keep my promise, it breaks my heart! Really does because the interview is fabulous and you're going to love it! I guess the waiting adds suspense as well. I hope you'll enjoy it when I do finally post it though!
Much love

Copy cats.

Okay, so you ever had the most brilliant idea ever, tell it to someone and they use it before you even have the chance? I know I have and I'm just sat there like 'erm, where's my credit?! I gave you the idea!' I mean it's flattering that people like your ideas and such but seriously, there's a thing called originality, if you're going to steal someone else's idea, at least add in your own touch.
Now, what bugs me more about this is when the girls at school have Paul's Boutique jackets and claim that everyone's copying them because they're wearing PB, it's like no. You choose to follow that crowd, if you want to be original, stop wearing it. Some people WILL have the same clothes as you, it's the way you wear them which makes you original. My fashion sense is quite abstract, I have my idols, but if I'm going to 'copy' them, I add my own twist to it which makes it original.
Copy 'cats' really bug me because when people see your ideas by them, they get all the attention and don't even credit you. I mean, I don't like the 'limelight' or attention or whatever, but if something is my style or my idea and they steal it, it pisses me right off! And when people say you're copying them! It's like no, I was like this before you, shut up and get a grip!
If you've ever had this happen to you before, you'll understand because I think some of you readers will be just reading this like 'what?' So yeah, just needed a little bit of a rant. I sometimes feel a bit like Vince Noir with Lance Dior!

Dave Brown interview- UPDATE!

Hello guys! As promised I will be interviewing Dave Brown, however, I may not be able to upload it when I promised because this Sunday is the day of mothers (mother's day) so I will obviously be busy that day- you can still expect tweets from me though, of course! And on Monday I have made arrangements, which I had made before I promised you guys and I'm sorry but my friends and family come before my blogging life (no offence, I love you guys but I do need to uptain my none existant social life!)
The interview will come next week! I promise you this, but what day, I am not sure of yet, sorry to make you lovely people wait a little longer, if I can, I will put it up Monday evening, but there's a high chance I won't be able too.
I'm so sorry my dear readers, sorry to keep you in suspense! I know you're tired of waiting, but my life is VERY busy right now and I've got exams etc. Please respect my personal life and I hope that when you do read this interview, it's special!
Much love.

Okay, this annoys me.

You ever have them days where you'd just be sat in a class and your teacher happens to be like the head of the subject that they teach, but all of a sudden a crying teacher comes in and asks for help because their class is full of bastards who need to get some respect?! Not only does it disturb us from learning, but it just goes to show that some people need to get their heads out of the freaking clouds.
This happened today, in my English, now out of risk of sounding 'geekish' I need my English because, if none of you have noticed, I'd love a career in journalism, but that won't happen if my teacher is off telling some other class off for upsetting a teacher! The teacher who was crying is not a supply teacher but in fact a fully qualified teacher whose worked at my school for quite a while. She teaches me film and she's lovely, why anyone would upset her, I don't even know.
Now, no one has actually told me what had happened, all I know is that it revolves around one particular person and that they flipped a table. This person, well... Student, can be a lovely person when she wants to be, I've got nothing against her, but when she does get angry, oh God. That is all I'm going to say.
I need my English, and clearly so does she. I remember that last results day, there was tears everywhere because people had failed their exams, and I personally don't want to fail mine because otherwise I won't be accepted into college and on to the course I want. Sorry to rant about nothing really that important, it just really bugs me.
This very rarely happens at my school, but it annoys me when it does happen. I NEED MY GCSE'S! I don't really care if you don't care about yours, I care about mine. Please shut up, pipe down and get some respect for the lovelier teachers, at least.
Sorry for ranting, I'm done now.

Dave Brown- The Monkey Man interview- COMING SOON!

Good evening my dears, just an update here to let you know that interview is definitely going ahead! Dave is a lovely man and he plays Bollo from the mighty boosh, which makes him amazing! Anyway, you guys have given me your questions I have chosen the best 10 (with one exception, you'll see it when I post the interview).
All your questions were brilliant! It was so hard to choose, but I couldn't choose them all so I had a fellow boosh fan help me decide and we've chosen the best 10!
Only 5 questions are from me, the rest are from you, as well as a round of quick fire questions to finish off the interview! I'm looking forward to writing this interview up and posting it for you! It should be up either late Sunday evening or early Monday evening! The more you beg, the more you wait, that's all I'm going to say!
Enjoy this teaser!
Much love for now!

Dolly Wells- Lady of Luxury interview!

Hello fellow Jellyfoxers, as you know I, Jasmine, interview many people in the world of Boosh and I have been gifted an interview from the Luxury Lady herself Dolly Wells! She's starred in many of programs with Noel, such as the IT crowd, The Mighty Boosh and of course Luxury Comedy! You guys asked the questions and she's giving you the answers! Right here, right now! Read and enjoy!

1. What did you want to be when you were 16? @FleurNoire11 via twitter.
When I was 16 I'm pretty sure I wanted to be an actrass/comedian. It was what my dad did.
2. How did you get involved with Luxury Comedy? @StoopidarseJess via twitter.
I'd been good friends with Noel since we met on IT crowd. He'd said he was doing a show and wanted me to be in it but I didn't want to get too excited in case it didn't happen. And it did and he gave me the first draft of a script and I was so pleased and flattered and up for being a part of it. He is a wildly talented and special individjewel.
3. How did you get into your acting career? @EdgySatsumaKyna via twitter
I went to LAMDA and got an agent at the end of year performance
4. Was Luxury Comedy different from other projects you've been in? Sunflaash via tumblr.
Yes, LC was very different from other projects. First off we were all friends before we started so it felt collaborative. We were involved in our costumes- mine was based on a one armed dress I got in Paris- we got to rehearse and muck about and the whole process was really really fun and creative.
5. If you weren't acting, what other job would you want to do? @LeftyLefty95 via twitter.
I'd just be a writer, I think. Except I like being around people too much, so maybe a teacher too?
6. Is there any other projects that you'd love to be involved in besides those you are already involved in/ been in? My own question.
Since I got obsessed by Abigail's party when I was 16 I was desperate to work with Mike Lee. Sent endless letters, heard he replied to letters. He never did. His loss?! I would love to work with Julia Davis. Think she'd be brilliant. Oh there's loads and loads I'm still dying to do. Luckily. Be miserable if there wasn't.
7. What/who was your favourite person/thing to play in LC? @MarryLaNuit via twitter.
I loved playing 'Dolly' obviously. Once I'd got over using my own name! Loved being a chav, a leek, Raymond Boombox! Deer.. All of them. Really fun.
8. Who has been your favourite character to play (in Luxury Comedy or not)? Floppy-hump via tumblr.
I'm really enjoying the character I'm playing now in Some Girls. She's a freak. Can't tell you anymore.
9. What part of Luxury Comedy was most fun for you to film? @Rubberband_girl via twitter.
The drums! Loved playing the drums. And dancing. I remember when Tom, Mike and I done the floating around but at the end we couldn't stop laughing. Can't remember why. Noel was asleep on the floor, spread out like he'd fallen from a great height. That might of started it. It was all fun for me. I don't have to be racing around doing a million things like Noel and Nigel so I can just make silly jokes about David Jason to try and make Noel laugh while we sat at his desk.
10. What's it like working with Noel? Is he laid back during filming and what not? Courtney via Facebook
Noel is great fun to work with. Very generous and encouraging. It was quite full on for him as I said in 9. He'd have to think about music, scrips, costumes, painting everything etc so it was pretty hectic for him but we'd all sit around at lunch and piss about.
11. What/who was your favourite Luxury Comedy character? @Chloeecakes via twitter.
I don't have a favourite character I don't think. Loved Jellyfox, Dondylion, Tony Reason, Fantasy man. Joey Ramone being 'naked from the waist up' made me and my daughter laugh for weeks!

