Bank Holiday Weekend Thought of the Week with Handsome ‘Dave’ Rocker
Now then now then boy and girls, it only seems like yesterday I was saying summer is nearly here, and here we are nearly at the end of the bar b q season. Which is wal bum! But fear not the next few weeks are gonna be the best by a long way……….
Starting off this weekend, half of Red Indie are getting married so Saturday night is going to be great fun in the LJRs, I’m gonna be dropping none stop hit after non stop hit, the fun starts around 8 and finishes when ever you want but the pub shuts at 1am.
Then on to everybody’s favourite Sunday shantathon the legendary august bank holiday!!!! Where once again it’s a crazy Sumo Sunday at LJRs joining me on the old wheels of steel with large magnets in, is the Albino Monkey ahead of his 1st international release on the 14th of September and another superstar by the name of Leatherhead. It’s guaranteed to be cool, electro and a bit ravey.
But also just down the road at the Liberal Club the C.O.R. disco queens have got Greg Wilson playing alongside the usual suspects in Southsea’s 1st ever A&E ward, for real. Also Southsea being Southsea there’s heaps of other bits and pieces going on dain the seaside from dog shows to kite contests. Not forgetting all you culture vultures that leave Southsea this weekend, so whether you’re at Reading, Notting Hill, Shambala or even staying in Southsea please respect one and other and remember you are representing my town and we are a lot cooler than everyone else with out even trying.
Hope to see you all over the next few days, as usual come and say hi (I like pear cider) have lots of fun and above all RAVE SAFE!
Love as ever Handsome Dave Rocker. xxxxx

Thought of the Week with Handsome ‘Dave’ Rocker
Summer is definitely here cos I’m of on my travels from festi to festi, its Glade this weekend and then straight off to Camp Bestival, so I may not be posting anything next week guys but I’m sure you’ll be ok.
Anyways as festi’s are happening everywhere I just want to give you a little tip that always pays off, when buying you booze get an extra few cans and give them to the people either side of you, ideally after you watched them set their tents up. This is a clever move in many ways.
1. They instantly like you. If you sit about all night chatting by the tents his bird is going to be saying go and tell them to shut up, but he’ll say no they’re ok they sorted us out when we put the tent up.
2. Insurance policy, if they see anyone going in your tent that shouldn’t be they’ll stop them (in my experience)
3. You get to weigh them up, they might have something you would like, or if they’re going to be the type to piss in your porch.
I’m of to pack my wellies cos we’re in for a wet one. Love as always……..handsome

Well fuck, if I didn’t make this one hell of a fucking tribute to Michael Jackson I shouldn’t be aloud a computer.
No matter what you might think of the man himself ,I’m pretty sure he’s been a part of all of our lives, from trying to moonwalk and doing all the dance moves to dressing up like thriller at the school disco.
BASICALLY if you don’t like jacko you don’t like music.
But this doe’s make us realise that life is short, so lets have some fucking fun, YEAH.
Southsea Unite, is definitely happening and its going to be on the 8th of august and its going to be great, I want to be impressed by the picnics, fancy dress and pretty much anything goes. We are going to have a massive game of rounders and an after party with me and the other guys from we supply movement at the little jonny Russell, I’m sure a few of you know it. Keep checking this site for more info and soon to be facebook group. If you can help by sticking up a poster or dishing out some flyers, please contact me. Thanks for tuning in again…..
Micheal Jackson R.I.P.

Here we go again, I’ve got an issue with something a lot of you will be guilty of…………. If something is funny you don’t have to fucking tell me to “laugh out loud” and while I’m ranting, what is lmao? And omfg etc it makes me cross.
And then there’s smileys? Whats that about then, a couple of commas and a bracket, not very smiley. And that’s all I’ve got to complain about really, life is quite sweet at the mo and I hope you all agree.
Hopefully you all read last weeks thought and if there is anyone willing to give me a hand for free contact me through my facebook. Handsomedaverocker you know the score.
I would also like to give you the heads up on the new Krywolf mix available free on the old download from myspace/krywolfmusica its awesome, free and local.
I love you all, and can be found in LJR for a shant and a chat on Sat. Ta v much.

Well here we are again, with an idea I’ve been thinking about for a while. So bare with me.
Right as I’m sure by know you all know that I run this town, never mind what any other mother fucker tells you, which is going to make this idea do able.
I’m sure a few of you remember smokey bears picnic, which in essence could have been quite a good day, but we have all grown up, and some of you smoke the ism still and that’s fine but most of us have stopped that shit, plus at smokey bears picnic there was obviously interest from the po po. Which nobody wants especially if you’re blazing…….get me.
So this leads to the idea, as you know there are many social groups in our kingdom of southsea and we all cross over from time to time ,creating a very large group of like minded people which is fucking ace. SOUTHSEA, UNITE! So I am aiming to invite you all to a day on the common with me and everyone within our individual crews for a day of bar b q, music and a huge fucking game of rounders. My aim is Saturday the 1st of august. (Editors note, this is Matt & Lyndas Wedding so it will change. We’ll keep you posted.)
Basically I’m organising a stealth illegal festival for sound people to meet each other properly using southsea’s greatest facility, the common. Any feedback would be gratefully excepted. Stay strong and rave safe, handsome.
Dave asked for a little help with the logo design. Let me know what you think. Tristan.
Thanks for the comments. How’s this version work for you. It’s good to get feedback as when you’re working on something you can see it for what it’s supposed to be, but an outside view can bring up the little problems.

Thought/comment of the week this week is me having a bit of a rant, so bare with me.
As you all know we have been enjoying some fabulous weather of late and everyone has been a lot happier and southsea on the whole has been a great place to be. However there is one little thing that really annoys me, THE PRICE OF SUN CREAM, so I feel stealing sun cream is not really a crime as long as you don’t steal the most expensive brands. My argument for this is………….if you get caught and it goes to court then you simply say you couldn’t afford any and you were locked out, so if they expect you to get cancer then they could have your death on they’re hands.
And yes girls my opinion is the same for ladies and tampax.
I know its not really a thought of the week but I felt I needed to share it with you guys.
See you next week, Handsome dizzzzle.

Yo yo yo, got another snippet of wise info for ya’ll.
After a crazy bank holiday weekend in our fantastic sub city, and a hell of a lot of meeting new people………you know who you are guys, I’m just saying hello. Its that easy! I fell back in love with a little treat that for a while I ignored. I’ve got three little words for you, CHEESE ON TOAST! If I was a real doctor this would be the cure for everything unless you were dairy intolerant, it instantly made me feel better and repeatedly set me up for another days boozing.
But it doesn’t stop at just cheese I like a bit of marmite or even a bit of tomato puree. It’s feedback time, I want to here all of you’re favourite cheese on toast combo’s.
That’s it for another week thanks for all the feedback, peace out. Handsome…

Yo, welcome to the first of Handsome “Dave” Rockers thought of the week, as this is the first instalment I thought it better be a good one, so here we go.
You know when you’re out and about in our beautiful post code and you often see some familiar faces, but you don’t know them to “talk to” WELL yes you do. They’re also thinking the same thing and I want to bring this to a stop! More so now than ever all of our social groups are entwined, could be the pubs we hang in, the bands we’re into or where we spend our spare time. But here it is, this is what I want you to do to make this a even better place to be…
Say hello to two people you’ve never spoke to, but you recognize, and if it gets awkward explain that I put you up to it…
Its easy and on the whole, people are nice. Catch you laters party people, all my love Handsome “Dave” Rocker.
