Intergalactical Frisbee: Four months on: the Girls Can't Catch croquet on a rubbish dump video

I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward

When you're a kid, they tell you it's all 'Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it.' But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.

Midget small, ultra blonde hair, blue eyed and fidgety.
I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward. The worst part of being as awkward as i am is that i know I'm doing it. I know I'm being irrationally awkward but i can't stop, it's something i swear that's been hardwired in me since birth!

If anything i'm a reader.
Weddings, school trips, family outings, family meals, birthday's and what have you, my mum would have to search and question me before such events. Because if she didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way i'd be found in a corner reading. That's just who i was. I'm not weird, i'm just very very awkward, i have suffered my whole life from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if i had been understood....

Now back to the present, i'm 16 years old and slightly grazing the tiny height of 4ft 10 (yes, midget) i'm attending collage... And well lets just say it's rare now for me not to have at least a small book with me wherever i may go.

I will eventually grow up and live a life people approve of....(maybe) =P

Four months on: the Girls Can't Catch croquet on a rubbish dump video

popjustice.com

Well readers it's four months since Girls Can't Catch first unveiled their now classic 'Keep Your Head Up' video, with its croquet-on-a-rubbish-dump theme. At the time it seemed ridiculous - now, of course, the band are seen as visionaries.

We have three points to make here, all on the topic of Girls Can't Catch.

1. 'Keep Your Head Up' was on Coronation Street the other day.
Have you noticed that Weatherfield seems to somehow be a magnet for amazing pop music? Whether it's the Rovers jukebox or the Underworld factory radio, they're always banging out brilliant tunes. What's their local radio station called, and can we listen online?

2. Excuse our language here but when the bastard is 'Echo' coming out, it's still v good.

Marketing ideas for this single:
1. Team up with various local newspapers (Liverpool Echo, Dorset Echo, Basildon Echo etc) to basically carpet-bomb the entire country with some sort of tie-in thing on week of release.
2. Release a CD single which features the same version of 'Echo' ten times, with each track slightly quieter than the first.
3. Get Mr Eko from Lost to be in the video.
4. Do a special version about ex-EastEnders actor Michael Greco.
5. That's all we've got.

3. It's nice to see Jess from the band is keeping busy.
Here's a photo she tweeted at us last Saturday night.

Nice hat. (?)