So there you guys have it! The Luxury lady herself has answered your questions! Sorry if I didn't include yours, I got sent in a lot of questions and could only pick so many! You can catch Dolly Wells in the Party episode of The Mighty Boosh, the dinner party episode of the IT crowd, Luxury Comedy and other amazing projects she has mentioned above!

Dolly Wells interview sneak preview;)

Hello my dear Jellyfoxers! As I am so lovely, and I am still awaiting for Dolly to reply to the remaining questions, I thought you guys may like a sneak preview. I've had fellow Luxury Comedy and Boosh fans begging me to put on a preview so I thought, why not? Here is her responses to question 1 and 2! Enjoy (:

1.What did you want to do when you were 16? @FleurNoire11 via twitter
When I was 16 I'm pretty sure I wanted to be an actress/comedian. It was what my dad did.


how did you get involved with luxury comedy? @StoopidArseJess via twitter
I'd been good friends with Noel since we met on IT crowd. He'd said he was doing a show and wanted me to be in it but I didn't want to get too excited in case it didn't happen. And then it did and he gave me the first draft of a script and I was so pleased and flattered and up for being a part of it. He's a wildly talented and special individjewel.


So there you guys have it, look forward to the rest of the interview, coming VERY soon, hopefully one time this week or next week. Stay tuned! It's going to be a luxury bomb!
Much love for now!

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- Series 1, ep 7- BBQ breakdown!

This is it guys! The final episode of series one of Luxury Comedy, but overall the BEST one! You've met all the characters, you know who they are and you have your favourites, but until I get to your comments about Luxury Comedy and favourite characters, for those of you who haven't yet seen episode 7, I'll tell you about it!
  Smooth, Noel, and Tony Reason debate about Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno- which team are you on? Personally I'm on Bryan Ferry's! Andy Warhol also uses Bryan Ferry's head for a kite, then gets jealous of Noel's kite- Tony Reason! The Audience plays fish finger jenga and has a malfunction thanks to Helen Daniels the hedgehog, so Doo rag has to call in Doo cloth to help The Audience out! Bryan Ferry and Brian Eno have a boxing fight! Joey Ramones on his usual adventures, he can't get to his gig as the trams broken down and he has no money for a taxi! Poor Joey! Fantasy man has to go through the Valley of the chavs and Noel accidently burns down the whole Luxury Comedy set after having what Smooth calls a 'BBQ breakdown!' They do the end credits A cappella too! It's amazing!
Noel has done such an amazing job creating this amazing series! There is definitely a second series underway so fear not! It may be in a different setting, it might not, all I know is that I'm still in awe at the whole thing! The characters were all beautifully planned out and created! Well done Nigel Coan for doing some amazing animation and well done to Noel, Dolly, Tom and Mike for amazing acting! The whole show has been absolutely phenomenal!
My favourite episode has to be episode 2 because the animation is beautiful and it's just so funny! My favourite characters have to be Daddy Push and Sgt Raymond Boombox's gash! They're amazing! @Booshannah9 says 'I absolutely loved Luxury Comedy, I never looked forward to a Thursday so much! I loved Dolly and Tony Reason best, they're so amazing!' Tony Reason is an amazing character! I agree! @Jordanneedham11 says 'Daddy Push' was her favourite character! I know where you're coming from! And @Beth_Noir11 says 'Luxury Comedy is amazing and my favourite character is fantasy man!' Isn't everyones?! He's amazing!
The soundtrack to Luxury Comedy is amazing as well! The Loose tapestries, as Noel would say, are genius! How does he fit it all in?! Writing songs for Luxury Comedy, writing Luxury Comedy, recording the songs, rehearsing and recording Luxury Comedy! It's just so wonderful! Congratulations Noel. I could NOT fault it at all! If it wasn't to your cup of tea, then fair enough, but I recommend you watch the whole series through first before you decide this!
If you haven't yet watched Luxury Comedy episode 7 click here (UK viewers only) to watch it. This will be my last Luxury Comedy review until series 2 comes out and I'm really looking forward to it! Noel has also hinted at a tour after series 2 has been released, so look forward to that too! I hope you lot have enjoyed my Luxury Comedy reviews! I will of course be reviewing other Noel related stuff as well as interviewing Dolly Wells, and other people you'd like me to interview! Keep in touch and please keep reading my reviews/interviews!

Coming soon

Hello fellow Jellyfox readers! As you all know, I've got an upcoming interview with Dolly Wells from Luxury Comedy and the IT crowd and the questions you sent me were wonderful! Thank you! I've chosen the best ones to ask her, and I've already had her answers for some. I've tweeted a snippit of one of the things she's told me so if you follow me on twitter go have a looksee!
Also as we all know, it was the last episode of series 1 of Luxury Comedy last night, so yes! You can look forward to a review of this, I'll also ask you guys your opinions on the show and who your favourite character has been throughout the series! Keep your eyes peeled my lovely jellytots!
Much love and all.
Have a maverllous weekend! Help stop Kony

