To sign up to the list all you have to do is send a blank email to thefinalcut-subscribe@topica.com.
Some of you might be aware that since I first started writing my The Final Cut column I have had a list over at Topica that people could sign up to in order to receive my weekly column so it would appear in their email boxes before it was posted on any web sites or online newsletters on the internet.
Since I have started up my weekly column again I thought that it was only right that I continue to use this list again.
This is what I have done. Every week the subscribers to my list will receive my column before it is posted ANYWHERE on the internet, and that does include my official web site.
But I wanted to offer more for signing up to the list, and here it is.
Everyone who signs up to my column list will not only receive my weekly column, hours before it hits the rest of the internet, but they will also receive exclusive bonus show review columns that will only be available to the subscribers on my list - that means they will not be posted on the internet!
To sign up to the list all you have to do is send a blank email to thefinalcut-subscribe@topica.com.

Richard Herring (of Lee & Herring fame, and the TRUE genius behind Time Gentlemen Please!) is going to be performing a preview of his upcoming Edinburgh show in Mile End, East London, on Monday night (and again at a later date) and I have just managed to reserve two tickets to see him!
He was performing at The Camden Head pub in Islington last night but thanks to Reiss being a fucking arsehole, and not confirming if he was coming, I had to miss it. But I shall be making sure I get to see him now that I actually have tickets reserved!
After checking the club’s web site I saw that Stewart Lee (the other half of Lee & Herring) was performing only this past Monday … AND I FUCKING MISSED IT!
I am now the proud owner of almost all of every Shakin’ Stevens songs that has ever been recorded.
Last night I was lucky enough to find a lovely bloke on the awesome ISOHunt torrent web site who had ripped most of Shaky’s songs, even ones from his Sunset days, and put them on the torrent web site for people like me to download.
I left the computer running over night and when I awoke I had found that I had finished downloading all of them!
I am now the proud owner of the following songs & albums:
Shakin’ Stevens & The Sunsets
I’m not a JD
Reet Petite
Shakin’ Stevens & The Sunsets
Shakin’ Stevens (Solo)
A Whole Lotta Shaky
Epic Years
Hits & More! Vol1
Hits & More! Vol2
Hits & More!-Vol3
Shaky The Hits Vol 1
Shaky The Hits Vol 2
Shaky The Hits Vol 3
Sings A & B sides
The Hits of 1997
There Two Kinds Of Music..Rock’n'Roll
Shaky gets a lot of shit thrown at him but I would like to point out that he is the top selling male UK singles artist of the 1980s. That beats people like George Michael and the like!
The other day I downloaded both Portishead albums and I was lucky enough to find a live album of their concert in the Roseland, New York, which I have been constantly listening to over and over, I forgot just how fucking awesome I think Portishead are!
I am so anal that I spell check almost everything I do, I was just spell-checking this blog piece when a spelling error popped up for the word ‘arsehole’ the top replacement word for it was ‘leaseholder’… Please think about donating to the Dog's Trust charity, they do fantastic work in rescuing dogs that have been cruelly treated. :)

Whilst in The Daniel Defoe on Saturday Jenna said that I am starting to look like Kyle Gass … the fat bald one out of Tenacious D! 
It is probably worth pointing out that my hair looks nothing like that now, it looks more like this:
I’ll leave it up to you lot to determine which is worse.

I woke up Saturday morning and had probably only my fourth ever hangover and boy did I feel it. I was not sick, which is what normally happens because I have such a shitty immune system but I had obviously not drunk enough water and just felt ugh.
So I took my duvet into the front room and laid on the sofa with my dog, which pissed my dad off because now he can’t watch his one and only porn film that he thinks the whole family don’t know he has.
I was not going to go out but by the time Reiss phoned me I did feel a little bit better and we ended up going to a pub in Stoke Newington called The Daniel Defoe and meeting up with Jenna, Alfie and Wiiillll (points and wiggles finger in homage to Will MacDonald from TFI Friday).
I had not rehydrated myself enough before I came to the pub so I had to keep asking for the occasional pint of water with ice in. I’m sure I looked a rather odd sight as I necked a pint of water then hungrily grabbed a pint of beer.
Reiss does things sometimes that leave me astounded at. Jenna whipped out a writing book and was happily drawing people and Reiss decided he wanted to draw someone and then proceeded to draw a penis on her book. I have to say though it actually looked like Reiss, minus the hair.
I have started tying a jumper around my waist, whilst most people would assume that I am just taking a precaution in case it gets cold or starts to rain I can now reveal that it is an attempt to hide the fact that my bum is fucking huge!
I bored the arse off Reiss on the way home about George Galloway, that will teach him to bring up any subject relating to politics. I watched a couple more episodes of The Mighty Boosh as I fisted chips into my gaping mouth and then went to bed.
Good weekend!
