Jedward – The National TV awards
That was brilliant, right? C’mon, give us a smile, of course it was.
Tonight the nation’s very own oxymoron (we all hate them, but we love them) performed on television for the first time since their x-factor boot. That’s right, Jedward took to the stage at the National Television Awards.
This is the puppy:
Now, I’d like to pay particular attention to the lady in pink at 1 minute 44. Although I probably shouldn’t single her out, we all know what happened to the “Su-Bo-eye-roller” (death threats and everything).
But seriously, cheer up love, it might never happen etc etc. The question we all need to address is, why does she look so down in the dumps? We all know the score. We were all happy go lucky one minute, not much could bring us down (apart from war, terrorism, poverty…etc..), then BAM the recession hits and we’re all like “Aghhh FUCK. Everything sucks, none of us can earn any money and to top it all off, music nowadays is depressing”. Then Jedward arrived and it made us even angrier – “Who the fuck are these twats? What have they got to be happy about? They can’t even sing and that”. But then we all came around and BAM – “These Jedward chaps are actually quite spiffing. They don’t care what’s going on. They’re having fun and by jove, it’s encouring me to have fun too!”
Now, I’m not saying Jedward are the nation’s saviour. I’m not saying Jedward turned up and everything was alright again. What I’m saying is, Jedward came on the scene and gave everyone a little chuckle and we shouldn’t try to resist it. Let’s be happy and silly and, let’s face it, about 80% of us are also tone death, so let’s screetch along with them. Amen.
One small footnote though…. has Vanilla Ice really been reduced to riding on the coattails of two talentless twins to relaunch his career? Perhaps that was what the lady in pink was upset about all along….
NYE
Yo everybody and anybody.
Curious about how my new New Years Eve night went? If you are, and even if you’re not, there is a video up on the vids page documenting the night. Fancy it? I think so.

THIS MAN MUST BE STOPPED
Don’t be fooled by his twee head scratching (did you really have an itch, did you?) and peaceful woodland setting. Adam Young, aka Owl City is single handedly trying to infiltrate our apathetic lives with his upbeat twinkly synth pop and equally jaunty lyrics. He is the man responible the following song titles: “Vanilla Twilight”, “Butterfly Wings” and “Strawberry Avalanche”. This is not a magical world made of marmellows and sherbet, Adam. There are no unicorns here, ADAM. Harry bloomin’ Potter isn’t your mate, ADAM. Can’t anyone be left to be cynacil anymore?
He is currently every mainstream UK DJ’s “Record Of the Week”, and it every time I hear it I convince myself that little bit more that I should start an “Anti Record of the Week” where I pick a track I REALLY hate, remix it REALLY badly and cut fart noises over it. Unfortunately I have been advised that bodily functions do not make agreeable radio. So this won’t be happening any time soon. Sorry. Fuck you, Owl City.
Soulwaxmas has landed
A video represeting the events of Soulwaxmas 2009 has now been posted on my youtube page. It features mainly me, Richard Williams and 2 Many DJs, so if you like any of these things, you should definitely watch it. Head over to the ‘Vids’ page to have a gander.
In other news, sorry I haven’t updated in a while, but of course I have been busy with Christmas. Just as I imagine every one else was too busy to read this blog. Apart from my number 1 fan who was obviously refreshing the front page continuously during Christmas dinner.
So what’s next, I hear you cry (pantomime style, I’m still in the festive spirit…) New Years eve is a big one for us as Street Justice are holding their annual NYE party where I will be DJing as Abi Gravewrecker, playing nothing but the hits of the decade. Think ‘Gold Digger’ mixed with ‘Crazy’ (Gnarls Barkely) blended with ‘Sound Of The Underground’. Not only will I be filming a KICK ASS video capturing the nights antics, but will also be conducting my first interview for the all new 2010 podcast with the charming Lighthouses boys.
Watch this space, watch this space.
For every person I know who buys ‘Killing In The Name Of’…
…I’m going to buy ‘The Climb’ twice.
This is my serious face. I mean business.
I wish you a Merry Christmas
Ho ho ho.
It’s that time of year. I’ve donned my red suit* and packed my bag with treats, and thus here is my Christmas present to you. No, it’s not an iPod. No, it’s not a Ben 10 Alien Force action figure. And no, it’s not Cliff Richard’s unforgettable 2003 release Cliff At Christmas.
It is, in fact, a Christmas themed mix brought to you by ME. Enjoy.
Seb & Abi on Diesel:U:Music Radio
Come one, come all to Diesel:U:Music Radio this coming Wednesday (16th December), for the second best radio show on the planet. Mine is obviously first, however my collaboration with internet radio king SEB WHITE is next in line. Tune into DUM Radio to hear said collaboration – THE BIGGEST RADIO SHOW IN THE WORLD. We’ll be playing a mixture of future chart toppers selected by Abi, and an array of Seb’s 80s/90s gems. We’ll also playing a series of geeky games based on everyone’s favourite book, the dictionary.
As a matter of fact, there’s a whole lot of great shows going out on DUM Radio on the same day. Radio programming at it’s best. If you have absolutely nothing planned on Wednesday, then get a job. But also listen throughout the day for shows hosted by Passion Pit, Les Savy Fav, La Roux and Theophilus London.
Selecta.
Be your own Robbie
Take a look at this picture of Robbie Williams. It’s from the the music video for his latest single, “You Know Me” (which is incidentally the second best music video created this year). What’s different about our Robbie? Yes. That’s right. He is dressed as a rabbit. I’ve spoken to a number of people about this particular video, and have experienced an array of different reactions. The first reaction was “That’s preposterous and also an embarrassing idea for a pop video”. The second being ” What a deep and poetic idea behind a music video! It really reflects the loneliness of the human psyche. After all, deep down aren’t we all rabbits?”. But the reaction I’ve come across the most has been simply, “Dude. I really want that rabbit costume.”
Well readers, here at The Buzz On Abi, we can make your dreams come true! Simply print out the rabbit head below, carefully cut around the marked edges (get an adult to help you), and place over a photograph of yourself. And hey presto, instant bunny-fication!
Now lets see how if works out on some of our favourite celebrities!
Tiger Woods (just because he’s at it like a bunny at the moment, ho ho ho), Debbie Harry (a former playboy bunny, fact fans) and Jedward (cute as bunnies).
Soulwax are playing at my house
They’re not. They’re actually playing at the (not O2) Brixton Academy on Friday, with Erol Alkan, Mixhell and Mickey Moonlight. And of course as 2 Many DJs.
It’s going to be a hum-dinga so I’m taking a video camera and I’ll make some sort of video vlog bog thing to document the night. Check back next week for visualised content so you can pretend that you were there, and also pretend that you are you one of my friends.
I’m starting to think Soulwax only put on this Christmas party so they can team their name “Soulwax” with “Xmas” , thus creating what is known as “Soulwaxmas”. Maybe I should put on my own festive party and call it “Hanukkabi”.
