Reading Bill Drummond's interview with Stewart Home I noticed him plug a website called youwhore.com, where one can sell oneself however one wants. A nic registry lookup revealed it was indeed the work of one William Drummond (with St John's Wood address and phone no. - nice). Unfortunately, few of the services offered are very interesting. It would perhaps be better if everyone took it seriously, or if Bill Drummond wrote them all.

Further prodding revealed its sister website, www.mydeath.net and its parent, www.penkiln-burn.com

And, alarmingly Ronan Fitzgerald's funeral arrangements. But I fear, it is the wrong Ronan.

You can find B0bby G1llespie and a few other b-level celebs on that mydeath thing.... I think I signed up as well (but I'm neither B0bby G1llespie nor a b-level celeb).

'Bobby Gillespie is Preparing to Die' - such pretty lies.

N. (nickdastoor), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh and it's youwhores.com (plural)

Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 8 April 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yes - sorry.

How embarrassing - he really does put one's manifesto suggestions up.

Not sure if this was shared on ilx - excellent article by Drummond about his Liverpool years: http://www.liverpoolconfidential.co.uk/entertainment/remembrance-sunday-by-bill-drummond

Unusual for him as he's not the kind of guy to engage with nostalgia. Though I wish he would, I'd love to read a book-length account of that time, by him

NI, Saturday, 26 November 2016 16:31 (nine years ago)

Well, if Pete Townshend can't persuade him to ...

this act of a fake play about Drummond and Bob Dylan has a joyous true-ish anecdote about managing Echo & The Bunnymen:
