More Buzzcocks Madness!

Remember when I gave you a heads up regarding the sweet genius of Never Mind The Buzzcocks last week? My dear chum Sean “Twice As” Butler commented on the post and mentioned a recent episode of the program where Simon Amstell used his razor sharp wit to slice and dice Donny Tourettes. Donny is the frontman of faux-punk band Towers Of London and they, just so you know, are a grievous offense against all things good in the world of music.

CAN WE WATCH SAID EPISODE, PLEASE?

I insist you do. It has been gently imbedded* below.

The bit where Simon has a jab about Donny smoking onstage in the final video is delicious, although the “punk dance” he does 6 minutes into the third clip makes me love him even more than I ever thought possible.

This is a genuine romance, people. I know he’s gay and we don’t know each other and all that other stuff but when you’ve found “the one”, you can’t let little things get in the way of the bigger picture.

I’d say the only thing really stopping me from settling down and becoming Mrs Simon Amstell is Ms Fits, a woman renown for her jealous streak and being mad as a cut snake, who would probably hunt me down and stab me if I managed to get my filthy paws on Simon before she did. Her obsession with him is about as unhealthy as mine. You can ask the wonderful Richard Watts, if you like. The poor man drew the short straw the other night and was sitting next to us as we squealed excitedly about how dreamy Simon is and how he might not really be gay if he met us and oooh, oooh did you see the interview he did with The Kooks YAYAYAY I FUCKING <3 1 DAT 1 BUT WHA BOUT DA BRITNEY ONE LOLOLOLOL DATS MY FAVE ME 2 AN HE GAV AWAY DA CHEEZE ON DA RED CARPIT @ DA BRITS CSIROMG DAT WAS DA BEST!

Yes, we talk like that in real life. It is incredibly unnerving.

*I am so juvenile, I actually snickered out loud when I typed “embedded”. You can imagine the idiocy that ensued at the East Brunswick Club last night while I was doorbitching… for string ensemble Fourplay. Ahhh… good times.

Jess, Simon has had some amazing on-screen moments with McFly that I shall indeed have to show you one day.

ALSO - He's currently one of the writers on the excellent new UK Drama series "SKINS", which I am absolutely not downloading illegally each week through torrents, not at all. That too I shall have to show you.

Sigh. Part of me wants that to be the REAL Simon Amstell because having him comment on here would almost be like touching him in the pants (don't question me) but since this Amstell is discarding his homosexuality for Ms Fits and not me, I'm glad it probably isn't.

DID YOU START UP A FAKE BLOG FOR COMEDIC PURPOSES, MS FITS? WHAT SORT OF SICK INDIVIDUAL GETS A KICK OUT OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, WELL I NEVER, A FAKE BLOG JOKE YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS MARK MY WORDS ETC!

I've Popworld-ed a fair bit, Crystal - but any "hot tips" regarding things I should specifically look out for would be much appreciated for creepy stalking purposes.

Adem you darling man, I am so out of the loop! If you have the ability to download these wonderful shows, can I give you some blank DVD thingomebobs and get you to burn the SHIT out of 'em? I crave SKINS and also, seasons one and two of Green Wing.

We need an Australian version of this show, because we don't have one now.

I suggest "Never Mind the Fuck Fucks"
