This web site is, as it has been for a number of years, under construction. So some of the links don't work etc. However I will improve things soon….honest.
But one day I will die.

The Waltons have currently been downloaded 666 times. Fortunately under EU rules The Number of the Beast has been devalued to 616. I'm still worried though because 666 is recognised by most world religions to be The Number of the Bus. So "one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle", speaking with "a great voice, as of a trumpet" will still arrive, but verily he shall come hither on a Routemaster from Acton depot.

If you want to see Revenge of the Lawn playing live here is your opportunity. All you have to do is vote for them in the Bestival Competition at the IWCP website. You have to bear in mind that they are competing against bands that actually have friends that will vote for them, so tell all your relatives and work-mates to vote for them too. If you have a dynamically allocated IP address (which is most of you) you will be able to vote every 24 hours or so. Remember if you don't vote don't blame me if you end up listening to a strangely proficient but ultimately dull rock band that has been randomly generated by XXXXXXXX XXX. Revenge of the Lawn assure me that if they get to the live final their set will include:
- UKULELES
- METALOPHONES
- SOME REALLY BAD BRASS PLAYING
- PARTIAL NUDITY
- SIMULATED SEX WITH AN ACTUAL VENDING MACHINE
- A SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE (THIS IS A STANDARD PLOY AT ALL GIGS NOWADAYS AND PROBABLY NOT TRUE)
- PROFANITY
- A "THUNDEROUS RACIST DIATRIBE" DIRECTED AT THE RESIDENTS OF WEST WIGHT
- AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.

Bizarrely "A minutes Silence for John Peel" has broken into The House of Cheese™ Top Twenty. Presumably downloaded by people expecting it to be a raucous guitar anthem or some kind of joke. It is in fact 60 seconds of slightly breezy ambience recorded outside my mum's house on the evening that I learnt of JP's death.

A new place for you to complain. It looks just like the old place to complain but it is semi-automatic. This should speed up the time it takes for me to post messages and respond to them. I'm hoping for improvements in-line with standards set in the late '70s.
There is still a job going...no really there is..
09.11.2007
No really! This is serious. There really is a day's work if you want it. Contact me through the usual channels.
06.11.2007
Anybody want a day's work? You must be male and free on Friday 23rd November (possibly on the 30th). You only get paid £25 but on the bright side mostly what you have to do is lie down a lot. You will be made-up by a cine professional and may be required to spit blood and groan a good deal. You will receive a light lunch. If you are free and interested please contact me through the usual channels.

I met Tony Webb in Newport today. He said his name is now Marion Allsop and he often lurks around this site but has never posted here. I'm sure if we all make a labio-dental fricating noise he will emerge into the glade and dance with pony's........what the F**K am I talking about.

I went to the Grosvenor Rd reunion on Saturday, which was weird. Most of the people I only vaguely remembered (if at all) but there were a few that it was great to see again. Also great to finally meet Weed and Richard Sleep. Most surprising was how well (if old) everybody looked. I spent the entire evening explaining who I was and why I was there. When people found out they knew my brother they asked why he wasn't there and I had to give another equally convoluted explanation to explain this. After a while I got sick of this so I just started saying, "Because he's a cock", by way of explanation. Later it emerged that some people had heard, "Because he's a cop". Can I just state for the record that my brother is not, nor has he ever been a member of the constabulary. Anyway you can see some photo's of the event here.

Hmmm..I took 748 photos on Friday and while a lot of them were rubbish, or just repetitive, they were mostly in focus.
On Saturday I was not nearly as mashed and yet over 50% of the photos were out of focus. Here then are the Saturday Bestival 2007 pics.
08.09.07
Before you even left the party! Here are some (hundreds of) photos from Friday at the Bestival 2007.

For the thousands of you who have been unable to download The Four Marys mp3s there is good news. I have just regained control of my website so all the
links work again. This temporary glitch was caused by the person that owned the server discovering that we had
hi-jacked some webspace and blocking us out.
Tony has set up a Waltons myspace site. It's got some live recordings on it from the prince Consort and Zanies
in 1983.
Revenge of the Lawn are still recording. There most recent offering a ska version of Truly Scrumptious
from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Mista Mushroom are still desperately trying to split up.
I Heart Audrey are gigging regularly on The Island and on the North Island but I'm too old to go and watch gigs
unless they are right on my door step, but hats off to Lottie for being in both of these bands and dealing with
a burgeoning modelling career.