HELP FIGHT KONY 2012

Hello fellow Jellyfoxers, as I'm sure you may (or may not have) heard about Joseph Kony, if you have I hope you've joined the campaign to stop him, if you haven't he's basically a Ugandan warlord kidnapping young African females as sexslaves and young African males as child soldiers. Sick I know, we live in a world like this unfortunately, it's a shame isn't it?
Anyway, there is this clip on youtube which explains all about the campaign. Uganda has as much of a right to freedom as places as America and England. Why aren't we asking our government to help us capture him? We have loads of people out there looking for Kony, but we need more.
Children as young as we are, are fighting for their lives in Uganda, but do we care?! No because all we care about is ourselves, our health and our power, but let me tell you this: it's OUR world and WE are ignoring people, just like US, who are giving the biggest cry for help, but we're too stuck up our arses to even listen to their constant cries.
We moan about education, we moan about jobs, we moan about our laptops and our phones dying. These children don't get an education, these children kill for their job and these children do NOT get the technology we have, why would they?! To Kony these children are just weapons. Think about it, if you were forced to kill your own family and kidnapped into a war you never wanted to be part of, how would you feel? If you tried to escape, your throat would be slit and you'd be left to die.
Now I'm not saying all of the worlds people haven't heard their cries because some people have and it sickens me to know that only a certain percentage of the world haven't heard about this man. Please if you haven't seen the video, here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc it shows you how you can help.
On April 20th 2012 I will go around my town on the night and cover my town with posters of Kony, and join the 'cover the night' protest. Please if you can, gather as many people, friends, family members, whoever on April 20th and 'Cover the Night' it's for a good cause and you WILL be making a difference in the world.
The video is a half hour long but trust me it is worth watching. The whole way through, and if you want to help stop Kony, please join the campaign, beg your parents, your grandparents, your friends, anyone you see to help stop this man. If this was England and some man was kidnapping children and forcing them to kill it'd be on the news straight away, so why isn't this?! Uganda have no form of media, no way of making us hear their cries, we've got to do it for them.
If my huge ramble about this, or that video hasn't made you bothered one bit, then you're clearly an awful human being. CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 5 ARE DYING. If that's not upsetting, then I don't know what is.

The Loose Tapestries

So the long awaited Loose Tapestries have finally released their Luxury Comedy soundtrack on soundcloud.com and it is like nothing I've ever heard before, and I'm sure you'll be amazed by the way these songs have been made. You can tell Sergio is part of this band as in the song 'Eyeball Seesaw' his voice sounds exactly like it did in the song 'Switchblade Smiles' by Kasabian.
This is a whole new genre of music, and your ears WILL enjoy it! It's actually beautiful. I'll link it to you my lovely Jellyfoxers. Go enjoy the musical madness that is The Loose Tapestries! I want your feedback too! So tumblr me iaskedforquavers.tumblr.com/ask or tweet me @iamthejellyfox and click here to enjoy music from the Loose Tapestries!
Much Love<3

Homophobes. It's the 21st century WAKE UP.

Hello Jellyfoxers. I'm going to be ranting again today! Yay! Enjoy!
My rant today is on Homophobic or people with NIMBY syndrome. (NIMBY stands for Not in my backyard, I'll explain further on in the rant ok) anyway, what is so wrong with being Gay/Bisexual/Pansexual anyway? It's who they are, who they like, not for you to judge.
Yeah, I'm a girl, I have a girlfriend. I myself am a bisexual/pansexual, are you going to judge me and stop reading this review now because I told you I'm bi/pan?! It's the 21st century! Wake up and smell the daisies. We have all this technology which back in the 19th/20th century would be classed as 'witchcraft' being gay back them was also classed as 'witchcraft' so why do people still feel repulsed about gay/bi/pan people?!
Honestly, I think no one is 100% straight, I bet at least once, you've felt something for someone of the same sex and it's nothing to be ashamed of, it doesn't make you bisexual or gay either, it makes you human. Why do we even use the word 'gay' for the technical term homosexual? Gay means happy, so by calling someone whon is gay 'gay' as an insult, you're calling them happy ergo making them happier than you- see the logic?
Okay, so now I'm moving on to NIMBY syndrome as my friends have experienced this- with them being gay/bisexual like me. NIMBY means 'not in my backyard' meaning they'll say stuff like 'awh, I don't mind gay people expressing themselves etc...' but when you tell them you're gay/bisexual or whatever they suddenly get all touchy, it's like 'I thought you didn't mind people gay?! Oh my God.' These people, in my opinion, are worse than being Homophobic because they're acting more judgmental, especially if they're one of your friends, it's awful.
Another thing that annoys me is when you finally come out people of your sexual orientation who may be straight say these 7 words and it's like, what the hell?! They say 'ew, you don't fancy me do you?!' When people say this to me I kick off! I'm sorry but I'm sure I have far better taste than you. Your face is orange, you backcomb your hair awfully and you wear bright pink lipstick. Fuck off flattering yourself. I will NEVER fancy you girls.
Why is it as well that a girl can't have short hair without being called a 'dyke' or a 'lesbian' I mean what?! No. That doesn't work. At all. I've got shoulder length hair and I'm still bisexual/pansexual. Hair does NOT determine how straight/gay you are. Same goes for the male gender as well. Some 'straight' Homophobic people need to grow some balls and say to someone who is gay 'hey, I respect your sexuality the same way you respect mine' It's not as if gay people go up to straight people and start disrespecting their sexual orientation just because they're not gay.
Gay pride people! I hope at least one straight person who reads this will go to a gay pride this year to support gay beliefs even though their straight.
Much love for now though fellow Jellyfoxers

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- Episode 6- Tiger with Chlamydia

This episode is the second to last episode of Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy (sad face) but it was indeed a good one. Dolly and Tom are back as their typical characters Dolly the German eco trendy and Tom as famous historical painter, Andy Warhol, and of course you've got Smooth and Noel.
In this episode we've got Dondylion, who finally escapes the zoo! Andy Warhol plays a key in this scene which sets Dondylion to his freedom. Soon after Dondy's free with David Lee Roth, he soon gets hit by a lot of cars. Poor Dondy!
Sgt Raymond Boombox tells us about the time he had long straight hair, but it got trapped in a refrigerator whilst trying to catch a very famous serial killer; The Brooklyn Ice box frothler so he got a perm to stop that. Joey Ramone is going to CBGB’s to do a gig with the ramones. Grandma gives Joey Ramone a oat biscuit but he has a wheat allergy and his head explodes. Grandma gives him a biscuit for a head instead.
There is also a tiger going around giving people chlamydia by touching them with his red arrow penis so to avoid it, you need to wear a 'Chlamydia helmet'. Diamond Back is back in this episode singing a song about his Flamingo and ends up arguing with Tony Reason who's producing his song. A hammerhead named Todd Lagoona swoops in to insult Tony Reason and give him some helpful 'tips' or criticism about music producing and Roy Circles tells us about the time he came to the UK with his Spanish brothers.
Noel ends up with 'Chlamids' as he calls it from the tiger with Chlamydia when he's practicing his Australian accent, whereas Smooth,  who has one of those helmets mentioned earlier, ends up getting Shin Splints, Dolly ends up becoming part of the New York police after Boombox touches her with his yellow arrow penis and Boombox also gets Gonorrhea after Tony Reason touches him with his purple arrow penis.
My personal favourite character from this episode is definitely Todd Lagoona, I find his argument with Tony Reason so funny! If you watched it last night, you'd understand! Next week I'll tell you who my favourite characters are and why they're my favourite. I'll also probably ask you guys your favourite characters as well, but that's next week. I will be honest though, we have had better weeks, it was mad and I loved it, but it wasn't as mad as last weeks.
My beautiful twitteroonie people have also given me their thoughts. @Chloeecaks says 'Really good  madness' I suppose that's the only 'normal' way to describe it! @ChloandAUnicorn says 'Chlamydia has never been so funny!' That is so true! And @LyndsayT99 says 'I was kind of disappointed about Last night's Luxury Comedy episode! I feel terrible though because I adore Luxury Comedy' I know what you mean Lyndsay, I was kind of disappointed too!
So if you HAVEN'T seen this weeks Luxury Comedy, waste NO time! You need to see it, a tiger with Chlamydia, what more do you need? Click here to go to NFLC 4oD (U.K viewers only) and if YOU want to tell me who your favourite Luxury Comedy characters are and why, tweet me @iamthejellyfox, tumblr me iaskedforquavers.tumblr.com/ask or email me at Jazzehxd@live.co.uk.
Now, go frolic off in the Luxury Comedy meadows and look forward to the last episode of Luxury Comedy series 1 which will be aired at 10pm, E4 on Thursday 9th March. If you want more Noel Fielding this week, tune into the NME awards tomorrow evening at 11.55pm on Channel 4. Enjoy the weekend fellow Jellyfoxers.

