Rambles about the wonderful world of wrestling.
Queens of the Stone Age were once one of the most exciting bands in modern rock music.  A couple of dodgy albums however has led to many feeling cold towards Josh Homme and his gang of merry men, so latest release …Like Clockwork is beginning to feel like a last chance for these suave Americans to stop their decline from rock and rolls consciousness.

So England have qualified for the World Cup, admittedly through an incredibly easy group that they should have walked, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.  I’m here to talk about the fact that after only two days the English media have already begun to undermine the team and attempt to ruin any of the good work they did in the last two qualifying matches.  Now I want to go into journalism so to sit and slag off the press may seem strange, but the English press and their football team have one of the strangest relationships  in the world.  While other countries seek to help their team by holding off on information until after match days and so on, publications like The Sun appear to do the exact opposite.  They decide to run with some daft racism story about something said at half time in the dressing room which the player himself has dismissed.  So why do they do it?  Do they want to destroy the confidence of the team?  Do they not think that far ahead?  God only knows.
The American Scene seem a strange band to open proceedings to a packed King Tuts.  Their rather dull indie doesn’t really get anywhere and never manages to grab the crowds attention.  There is no doubting there will be gigs where The American Scene go down great but tonight is not that night and while they walk off the stage to polite applause it is nothing compared to what is to come.
