Barbie Ruined My Life LIVE MP3's coming soon!!!
This is the Barbie Ruined My Life website. If you thought this was a Barbie site please leave... we probably don't want you here...you're just not our type of people I'm afraid.

MP3s ARE COMING in due course. A couple of delays and fuck-ups along the way have rendered us unrecorded in our old form....the set list from our gigs have been posted, if you want any of the tabs, write me and I'll see if I still have them. Hopefully MP3's will be arriving sometime between now and January/February time, with the (quite) new line-up. New pics dotted around the site, including a brand spanking new "gallery" thing. I have long hair! Liam looks rather worried but still incredibly attractive, Pete looks cooler and sexier, and less dead, decidedly animated, in fact..hmmmmmm, stop me now...Oh, and Rob Dubbya has somehow changed into a small but perfectly formed female and changed his name to Babs...odd, that.
So, new line-up, new songs, new pics, what more could the discerning BRML fan want? A new logo, perhaps? We have that too! Will have it up here ASAP (get a move-on scanning it in, Vick-kay)

Can I slag off Barbie here guys? I mean we wouldn't want to be sued or anything, you know what those vicious capitalist pigs are like down at Mattel...I mean, they destroyed Bluebird, didn't they? Ok, if you're sure:

We don't appreciate pink writing.
Except on our own logo, of course
We collectively feel that Barbie isn't really a good role model for young girls... Woman? Get in the kitchen now.... Of course we don't mean that....really! Honest! Perhaps I shouldn't have said that... (Cue sounds of frying pan battering from all women reading this...we appreciate you really!)

Plus the fact that Barbie did in fact ruin all our lives by massacring our band members...once there were ten of us, and now only five remain. It was ugly. And quite surreal, actually. But seeing as Barbie, a 6 inch tall plastic doll encouraging girls to compact their organs was wielding a chainsaw, it wasn't funny at the time.
OK, I admit it, we did laugh a bit... but it wasn't that funny...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, there's more humorous banter inside the actual site, ever growing with general stuff, plus a full life history for each band member, with the exception of Pete, because he has no opinion on his life, or anything in fact, which is a bit of an arse when it comes to trying to work out if a song is good or a bit shit... And also the exception of me, who has, never has had, and never will have a life, in any way shape or form, honest guv'nor.
Which is why I'm the one typing this, not cos I'm the funny/technical one.
Oh yeah, and everything here is ours, ie. we own it and you'll have to fight Rob Wallace for it. Yeah, that's right, we own Barbie too. And don't even think about pointing out that we don't cos otherwise we'll...well, we'll be really horrid to you. Yeah! That's right. Downright Nasty (DN).
And we don't sound like the Monkees either
So just watch yourself, laddy.