We all wanna be in the IT crowd

Okay, so I'm going to merge 2 things into one here. Ones a rant and the other is a lovely bit of writing on the IT crowd. (The rants about chavs, hence the title) So it's a mixture between ranting about wanting to be in the 'IT' crowd at school and me bumming the IT crowd Telly show!
 I'll start with the lovely bit first okay! I am a huge IT crowd fan. I love it! I love Moss, I love Roy, I love Jen and I love Richmond! But I have to say, it's a shame to see it come to an end, truly is, it's funny and I love Roy's little catchphrase 'have you tried turning it on and off again?' It never gets old!
All the episodes of the IT crowd are hilarious! I love that chemistry between Richard Ayoade and Chris O'dowd, they're like brothers and Katherine Parkinson is like their mother or babysitter who seems to keep the boys in order and is sometimes ashamed of them!
My favourite IT crowd episode has to be the dinner party. Not only has it got Richmond in it, but the Episode itself is so funny! Dolly Wells A.K.A Miss Dolly as I call her, features in this episode as model Paula who just recently had a car accident. I really recommend this episode for anyone who considers watching the IT crowd because it's just so funny!
I'll explain the characters a little bit more now. Moss is the geeky one who seems to google everything to get a correct answer. In one episode he goes on countdown and later on gets challenged by a member of club 8+ (a countdown club Moss gets into) called Negative one. Roy is the lazy one who seems to love computer games and when Jen first arrives in the IT department, Roy doesn't like it, but she soon grows on him. He likes to lay back and do nothing but take calls and tell people to turn their computer off and on again! He's pretty funny!
Jen is the uptight, friendly one, she's very organised and in demand with everything. She's not really a computer geek though so Roy has to help her learn about computers and lastly Richmond, the goth, he's not really liked by Moss and Roy so they keep him behind this red door. The only reason he's been put down there is because he insulted his boss at his fathers funeral, by accident of course! He used to be really high up in the Reynholms Industries until he became a goth.
My twitter followers seem to love the show too! @Nell_Avenal says 'I love it especially cause first I saw Noely there, in the dinner at Jens house' @MarryLaNuit says 'It's a great comedy show and Noels just the icing on the cake!' and @Reeya27 says 'It's one of the funniest shows I've seen. It's just fantastic' I agree! It is fantasic.



Anyway onward with the ranting. So I know this has nothing to do with the IT crowd- TV show, this is to do with the 'IT' crowd at school and by 'IT' I don't mean I.T. I mean them prissy girly girls who go around looking bright orange, wearing their skirts as belts and backcombing their hair so bad, it almost looks as if they've been dragged threw a hedge backwards by a hedgehog, you all know the girls I'm on about right? Good, great, fantastic, moving on.
Is there any need to talk so fucking loud that Australia, the other side of the world can hear you?! No one really cares if you've 'chipped a nail' or 'Jake won't go out with you' is there any bloody wonder why he won't date you?! Seriously, do any of you people care? Cause I sure as hell don't. I have my own problems to worry about without you causing me a headache because you and your girlfriends are screaming down the corridors with your pauls boutique bags and Jackets!
Another thing as well, is it necessary to make your face so fucking bright it almost blinds everyone who's walking past you! If I wanted to see an annoying, talking satsuma I'd watch the annoying orange on youtube, no boy will ever want to date you if you look like him are they?! Get a clue, a little make up, that's fine, but making yourself look as if you banged a pack of crayola, that's just wrong.
Get a face wipe and stop caking your faces up! You wonder why you have so many spots?! Then you get those people who you thought were your friends changing all of a sudden to be in this 'IT' crowd for the popularity. It's annoying! The people in the 'IT' crowd aren't the kind of friend ANYONE wants to have! They're rude little bitches who get laid by lads who carry around chlamydia and crabs. It's disgusting.



Anyway yeah, that's been my review on the IT crowd and my rant on the 'IT' girls you see in EVERY school across the country. I hope you enjoyed reading it because I enjoyed writing it. Goodnight.

Reality TV shows- GET SOME NEW IDEAS!

Okay, so everyone enjoys watching the tellybox every now and then, but have you ever picked up a remote and examined each program that you've watched and compared them to other shows? Let me explain myself, you've heard of the shows The only way is Essex and Geordie Shore haven't you? Who hasn't?! Anyway if you watch them both they're the same program just in different areas and with different people. All they show us is what people are like in them places! Talking satsumas who's vaginas are open 24/7 to chavy lads who need to show more respect.
People say that they want to see real people on the TV but they only want to see real people so they can criticize them and make themselves feel better about their life because people aren't laughing about you or talking about your antics because they're too busy gossiping about a TV show. TV is boring now, you get the occasional good show but they're drowned out by the dull reality shows that TV executives put on our TV because that's what people want.
When people get what they want, all these reality shows on the TV, all they do is complain about how there's too many reality shows on TV. I have one thing to say to them people STOP REQUESTING THEM! Honestly in my opinion I think we need more comedy shows on the TV, not sitcoms based in a house or a workplace, but sketch shows. We need more comedy in this world and people need a sense of humor.
We're in bad times right now, with the ressession going on, we don't need reality shows of people getting drunk and trying to impress people who are watching the show, because they want to be known and they want to be liked by everyone, but honestly the majority of the population want to punch them in the face.
Big brother, don't get me started on big brother, I mean, people who are famous from big brother shouldn't be famous at all. They don't deserve to be famous, they applied for a TV show, if I applied for a show, let's say Jim'll fix it was still on TV (R.I.P Jimmy Saville) and I applied, I wouldn't be in the magazines or anything, so why are they in the news?!
It just doesn't make sense, we need comedy shows on TV, something new, something bright! We need something which will make us forget, even for just half an hour, about the dark times our country's in. Geordie Shore, TOWIE, Big Brother, is this what our society is coming to? Watching normal people like ourselves make fools of themselves because we can laugh at them and forget about our own pathetic lives by judging someone who gets hammered on TV to become popular?!

