In the summertime when the weather is fine…
Well, we reckon summer IS coming and with it the
plethora of diversions to keep us outdoors, and
in. Those traditional British pursuits like the
Chelsea Flower Show (great), the Cricket (greater)
and watching the barbeque burnout in the drizzle,
(plus don’t forget the exciting start of
the World Cup - thanks, Alex!). In amongst all
that, Ded Good have found time to put out two
spiffing new albums with a great outdoors/indoors
sort of feel to them. In fact we’ve come
over all Lawrence Llewelyn-Monty-Don, so join
us to see what we can do with just a little gossamer
and a few strategically placed perennials… |

Recipe: Take one bored creative, add Ded
Good Music, a pinch of glitter – and
mix for aural orgasms and perfect productions (note:
Ded Good make no guarantee of such results). Ded Good
does Homes and Gardens with the ingeniously titled Lifestyle
album (CDGML 9500). It does exactly what it says on
the CD case, thanks to our man with more collars than
Lawrence and Monty’s mulch by the spade-full,
Mr P Gomersall!! A slice of life with a bright, free-and-easy,
cosmopolitan vibe, it’s uncompromisingly modern
and creates sociable spaces and perfect harmony…
Ahem, actually it’s rather good, with a fresh
and clutter-free feel. Try Sanctuary for soft and delicate
peace and harmony or Stash The Cash for a fresh and
funky piece of city livin’. Rockin’ the
world of the home on its axis and showing lifestyle
ain’t all Handy Andy and potpourri, this album
is as smooth as your Alessi pump espresso maker! |

Out of the sun and into the shade, Ded Good’s
second new album is as taut as Joan Collin’s face.
Surveillance (CDGML 9400) is a deep
and dubby trip into a world of tension, intrigue and
paranoia (not unlike Shaun Ryder’s mind). If this
ruff and tuff collection was a geezer, it would ride
shopping trolleys round towers, if you get me? Big Bovva
meets Big Brother, it’s got its eye on you and
Chief, it’s got the seriously suspicious backdrop
for your investigative documentary maker! Check Binge
Drinking for some weird and wired, dark undercover beds
and step from the Cradle to the Grave, via the Manor
with the sinister Nursery Crimes. So who’s watching
the watchers??? |

Keeping with the outdoor theme now, although
in no way sinister, we want to shout out to Cathy
Cooper from GMTV. As daring as Robert Edwin Peary
(first explorer to the North Pole) our lovely Cathy
went dog sledding in the Arctic, raising money and
awareness for the Scott Polar Research Institute.
Yup, Cathy did sled (and fall) all over Gargia,
Joataka & Soussjavri. Whilst she was doing it
she raised nearly £2K for the SPRI and got
filmed by the Beeb. Not bad going Cath!! All the
while she was sporting her Ded Good
Arctic Survival Kit (see pic), almost recognised
as industry standard snoods for surviving in less
temperate climates! If you want to read Cathy’s
wicked blog (it’s good, trust us - we barely
managed to write this we were so engrossed), then
go to www.huskylady.blogspot.com
or if you’re doing something brave/foolhardy/downright
silly* (*delete as applicable), let us know by writing
to intrepid
explorers only. We could save your life out
in the polar regions, or even Barnsley.

Roll call time: Let’s sort the Chiefs from the
Haters, the playas from the fakers, and those who won
from who didn’t even enter… Big-Ups to last
month’s TWO winners for Where’s Alex? Not
ONE, but TWO (cos we’re not cheap) copies of 2006
FIFA World Cup for the PS2. So when we’ve
wrapped (completed) said games, Luke Keen
from the BBC and Ray Campbell
from BSkyB can both look forward to
hours practicing their tactics (remember it’s
supposed to go in the back of the net) and growing their
do’s like a real footballer should! Well done
the lads!!! |

This time we’re getting in touch with your
voyeuristic side. A picture tells a thousand stories,
apparently. So record yourself with a nifty, new camera,
oooohhh!!
( Disclaimer: Ded Good is not condoning
snapping people unaware. Oh no - we’d never do
anything like that!)
To be the next David Bailey, guess:
Where’s Alex?
Email big brother's
watching you and we might let yah have it! |

Wow, what a transformation: a few CDs some games
and a coupla huskies and we’ve made this Newsletter
into an elegant, contemporary design piece! Our work
here is done - but next month we’ll be back for
cricket season (whoopee), festivals and maybe even more
music! |