22.10.06
After several trials (and a couple of tribulations) and considerable legal wrangling The House of Cheese ™ is proud, nay overwhelmed, to present the latest video release from Revenge of the Lawn. Entitled "It's a Funny Old World" it is a disturbing polemic on modern architectural design in western civilisation.
This is a 25Meg mp4 file so is probably not for those with dial-up connections and you should check whether your current media player will handle mp4s (you may need an upgrade).
I would be interested to know whether it plays on a video iPod if anybody has one. A higher quality version should be available soon but this will be a big file. Please post your comments on the complaints page.
05.10.06
I could blah on about The Bestival and also the Steve Smith gig in Atherfield (which was really good) but instead here is a thunderous racist diatribe from Revenge of the Lawn, the unacceptable face of regional bigotry.
03.09.06
Nothing much going on really. I'm just embarrassed that I haven't written anything on this page for so long.
Rob has dug out a load of new (old) photos of Waltons/Cats/Dustbins/Looney Tunes gigs that I will scan and post soon.
Rob and I are well on the way to completing our album. I'm looking forward to the Bestival. If you see me there identify yourself (I will be the big pissed bloke staggering around aimlessly).
21.11.05
Some really dodgy photos of Cats Like Plain Crisps taken by Martino.
23.09.05
I feel ill. I went to the Wedgewood rooms last night to see Mista Mushroom. here are some photos of the event. And hello to Carly who was so pissed she decided that she wanted to practice rock climbing on me.
19.09.05
Finally find out what Tony should do next!
And loads of other really interesting stuff as well!
Site statistics are now available
here.This is very serious science!
08.09.05
I heard Mista Mushroom new album "Class "A"s on a School Night" right the way through last night and it's massive! They've done a really good job of making some thing that is innovative and, refreshingly, funny! A Mercury nominee for next year I think. If you are at the Bestival at the weekend you will get the opportunity to hear the band who are playing in the 24-Hour Cafe at 7.20 Sunday. Also Lotti says she is going to be marching around with a ghetto blaster playing the album and giving away free copies. If you are not as tight as a gnats chuff and want a copy you can book one by emailing mista_mushroom@hotmail.com.
29.08.05
Here's a new (old) track from Martino. See the letters page for the background.
28.08.05
There's been some kind of blockage with the emails coming down from the web site. I apologise for the delay to the hundreds of (three) people that have been leaving messages. It's all sorted out now (if I was being totally honest I would have to admit that it was all sorted out a couple of weeks ago but I've been a bit busy).
26.07.05
Using some scraps of wire, a pair of pliers, some considerable ingenuity and (shockingly) my Degree in Electronics, I have managed to get my 4 Track working. It turned out to be faulty at the first stage of amplification so I just soldered some wires directly onto the playback head and fed these into a pair of stereo amplifiers.
Unfortunately the resulting signal is very low and I've probably bypassed the Dolby unit so the sound isn't brilliant but then I'm not sure how good it would have been anyway (the tapes must have degenerated in the last 20 years).
Any way, the result of this all is that I now have access to loads of really bad music that I have not heard for over a decade. This includes some genuine surprises.
- There are, of course, all the Waltons "Dead Above the Neck" sessions but also a few gems that never saw the light of day such as "Has Anybody got any Mandys", End of the Line" and "Rainy Rizla Morning".
- There is at least one solo song from O.B. Quiet.
- There are two separate sessions from Django Ratix including the sublime "Nuclear Heart Attack"
- One track by the OFF (I don't remember doing that).
- Some early Cats Like Plain Crisps stuff.
- Loads of embarrassing solo stuff from DC Bits.
- Some truly bizarre songs from DC Bits and Rob Martin (including "Pass the Grass Please Duchess (it's Next to the Shredded Wheat)", a must for every occasion).
Once I have re-mastered all this and obtained the relevant permissions it will hopefully be available for download. This is obviously going to be a fairly drawn out process so if there is anything you particularly want to hear register your interest by bitching.
25.07.05
As you probably know (what with you being down with the kids on the street, and all that), Mista Mushroom are in the process of recording an album at the moment. I had the pleasure of hearing some rough mixes last night and I have to say it was PHAT (I believe that's what young people say nowadays).
How they even manage to get 9 people in the same room without anybody getting stabbed is a mystery to me. If you haven't seen them yet...well make an effort for f**ks sake.
29.04.05
Chav on a stick!
14.02.05
I have finally found a picture of Cats Like Plain Crisps
29.01.05
Nothing! I'm too busy.
11.12.04
Does anybody have a copy of "The Easter Story" from the "Feet on the Street" launch gig (see bitching). If so can you get in contact through the complaints page.
I finally got to see Mr Mushroom last night (3.12.04) and thought they were brilliant! Every body go and see them or I'll come round to your house and read your electricity meter!

Appeal
There are moves afoot to make all the House of Cheese Sound Archive ™ available as mp3s for download and this includes all of the Waltons recordings many of which most people haven't heard before. Part of the problem we have with this is that a lot of it was recorded on a 4-track cassette deck (now defunct) and we need to borrow one similar so that we can transfer this material onto digital media. Can anyone help?
Welcome
to the new improved House of Cheese web site.
Well I say new improved but there is actually no guarantee that this is true.
For example you've just had to download a picture of a piece of emmental, What's the point of that? Hardly an improvement is it? Unless you have a seriously disturbing relationship with dairy products. I can't believe people make a living doing this s**t. Filling up mainframes all around the world with inconsequential eye candy, its enough to make my blood boil………………….err……
However if anybody out their wants to pay me a six figure sum to build websites that are obviously a crucial part of any company's economic portfolio and essential for the future development and ongoing expansion of the business community you can email me through the contacts page.
As I was saying welcome to the new improved House of Cheese web site it's…….err…….great.