Noel Fielding's scribbling's of a Madcap Shambleton review

Noel Fielding's scribbling's of a madcap shambleton is to be specific a surreal art book full of his art from the past 5 or so years according to Noel. The book is full of drawings and paintings he's done, most of them have a story behind them which of course Noel tells us about. He also has a lot of drawings of Luxury Comedy characters in his book- SGT Boombox for example.
There are also little chapter things in the book one of them is called 'Bryan Ferry VS the Jellyfox' another is called 'These people are stupid' and my personal favourite is one dedicated to Elvis Presley called 'a liquid flask of Elvis'. In the middle of the book he's got a page full of fans who sent TVO their picture to be part of Noels tiny children which is really cute in my opinion and if you are one of his tiny children, congratuwelldone!
In the front of the book Dexter Dalwood, Noels first fine art teacher has wrote a couple of words about Noel and Noel also introduced himself. He says that he was a shy child and that art helped him break the shy mold and that this book was his way of combining comedy and art together!
In all honesty my favourite painting would have to be, by far, 'Love stick' if you don't know which painting I am on about it is page 214-215 in scribbling's of a madcap shambleton. Dave Brown, Noel Fielding's best friend from university and Bollo in the mighty boosh done the majority of the photography for the book and put the book together for Noel!
On twitter @AlineTweets91 says 'It's visually, overwhelmingly stunning. Everything fits together perfectly. It's only fault is that there's a last page' agreed! I never wanted the book to end! It was so colourful. @TabbyCatxoxo says 'I really liked it, t'was a unique insight into his mind. Although it was nearly taken off me cause some parts are rude' Agreed, a few pages are VERY rude and may require parental consent so if you are going to buy this book and are under 14 years of age, you may need to ask a parent to buy you it and @Nell_Avenal says 'to be honest, I didn't read it all, but my heart hurts, he's so happy and I didn't do it cause my heart hurts'
So there you go, good reviews all round and if you're like me and are lucky to have it signed, or be one of his tiny children, treasure it! If you don't have your copy of scribbling's it's available in waterstones right now for £10 (UK readers only) if you are outside the UK you can always go to Amazon where there will defiantly be some copies available. Get yours today!

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- Mash Potato Utopia!

In this episode of Luxury Comedy all your favourites return! That's right, Sgt Raymond Boombox, Daddy push and Dondylion are back, with Roy Circles and Ice cream eyes. No Fantasy man, Dolly or Andy Warhol though, but some new characters have been thrown into the mix and this week Noels mixed it up a bit, with Sgt
Boombox in a scene with Noel and the new french Character Ian Guage!
This week Noel is tortured by a dolphin bomber, Raymond Boombox tells us about the singing fishfinger- single baked bean, what could it mean? Secret Peter tells us where Alan Hansen has been hiding, Dondylion befriends a monkey named Ravi who writes a postcard for Dondylion's mum, City gent blames ice cream eyes again- oh ice cream eyes. The Audience and Doo Rag make mash potato revolvers and sing about mash potato eurovision, Roy Circles tells us about the time he worked in south Africa, Ian Guage sings for us in french the words 'do you love me' and a slice of toast replies 'non' He also cried chocolate tears and Daddy Push finds a remote control car.
A LOT happens in this episode, but I will admit, this is my favourite ep so far! So much happens in one half an hour slot and it's amazing! You get to meet Secret Peter a lot more and this episode is so hard to explain, there's just so much that happens! Dondylion is fantastic, Sgt Boombox is fantastic and Noel get's threatened by a squirrel what more could you ask for on a Thursday night?!
I do miss Dolly and Andy Warhol in this episode though, but overall this episode is pretty funny! My favourite character- The Gash is back with Sgt Boombox which made me and a lot of other viewers happy! The Gash for those who don't know who he is, it the Sgt's knife wound who insults him.
If I had to rate this episode out of 5, I'd give this episode a 6! Zacky Purple on facebook says Luxury Comedy is 'Quite strange but very funny' which is true, @Fleurnoire11 on twitter said 'It played havoc with my senses with all the fresh madness and that's exactly why I loved it' and @SttopidarseJess says 'It was crazy this week. I loved the fast pace and although I missed Dolly and Andy, I loved the mix of characters! <3 Dondylion'
This episode was the most surreal episode yet, it's hard to put it into words, personally I blame ice cream eyes, but you should go watch it for yourself! If you haven't seen it yet and wish to see it click here to go to 4OD (UK readers only) and hopefully NickFromFulham has uploaded the new episode of Luxury Comedy on his youtube channel for all you international viewers!

The Jellyfox Meets the Fieldmouse

So I needed something interesting to write so I thought I'd tell you lovely readers about the time I met Noel Fielding. It was in October- October 15th to be exact and it was in Bonny Scotland (Sconny Botland as I call it). I had won 2 wristbands from the TVO competition which they held for the signing- he was promoting his new book 'The Scribblings of a Madcap Shambleton' and he'd decided to come do a signing in Edinburgh.
I was with my friend, Effy, and we'd woken up at 5am to get ready for a 2 hour train journey at 7! I was wearing grey skinnies, my knee high trainers, my pokemon top, a FAKE fur coat and a FAKE fur hat. I had also drawn whiskers on my face as well.
Me and Effy befriended 2 scottish girls, Rachael and Kerry who we stood at the front of the queue with, yes we were at the front and they'd told us they'd been waiting since 11pm! Anyway the doors of Urban Outfitters (where the signing was) opened at 11am and me and Effy got placed on the stairs, fairly near the front of the signing desk of which Noel will be sat at after he painted the window.
Me and Effy also got given a copy of Scribblings for winning the TVO comp which was amazing! Anyway at around quarter past 12 Noel and Dave emerged from the lower floor of the high street shop and EVERYONE screamed with delight! Noel was wearing his bright yellow 'I <3 art' onsie as seen in episode 2 of Luxury Comedy! Noel said 'I feel like a giant tellytubby' which made us giggle
He painted what I think was him and Dave attached to a plant pot, and then lot's of little boosh skeleton things at the bottom of the window, it looked like this.


