Motorblog Fanzine 83: Went in the mailbox early AM today. It will not have travelled far but Monday AM should see it on its way to your doormat.

The Hamsters at Mr Kyps on Friday were knockout, they play Jimi Hendrix just like Jimi Hendrix, not in quite the same laid-back fashion as The Man, but close your eyes and he's there in front of you. They do a 'Hamster-Head' T-shirt, which is a mixture of the Motorhead War-Pig and (of course) a Hamster's head - quite fun.

The Petulant Labrador: Looking after him for a short time for our daughter. They say they're a man's best freind, but I'm not so sure. He's great with daughter's kids, can't fault him there, and there's not a stitch of aggression in him, but he's moody, rude, ignorant and often like a spoiled child. He tried the laying on the sofa / our bed routine, I pointed to the floor and told him "No!" He ignored me for 3 days and I'm still not on his Christmas Card list. He has a problem with his right knee, so when my wife plays ball with him he usually ends up limping. To help the problem she didn't play ball for 2 days, so he ignored both of us. Used to cats, as we were, who dig a hole and hide their waste, when he dumps it's more like a mini-roundabout appearing in the garden; and they say cat s**t smells? Dogs' makes your eyes water!

Motorblog Went to see Motorhead: tribute band, MotorKill at the local Mr Kyps venue on Saturday, they were great and well worth seeing. Amongst the knockout set-list were 'Sucker' and 'God Was Never On Your Side' which were both great to hear Live! http://www.myspace.com/motorkill Support was from local faves Voodoo Vegas http://www.voodoovegas.com

Motorblog Tragedy At Motorhead Festival Date: MHB 2652, Oyvind Gilje from Norway emailed to say that at the Norway Rock Festival yesterday, July12th, a young couple died in a bus at the festival camp from carbon monoxide poisoning. "Disappointingly," says Oyvind, "Turbonegro cancelled their set in respect of the dead, but Motorherad did the opposite by Honouring the two fans with one hell of a show. But it was not a typical Motorhead show opening, the loudest band in the world started their set with a minute's silence. I have witnessed many a great Motorhead show, but this was by far the most special to me and, I suspect, to many others."

Used both live and on the Girls' albums for 20 years, it is fully autographed by the member's of both Girlschool and Motorhead. Kim is Auctioning the guitar for the proceeds to go towards her local Air Ambulance and / or kitting out a kid's playground with some decent gear for them to play on or with; both very worthwhile causes. So, don't be tight, MAKE YOUR BEST OFFER - for more info click http://www.girlschool.co.uk/
And remember, guitars aren't cheap, and there's not another one autographed by Girlschool AND Motorhead; this is a VERY exclusive auction item so BIDS SHOULD BE REALISTIC!
Kim is keen to AVOID using EBay as deductions are made and she wants to make as much as possible for her Worthy Causes!
The Auction ends on September 4th, 2008.
