Spiky Spoken Word (by sarah)
This Friday I am going to be reading my poetry and depending on how brave I'm feeling maybe some of my sort of rap/performance geek poetry at the [Frog and Fiddle](http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=157793120916386) . It costs about £4 to get in I think and on top of that there is [A F Harold](http://www.quirkstandardsalternative.co.uk/index.html) who is well worth a watch for his interesting poems (I'm not biased because he used one of my cats names in his [Tweet Poetry](http://cheltenhamfestivals.com/blog/2010/09/01/introducing-tweet-poetry/) for the Cheltenham Lit Festival honest!). There is also Men Diamler and Brown Torpedo who I have been meaning to blog about for ages and have like photos of performances and stuff but haven't gotten round to yet! [Men Diamler](http://www.mendiamler.com/) is what I think of as a sort Nick Cave / White Strips mix with a dark middle English ring to it. He weaves fantastical and often tragic tails in his music and yes I am a fan ;) [Brown Torpedo](http://www.myspace.com/browntorpedo) are erm... well the only way I can think of describing them off the top of my head is, I suppose - Trippy with that sort ethereal swerl allowing dreams of the present day - or something Simon from Uni would make us all listen too and then tell me they don't exist and I imagined them the next day!

If my penchant for obscure music is one of my defining characteristics, my work here is done :)

Well done on being short listed. I am glad you were able to 'organise' your Dad and me!

I still haven't forgiven you for the Mr Scruff incident! And what were those Acid Jazz people called? all I remember is pretty lights if I'm honest!