Isn't it amazing?! I thought so when I saw it! Anyway once Noel and Dave had completed this amazing painting they left so Noel could clean up and have something to eat, everyone was beginning to become impatient until we heard a cheer from the people at the top of the stairs and the signing had began! By the time me and Effy had got to meeting Noel my eyes were streaming and I couldn't breathe! Noel even sat me in his chair to help me calm down which made me VERY happy indeed!
After I had calmed down I'd shown Noel my drawing iof 'Paul the Flamingo Horse' which he LOVED and I proposed to him with a bounty, he said yes of course. I recall him saying that I looked like a gone wrong huskey and that he thought I was cute and had an amazing fashion sense! Dave was really kind too! He gave out haribos to everyone and was geniunely nice to me when I was having my panic attack!
We also got a photo with Noel, we got told off for standing behind the desk and as I stood next to Noel I felt his warm breath against my neck as he whispered 'You broke the rules, but I don't mind, you're lovely' and so here is the photo

Me, Effy and Noel! (He wore that top on the episode of buzzcocks when they painted their faces;))

Boosh tour rumor- Denied

So I asked the TVO team about the boosh tour and I can confirm that it is NOT going to happen, I did NOT say anywhere in my previous post that the boosh tour was a go. Rumors were spread and I did say for people NOT to go get their hopes up, so sorry for the disappointment but there is no boosh tour.
I did say Noel would be busy with his second series of Luxury Comedy and Julian is busy doing some theartical work, the boosh film won't be coming out for a good few years either.
For now enjoy Luxury Comedy, or if you're not a fan of that, rewatch the Mighty Boosh.
Much Love

Boosh tour rumors... Hmmm

Okay, so lately I've heard a fair few rumors of The Mighty Boosh, that they may be touring again, this being said, Noel also has to work on the 2nd series of Luxury Comedy, unless he puts it off for a little while, but then again why would he because he's LITERALLY just started the series and it's got a lot of good reviews, some bad, but mainly good reviews- especially from me!
Anyway on with this: The Mighty Boosh touring again would be MAGNIFICENT for Boosh and Luxury Comedy fans and I would NOT be unhappy about this, but I just don't think Noel should push himself into doing lot's of things at once like writing a boosh show whilst filming luxury comedy and rehearsing the show at the same time! He'll just make himself stressed (I know it's not my concern but I'm still concerned.)
If the tour IS going to happen- don't get your hopes up until TVO confirm it guys- it's rumored to start late 2012/early2013 and I'm sure Noel or Julian or TVO will announce it to us, until then guys, DON'T get your hopes up and DON'T pester Noel, Ju or TVO because that's just mean.
If the tour goes on, I'll let you know, but for now, I give you my love.

The Mighty Boosh live- review

The Mighty Boosh live was the first tour they'd done in a long time, before the T.V show they used to preform on stage all the time doing stuff like 'Arctic Boosh' but this time the audience and the fanbase had grown so they were preforming in front of large amounts of people in huge arenas.
The main story in The Mighty Boosh live is called 'The Ruby of Kokundo' basically, Naboo the enigma (Mike Fielding) has been killed by a cockney geezer called The Hitcher (Noel Fielding) meaning that Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) and Vince Noir (Noel Fielding) who are close friends with Naboo, have to go searching for this Ruby of Kokundo as it's the only way they can save their friend.
Bollo (Dave Brown) Naboos familiar tells Vince and Howard they could find the Ruby in Spain or the Arctic Tundra so Howard ventures to the Arctic whilst Vince explores Spain. Someone tells Vince that to find the ruby of Kokundo he has to go see Rudy Van DiSarzio (Julian Barratt) who lives deep in the forest of doom and when he meets Rudy he has to complete a series of tests before Rudy tells Vince the ruby's in the Arctic.
He meets up with Howard in the Arctic after an Arctic creature gives Vince the ruby and they head back to save the shaman Naboo. The scenario is similar to the Tundra episode of the boosh in series one but lot's of VERY funny and improvised material in between of course.
At the end of the Boosh live, they all leave Howard on stage alone with a present as they've all gone out for a drink, and who better to come bursting out of the box but Old Gregg (Noel Fielding) himself who of course is mad about Howard, the two burst into everyone's favourite boosh song 'Love Games'
The Mighty Boosh live is probably the funniest on stage thing yet, Future Sailors included in that one too! You can't beat a bit of Julian Barratt in sexy underwear or Noel Fielding wearing something so short, everything almost hangs out! (Referring to Future Sailor's Sunflash) and my twitter followers seem to agree!
@MissDarkness2 says 'I love Boosh Live.. Future Sailors tour, not as good.' @Shreweyes says 'Is that a trick question? It's completely genius, probably my favourite' and @Monkeey_Edwards tells the Jellyfox 'It is absolutely glorious! By the end I am crying with laughter. It is probably one of the best comedy tours ever' and too right it is!
The Mighty Boosh live is a treat for the eyeballs and if you haven't seen it yet, stop wasting your time reading other peoples thoughts and watch it for yourself! You're really missing out if you don't watch it.

Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- episode 4: Phone cake

This episode of Luxury Comedy is probably one of my favourites, in all honesty, I mean they get better EVERY week. In this episode of Luxury Comedy, you've got your usual: Noel, Dolly, Andy Warhol and Smooth but you've also got Fantasy Man whom this week goes looking for the dream tiger but ends up getting beaten up by a chav, Tony Reason talks about the time he worked with Bon Jovi, Ice Cream Eyes who gets blamed again by the City Gent, Roy Circles talks about why he was banned from Christmas with his family, Secret Pete who has a new game show on channel boomboom and gets Noel involved, Joey Ramone goes to the beach with his mother and the aliens who come down to earth and invade someones garden, one of the aliens falls in love with a garden decoration deer creature.
In this episode Smooth pranks Noel by replacing their phone with a cake so when the phone rings it crumbles in Noel's hand, so they play the same prank on Andy Warhol. Smooth and Dolly go to Judo but switch to Karate with all them small sketches in between. This episode wasn't as weird as the previous ones but it was more surreal, in a good way of course. My favourite character changes every week and this week it'll have to be Mike Fielding as the alien!
The way the scenes were planned out was amazing too! It was like artwork, Luxury Comedy is basically art interpreted in a comedy way, which is why I love it! Comedy and art go together but not many people understand this. Comedy is and always has been visual art, the way people move when they're talking and such, Luxury Comedy just brought this to a whole new level!
On twitter @Ally_Boombox says 'It's magic! It's like visiting a fantasy word every time you watch it' and Ally, I agree, it's like you've entered Noel Fielding's brain! It's fantastical. Some people seemed pretty upest when Fantasy man got beaten up for example @Nell_Avenal says 'Poor Fantasy Man, I almost cried' I think Fantasy Man has won everyone's heart as he's so simple but then she also says 'It was great do you not agree? At first I was shocked, but then I remembered, that it is Noel'- too true! Noels mind is pretty amazing! @MadcapChild tells the Jellyfox 'Not for the easily confused, hilarious and has a childish charm' and @Beth_Noir11 says 'I think it gets better every week, Noel is a genius for coming up with this magic.'
I really recommend this episode as it's so funny, the others are funny too, but this one- in my opinion- was the funniest one yet! I can't WAIT to see what Noel gives us next week! If you missed this weeks Luxury Comedy click here (for UK viewers only)

Tomorrow!

Tomorrow there WILL be a review of Noel Fielding's Luxury Comedy- episode 4 Phone Cake. Noel has announced that Roy Circles and Fantasy man are both back in this episode! So look forward to my review on this tomorrow! (:
Much Love Jasmine the Jellyfox x

Requested- Sweet Review!

