This clashes with Glee (but you can record that): Nerina Pallot 'I Don't Want To Go Out' sessions

Beautiful/sometimes-overlooked-by-the-record-buying-public songstress Nerina Pallot has been doing a series of gigs on the world wide web. They are called the 'I Don't Want To Go Out Sessions'. The cleverness here is twofold because not only is 'I Don't Want To Go Out' the name of a song on Nerina's album, but also because this is essentially a gig that you don't have to go out to watch.

It's sort of like when Sandi the liar Thom 'set up her own' webcast from her basement. Only this time the songs being played aren't a load of old rubbish.

Here is a handy video where Nerina, complete with tangerine, explains the whole thing (in case you hadn't already grasped the concept):



There are many good sides to this. Here they are in a list:

1. You can watch it from your armchair (unless, like us, you have Virgin Media's 'intermittent broadband' package).

b. We like following the progress of the blue mug.

iii. If you are a burglar, you can browse the contents of Nerina's lounge before you break in.

4. Nerina has drafted in a raft of talented support artists. Last time it was Theoretical Girl. Tonight it is Bright Light Bright Light who we bang on about all the time. Now you really have no excuse not to watch him.

v. Her dog does funny things.

6. The songs sound bloody amazing. Especially considering they are being beamed around the world down a wire. Technology is frightening.

HERE IS THE ADDRESS TO WATCH IT. Beyond providing you with that link please don't expect us to help out with anything technolological like 'streaming'. It starts at 9pm UK time. That time will vary depending upon where in the world you live in relation to the Royal Observatory.

***UPDATE***

Here is something rather special which you will have seen if tuned in, and which you won't if you didn't (maybe you should do what we tell you next time?):
