Chris T-T in fourth plinth appearance shocker
Singer-songwriter fellow Chris T-T - who you may or may not remember from his infamous spat with former DiS newshound Kev Kharas - is to appear on the 'vacant' fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square tonight from 10PM-11PM.
The fourth plinth - which had held host to works of art and sculptures over the previous few years - has been vacated by that multicoloured glass structure, and is now free for performers - if you can call them that - to use, however they see fit within reason, for an hour each.
There will have been 2400 performers over the hundred days, which started on July 6, wrapping up on October 14. It is unknown how many of them have been any cop.
If you want to get down and 'support' Mr T-T, then do so. Do so in your hundreds. Or, if you want to watch the festivities from the comfort of your own lap, then Sky Arts have been kind enough to shovel some money and resources into hosting a live stream of the event.
Be warned, though often filled with the boring and the inane as well as people who would, genuinely, be better off severely incapacitated, it is strangely addictive. At time of writing, there is an elven, new age type saying "feed us, we are so hungry".
Chris will be using the time to play his guitar and entertain the crowds. An idea I'm sure nobody ever thought of before. You might be lucky enough to hear some songs off his new album, out later this year.
Stay tuned for a live blog of the event.

Chinooks they'd be in Afghanistan.
Yeah, he *totally* ripped off Bad Guys…
…because he was entirely responsible for picking the date and time of his appearance. Oh, wait, no, he wasn't, it's all organised by the Plinth people and applicants aren't given any choice in the matter whatsoever, or any indication of whether they'll even be picked in the first place.
good work Luke
Brilliant, a news item and comments thread summing up exactly the heights Drowned In Sound has now reached. This para in particular is so beautifully constructed, it's worth repeating:
"The fourth plinth, which had previously held host to works of art and sculptures over the previous few years has recently been vacated by the multicoloured glass structure that was there previously, and has been left for performers - if you can call them that - to use, however they see fit within reason, for an hour each."
Meanwhile Fiddygent's well-fought campaign to destroy Chris T-T is worthy of consideration as a cipher for the universal frustration of the modern music fan, faced with someone they really, really don't like. And a good fat joke as well, cleverly referencing current affairs.
Of course T-T, former 'friend' of DiS, best known here for an entry in his blog rather than any of his music, was total fucking shite standing 10 metres above Trafalgar Square.
Fair point.
That paragraph was fairly dreadful.
lmao
Isn't it 'metres', not 'meters'?
"Chris will be using the time to play his guitar and entertain the crowds. An idea I'm sure nobody ever thought of before."
Someone's band came and played with him before,not sure if anyone's gone up there with a guitar though