James Pilkington's 'Sweet' is a short film about a man named Pete Sweet's love life. Pete is played by none other than Noel Fielding and he's constantly narrating the film as it goes along. His best friend is called Stitch played by Julian Barratt and they're on a night out with Dave (Toby Walton) who has brought his imaginary sister, Poppy, along with him. Her and Pete end up falling in love even though she's imaginary. Pete Describes Poppy as short dumpy and ginger, whereas his 'type' is tall, skinny and brunette.
There is a LOT of sex scenes in Sweet, so not appropriate for younger Noel Fielding fans, anyway, one day out of the blue Poppy tells Pete that she's pregnant causing Pete to overreact so Poppy puts their sex life 'on hold' which annoys Pete. He tries masturbating and phone sex but none of that worked, until he met Daisy. Pete then starts seeing Daisy behind Poppy's back whilst Poppy was still ignoring him.
Poppy then comes clean to Pete by telling him she only told him she was pregnant to see how he'd react, but he continued with the affair anyway.
Stitch, his so called best friend, tells Daisy about the affair causing Pete, Poppy and Daisy to have a 3 way relationship, until Daisy runs away with Poppy, causing Pete to have a fight with Stitch but in the end, Pete and Stitch become lovers.
For a 10 minute film this surely packs a lot in about Pete's life, people who are fans of Noel Fielding adore this film as there's a lot of clips where Noel is almost naked. You dirty Perverts you. This film is a funny film as well as it's about a guy with an imaginary girlfriend- in real life if you saw a guy talking to thin air, you'd think they were mad, which is why this films so fun.
This review was requested by an anonymous source on my tumblr and they sort of gave me their opinion on it, they said: 'I'm not too sure what I thought about Pete Sweet, all I know is that at the end of it, I was slightly turned on' and as always, my twitter followers have given me their opinion on the film. @Steeeelxox says 'hilarious, would've been better if Noel was completely naked though' which made me laugh and @MarrylaNuit tells me 'It's one of the best things ever... Does that make me a 'parfart'' I'm afraid it does.
Sweet is a good film, it's just not a good film for families to sit down and watch together, I recommend it, but only if you're 13+ because any younger, would just be... Well watch it and judge for yourself!

Sue Denim- RiD and Sue Denim solo project interview- Enjoy

Sue Denim, of all girl indie-dance-electro-chanson-rock trio Robots In Disguise, has recorded her debut solo album. It's called And The Unicorn, and features songs about bikes, books, boys and unicorns. There are vague plans to release it in May - watch this space!

So I asked Sue Denim a few questions which are musically based. Sue is singer and bassist for RiD and she's also working on her new solo project which is self titled. Enjoy.

1. What made you so interested in singing and bass? 
I have loved singing since I was a kid, but I didn't start playing the bass until I joined my first band, a year before Robots In Disguise started.

2. Who would you say musically your main influences are and why?
 Musically, my influences are all over the place. I love everything and nothing! I am influenced by my  family, my dad played folk guitar and ran the local folk club and sang folk songs all the time, then I also loved The Beatles (half my family are from Liverpool, it made sense), pop music, and later indie and dance... at the moment I am listening to a lot of Absolute 80s radio!!!! 

This is a tough question but one that we are ALWAYS asked! 

In fact, could you just read a load of interviews and collate the answer from them? If you would!



3. When did you and Dee decide to make the band ‘Robots in disguise’?

Me and Dee were in an all-girl 4 piece garage rock band very briefly in 1999 before splitting off from that to form Robots In Disguise which we launched into the universe in 2000.



4. If you weren’t a singer/bassist what would you’ve been instead?

If I weren't a singer/bassist, I'd be a singer/guitarist/one-woman-band, and if not that, I would be a painter, and if not that, I would like to be a bird of paradise. 



5. Where’s your favourite place to play in Europe?

I love playing in Istanbul - the crowds are great.. but most of all, they have HAMMAMS!



6. What’s your favourite genre of music?

I don't have a favourite genre of music but I could make one up for you... how about Hammam-rock?



I wish Sue good luck for her solo project, to hear one on her songs click the following link: http://soundcloud.com/thevelvetonion/sue-the-unicorn-brewster

Chris Brown- why are we forgiving him?!

Chris Brown, aged 22 writes rap and hip hop songs for the younger generation such as Yeah x3 and with you, however in 2008 he was arrested for domestic abuse on ex girlfriend Rihanna, which caused him to get a LOT of bad press which he deserved in all honesty. In 2009 he posted a two minute apology to Rihanna and his fans on his official youtube channel and now he's suddenly loved again by the nation.
Correct me if I'm wrong but let's say some random citizen was in the paper for abusing their wife/girlfriend/husband or boyfriend they'd get lots of hate all over the world which quite frankly is unfair. Why do we treat celebrities as if they're superior to normal humans, they are NOT.
Chris Brown's fan girls say 'I'd happily let Chris Brown beat me up'- so hang on, if your boyfriend had beaten you, you'd leave him but if you were dating Chris Brown and he'd beaten you, you'd stay, I don't see the logic here.
In 2011 he had an interview on Good morning America and the interviewer asked Brown about Rihanna causing him to become violent in the dressing room during a commercial break. Last night he tweeted 'HATE ALL U WANT BECUZ I GOT A GRAMMY now! That's the ultimate FUCK OFF!' I'm sorry Chris Brown but how is you winning a Grammy a 'fuck off' and your grammer? For Christ sake you're 22 years old, and you've got fans who could be 10 years old, for them to read this... It's disgraceful and then he talks about rappers doing drugs?
As talented as he may be (I personally disagree with this but it's what you like) it doesn't stop him from being a right dickhead, he beats up woman and that's all I see him as, a woman beater.

Gemma Hill- RiD drummer interview, enjoy

Hello Gemma,  I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions regarding your music playing, RiD and how you got into drumming



1. What made you so interested in drumming?

I can't really remember! I started playing the violin when I was 4 and I was really into pop music from that age. When I was a few years older my mum showed me a list of instruments I could learn at school and the drums seemed like a good idea. I remember thinking that it would be cool because there weren't any others girls in my school who played them. I was really aware of Evelyn Glennie (percussionist) and I loved The Bangles so maybe it just seemed like a fun thing to do that was a bit unusual.

2. Who would you say musically your main influences are and why?

My influences are really wide. I've always mainly loved pop, rock and Motown but I grew up playing percussion for orchestras, brass bands, steel bands and pretty much anything that came along. Because music is my job I have to play with all kinds of different styles of music and not be opposed to any of them (I draw the line at metal though!) and so I'm influenced heavily by whoever I'm working with at the time. When I was growing up I loved Michael Jackson, Madonna, Kylie and Stevie Wonder. 

