‘Tangerinegate’

by Robert Popper on February 27, 2010 · 58 comments

Can you believe what our Prime Minister did with a tangerine? But can you believe that my phone call ended up in the Financial Times? And on the BBC show The Bubble (14 mins 15 secs in to be precise). And The Telegraph and The Sun. And animated by a Hong Kong news channel… And [...]

OK…time for some proper music

First of all, foreign language channel, Venus TV. Look out for his sigh at the end of our chat… And then, Babestation. Don’t think she liked me very much. Ho hum!

And could this be the new ‘Chill in my Veins’?

I just had to post this… Suzi Cramp is Lori Watt‘s sometime musical collaborator. I present ‘Lingering’… Best bit? Between 2:59 and 3:00. Wow!

You may have heard an earlier version of this, but the brilliant Justin Spooner and I have reworked this rather sunny, acousticy thing. Apple Tree by Robert Popper and Justin Spooner Hope it makes you smile, or at least, reach for an apple. Justin is such a talented musician and producer. I so want to [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, I present… Chill in my Vein by Lori Watt: My fave bit is when the singer suddenly appears holding hands with the mysterious older lady. What’s yours? Well done to the brill @moogyboobles for locating this item of gloriousness.

But only if it comes with the man. Also, the man seems to get younger as the film goes on. That really is some machine. Thanks to @laura_hyde. Your aura is strong.

A new track from me and Justin Spooner

We plan to do an album, so let’s get started… Here’s our new track, ‘Chase’. Me on guitars and Justin on keyboards and twiddlies. It’s a kind of spacey, gypsy thing. Track is below pic! Chase by Robert Popper and Justin Spooner Hope you enjoy…

Please tune your guitar. I am begging you.
