NOTES FROM FISH ISLAND ::: THE WARM UP

Current mood: FUNKY
Category: FUNKY Music

People say to me

'Hey Paul Giovanni, does Fish Island really exist?'

And I say

'Yes, it's a small industrial estate bang next to where the 2012 Olympics will be fought'

And they say

'So, what in the hell happens on Fish Island?'

And I say

'Everything. We've got a Slaughterhouse, a peanut factory, far too may artists and everyone who's anyone in the entertainment business.
Yes, not only do I, Paul Giovanni, live here, but I share my Fishy location with the following people.....





I'm not even joking, all three of these performers live here on Fish Island in Yuppie Flats.....

Currently listening : Feets, Don't Fail Me Now By Herbie Hancock Release date: By 25 October, 1990

	Madeleine	have never seen any of this stuff before, so from a complete novice, what the hell is the x factor. i mean i get the premise, its not rocket science but what the? and yes i have to say as i am completely cynical about all myspazz stuff i looked up fish island and not finding it did not believe it existed. but it does, or so you say. is it really a place of bird song?. i am extremely tired and emo after a night out with artistes so i'll stop. so you are real, or so it seems… Posted by Madeleine on Saturday, June 16, 2007 at 18:13 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	The Paul Giovanni Music Blog...	Yep.. It's so small that no-one in London knows where it is. Even people who live half a mile away don't know where it is...But you can see the proof on the 'Gateway photo' in my pics and i will endeavour to find a map with it on...In fact i took a photo the other day of a map of it's entirety - I'll upload it.. X-Factor IS TV in this country these days. When you move to the UK, you'll know all about it... And yes. It has the best birdsong in London and the best artists. I'll add pictures of some of the best Fish Island Graffiti shortly.... ) Posted by The Paul Giovanni Music Blog... on Saturday, June 16, 2007 at 18:29 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Madeleine	good to know you exist i am barely here so drunk too much bon vivant the people i was with think i should not bovver with the uk at all and stay in the us of a cant type coherently have to think on the whole US vs UK thing cheerio i feel like francis bacon - all fukked up on too much liquid Posted by Madeleine on Saturday, June 16, 2007 at 18:46 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	The Paul Giovanni Music Blog...	I wish I was drunk but i have no more money till god knows when. I may be able to squeeze out 4 cans of own brand.. Yes. The US must be tempting. It's cheaper for damn sure and i think probably far more interesting than England is despite the hype. It's not so good for bike racing, but I'd imagine there's plenty of other things to keep oneself entertained....

	The Paul Giovanni Music Blog...	Of Fish Island or London?? Posted by The Paul Giovanni Music Blog... on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 00:04 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Paloma Pirate	well i've got a london guidebook, but not one for fish island. Posted by Paloma Pirate on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 00:14 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	The Paul Giovanni Music Blog...	Well, i can provide a tour of either. Fish Island will only take about ten minutes (and 2 hopurs travelling time). It's very small and most of the fun goes on behind closed doors... Posted by The Paul Giovanni Music Blog... on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 00:23 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Paloma Pirate	or both? a tour of london that is not in the guidebook would be nice...its not til october. Posted by Paloma Pirate on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 00:27 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Paloma Pirate	oh and don't think for a minute that i'll be going behind any closed doors with you. Posted by Paloma Pirate on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 01:03 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	The Paul Giovanni Music Blog...	The thought hadn't even crossed my mind... I was meaning all the high class entertainment, high quality art and chicken slaughter... pg) Posted by The Paul Giovanni Music Blog... on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 01:07 [Remove] [Reply to this]

	Paloma Pirate	ok, that's just me being distrustful. because I was rethinking the tour idea. high class entertainement, high quality art and chicken slaughter will be fine. :) Posted by Paloma Pirate on Monday, June 18, 2007 at 01:11 [Remove]