3. You drum for Robots in Disguise, do you drum for any other bands as well or just RiD?

I'm very fortunate to play drums as my job so I work with lots of people at the same time and I'm always auditioning or on the look out for anyone else who might need a drummer! I'm currently playing for RiD, a new artist in London called Any O'Neill, a 4 part vocal harmony and ukelele rock covers band called The Tourettes and a stunningly brilliant folk artist from Wiltshire called Matthew Kilford. In the last few months I've done TV work for Cher Lloyd, Cee Lo Green, and Frankie Cocozza, Janet Devlin and Marcus Collins on X Factor and I'm waiting to hear back from a big pop audition I went for yesterday so fingers crossed... I've got more info about bands I've worked with at www.gemmadrums.com. 

4. If you weren't a professional drummer what would you of like to have been instead?

I used to want to be a journalist...I get to do that as well now because I do interviews with famous drummers for a UK drum website, www.mikedolbear.com. Then I wanted to be a drum teacher and now I do that too! I often think it would be really fun to be a make up artist for TV and films. The people who do that are amazing and they must meet all sorts of people every day!

5. What other instruments can you play or would be interested in playing?

I play orchestral percussion (xylophone, timpani and all the bits and bobs that go along with that), I sing and I've just started learning bass guitar. I'd love to be able to sit at a piano and play tunes for people to sing to but I just can't get it. I find it hard practising something new because I feel guilty that I should be spending the time on my drums!

6. what's your favourite country to play in Europe?

Anywhere that is warm and sunny and has good food! With RiD I've played in Istanbul 3 times now and I love it there; it has beautiful buildings, the people are really welcoming and we like spending time in the hammam (Turkish bath) and being completely relaxed. We played in Montalcino in Italy last year and that was gorgeous as well. So is the South of France... I can't choose one place! I'm extremely lucky to go to places that I would probably not visit if it wasn't for the work that I do so every trip is special in it's own way.

 7. What's your favourite genre of music?

I love motown - the history behind the genre is fascinating and the musicians involved in it had something really special, plus the music is catchy and you can sing/dance/clap to it. If I'm feeling a bit under the weather I listen to '(Love is like a) heat wave' by Martha Reeves and The Vandellas and everything is ok again!

I hope you enjoy reading this interview with drummer Gemma Hills, so like she said, go to www.gemmadrums.com for more information about her work (:

Jedward are underrated

Jedward, two Irish twins named John and Edward (if that wasn't obvious) aged 20 years old came 6th in xfactor 2009 yet they're bigger than the 2009 winner Joe Mcelderry so that's clearly saying something. Jedward come from Dublin- northern Ireland and have covered some songs like 'I want candy' and 'all the small things' they also sang for Ireland in Eurovision and got Ireland the BEST score they've had since 2000, they also came 8th all together, which was pretty amazing and they've also entered Eurovision 2012!
Jedward get a lot of hate because they're not the normalist of bands but that's what makes them so amazing! The hair, the bright outfits they wear and the way they're always so hyper and happy. I think that's why people don't like Jedward because they're too hyper for people to handle but I think Jedward have something, they've DEFIANTLY got the entertainment spirit which is what people need nowadays.
Jedward are also known for their huge hair- which I might add is pretty amazing. They're just two young boys looking to entertain and sing for people, what's so bad about that? They've got more talent than Justin Bieber and 1 direction. Jedward are so underrated and judged because they enjoy having fun, why? Is this really what the worlds came to? Jedward are talented and fun, they deserve the credit 1D and Bieber get.

The thing you've all been waiting for- Lliana Bird interview



I emailed Lliana Bird (Xfm DJ) and asked her a few simple questions about Radio, her favourite artists/songs, and how YOU can get into radio... Enjoy. (:


Hey Birdy, just a few simple questions about being your job and how people can 
become a Radio DJ if they wish (: 

 1. What made you aspire to be a Radio DJ and what motivated you to achieve this?

i've always been a massive music lover and i had a job for a while doing PR for bands but i really hated the work and didn't like not having an actual product of my own. I wanted a job where I could create something that others could enjoy and i've always been a big talker, so radio seemed the perfect option.  

2. Who would you say your main influences are and why?

Radio wise it would have to be Lauren Laverne - when I first started on work experience I did spent some time with her on her breakfast show and i was blown away by how quick witted, savvy, funny and musically clued up she was. She made me realise that its not just men who can get the big jobs in radio, or who are allowed to express their personalities on air. A lot of women in radio are there as sidekicks to the main male presenter and tend to giggle a lot and make the men look good. Lauren was nothing like that, and it was incredibly inspiring for me. 

I have a lot of other influences in the music, film and art worlds but that would take pages to answer!

 

3. What are your top 3 songs and who are your top three artists?

I hate this...because it really is sophie's choice! 
I would definitely have to include Syd Barrett 'Terrapin', Henry Mancini 'Moon River', Black Lips 'Dirty Hands' and Camille Saint-Saens 'Aquarium' from Carnival of The Animals. 

Artists....aaahhh....so so hard... i couldn't pick just 3 when xfm asked me, this was the list i sent them: The Velvet Underground, Peggy Lee, Black Lips, Henry Mancini, The Kills, Francoise Hardy, Blur, Lucy Pearl, Patti Smith, Buddy Holly, Camille Saint-Saens, Love, Kevin Ayers, Tame Impala, Syd Barrett, Medelssohn, Meat Puppets, The Flaming Lips, Joni Mitchell 

4. If you weren't a radio DJ what would you've been instead?

Well i already do a few other things - I act in theatre productions as much as i can, i trained as a silversmith so i make jewellery as well, and I produce plays when I can....(oh dear, I'm clearly a total jack of all trades, master of none! haha ) but one thing I hope to do in the future is train as a psychotherapist. I've done a bit of training already but hopefully i can continue and get my doctorate one day.  

5. Name someone you'd love to interview on your show but haven't been given the chance yet and why?

Syd Barrett, he was an incredible poet, a true genius, he wrote my favourite lyric of all time, but sadly that could never happen now. 

6. Who's been your favourite guest(s) so far and why?

I interviewed Daft Punk once (without their helmets on!) and they so rarely give interviews, and so rarely without covering up their faces, and I spent a few hours with them just talking about everything and anything. That was a really special experience and they were incredibly interesting and intelligent guys as well which always helps! Iggy was amazing as well, he's just such a huge life force. 

7. What advice/tips would you give to those who'd love to be in your shoes one day? 

Work experience, work experience, work experience! You can always get experience on community radio stations, hospital radio and school/ uni radio. And volunteer to make tea at a station you love and then work your way up slowly. If you're helpful and hard working and good company to be around you will eventually get noticed and rewarded for your time. And listen to loads of music, and radio DJs you admire. Think about the style of DJing you like and listen to what they actually say, how they construct their links. The best Djs will make you feel they are just having a casual conversation with you in the same room without any effort at all but usually a lot of thought and work goes into getting that style it so have a listen to what they are really doing...

Hope that helps! lotsa love, birdy xxx

So guys, I hope this has informed and entertained your eyeballs. It's surely entertained mine! You can tune in to Lliana Bird's radio show every Saturday from 3-7 and every Sunday from 3-6. (:
