Happy New Year to all my Twitterers. More frequent tweeting will resume in the New Year. Until then, may old acquaintance be forgot etc xx

Today I have finally contracted the dreaded flu. Typically the day before New Years Eve. My entire body is aching. Watching HP on couch.

Stopped a woman from accidentally entering the mens toilet and then recoiled in horror as I realised it was a bloke with really long hair.

Really looking forward to entertaining all the stranded people at St Pancras international this Thursday at @stationsessions I'm on at 6pm!

Snowed in, completely trapped. It's times like these I'm glad I had the foresight to buy a Toboggan/Luge.

AC MILAN!!!!!!! Shit shit shit shit shit. We really didn't need that!

Something about the snow makes me want to set up an elaborate series of pranks in my house, then goad a pair of burglars. Culkin stylee...

Just at the very impressive Universal offices in Kensington. Not looking forward to walking back to the station!

It's getting close to that strange seemingly endless period of nothingness between Christmas and New Year. I call it seasonal limbo...

Chelsea at home today, this is it....... We need this win today. And I really fancy a Jerk Chicken from the West Indian place on the way.

Students, if you want to riot, fine. Fancy smashing a Top Shop? No problem, they're insured. But DON'T piss on Churchill's f*cking plinth.

Video of the day suggestion today by Carla. Being a friday there'll probably be another. http://ping.fm/XDJlc

Just prepared a melted tuna wrap, but my overzealous grill turned it into a quesadilla.

It's just a cat eating watermelon but it's almost certainly the Video of the Day! http://ping.fm/fybHK

Something ironic in the fact that I awoke today petrified that I'm suffering from chronic hypochondria. I need a short break in the priory.

Here are some photos of Kim Jong-Il looking at different things. http://ping.fm/n8mTv

Monsters = The worst film in history. I couldn't care less how cheap it was to make, it showed.

Just saw this for the 1st time, definitely worthy of video of the day http://ping.fm/B5lAB

Luckily I bought a toboggan on Saturday. Although on closer inspection it looks more like a luge.

Just heard about Leslie Nielsen. Devastated. Too many funny people dying this year. I loved him, one of the funniest people alive!

Love Dom Joly, his level of sarcasm is right up my street.

Back to work. My 1st day of the PR push and already got our 1st long lead interview! Hopefully many more to come.

Video of the year! http://ping.fm/9UlLR Just found this on youtube. Not sure who they are, great singer though!

Played a fantastic venue last night, "Regal Room" in Hammersmith. Some very talented performers on there too. All in all a good night.

Video of the day: http://ping.fm/c4wdd It's been a while, this one's special. And disgusting. Enjoy!

Doing a video today with Ransom notes. I spent 13 hours (literally) yesterday cutting out letters and sticking them to bits of card.

Loved Harry Potter. It was the best thing since someone conveniently decided to slice bread, thus alleviating the need to slice it at home.

New video on Wednesday. Spending today cutting up papers. I feel like that guy from Art Attack. You know, then one with the face.

COYFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it, 17 years and finally we beat the scum at home! Get in!!

Got all the way to the cinema yesterday. Then the ticket man over-enthusiastically tried 2 convince me that going alone was normal, I left.

COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is it sad to go and see Harry Potter on your own if you take a notepad so people think you're a reviewer?

Video of the day: http://ping.fm/B1aa7 The great Brian Sewell. A man so posh he makes the Queen sound like a Dickensian villain.

And another thing to ponder; they had an expensive wedding just after WW2. No comparison to our current woes. A great excuse to be patriotic

People need to stop going on about a cut-price Royal wedding. Thing about the amount of tourism it will bring to the country morons.

I don't usually like to parade political opinions but please watch this, it's very interesting http://ping.fm/zvkP9

Someone please hire a gypsy 2 examine the full extent of the Tottenham curse. It's becoming hard 2 believe that evil forces are not at work.

Today I'm preparing for Midem. Sending off a million contracts, MP3's, Images, Videos etc etc etc. Oh the glamour!

My video of the day today is a compilation of Olympic related bloopers. http://ping.fm/r5Qq6

Stayed up till 330 in the morning to watch the boxing. Fell asleep 5 minutes before it started, woke up as they announced the winner. FML

There seems to be some kind of tropical storm developing outside my window. Visions of the opening sequences of The Wizard of Oz.

This constant diet of Hummus and assorted flatbreads is giving me the digestive traits of a mountain goat.

O2 are by far the most useless and pathetically operated phone network in the country. Do not sign one of their soul destroying contracts.

Wait wait wait, logic tells me that this couldn't possibly be real, but 800,000 hits tells me otherwise http://ping.fm/WXGsR

Why has a missile just been launched from California?

Video of the day today is possibly the funniest youtube video I've ever seen in my life. http://ping.fm/R8c0n

Watching "A Christmas Carol" at yard, innit. This is amazing. Truly the best animation I've ever seen, and Jim Carrey's voice isn't annoying

Downton Abbey finale was a sorry affair, sorry indeed. So sorry in fact that I find myself speaking as if I were Lord Grantham himself.

Literally counting down the minutes to Downtown Abbey series finale. I've never loved something I should hate more.

What a weird industry, things are changing every day, at least it's not stale.

By far the best contender for VideoOfTheDay http://ping.fm/qeOgC Thanks to my friend @AdamJWilson for this one!

Still recovering after literally the greatest game I've ever seen. Gareth Bale is a God amongst men. I love him and his monkey face.

Having "one of those days" but in a very positive way. Things are going rather nicely. Let's hope Spurs don't ruin it tonight.

Looking forward to playing @ the Bedford tonight, not looking forward to the drive to Balham! AA Route planner is saying 90 mins, I disagree

Downtown Abbey here I come! Never been so excited.

RIP Gerald Kelly who played Bunny in Extra's. What a terrible loss for comedy!

If you're a londoner, come and see me playing live @ The Bedford in Balham on Monday 1st November (this monday)! 8PM Onwards x

Just had a call from Apple. Apparently my broken rubbish Iphone has water damage (it doesn't) so it will be £165 to fix. IhateSteveJobs

Had a great recording day with @PeteKirtley and @aMurrayMusic. Now going to do some gig rehearsals. What a strange life I lead.

For some peculiar reason my girlfriend is dressed like a 14 year old German schoolboy. Fashion apparently.

Sorry about the lack of tweets, been working hard! Video of the day: http://ping.fm/zk9uN

Really want to watch a Carry On film, one with Franky Howerd in it. Maybe Carry On Doctor. Or as I call it, cod.

So Rooney's now signed a 5 year extension at MAN UTD. Make your mind up you fat wop.

After the journey from hell I'm now stranded at Kings Cross station. Oh how I loathe TFL.

What a second half. Gareth Bale might just be God. COYS !!!!!!!!!!!

Name that film: "My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, Luge lessons."

Video 2; This is called "projection mapping", it was done to celebrate the 600th birthday of a clock in Prague. http://ping.fm/NbzLL

2 videos of the day today, I just can't help myself. Here's the 1st one; http://ping.fm/MTA0W Will Smith's daughter. She's 9 years old!!!!

Busy day today but hopefully I'll be rewarded tonight. coys

So excited to see the Spurs thrash Inter tomorrow night. I know I said it twice last season but this is the biggest match in our history!

Haven't done one of these for a while, but; "Video of the Day!" http://ping.fm/F2vkk I love the camera man, brilliant.

Wow, Aiden flopped it on X-Factor tonight. Shame, he was one of my favorites!

Big match for the Spurs today, we need to win. I reckon VDV will score 1st in the 23rd minute, Bale assist. Longshot

Feeling slightly more alive now, I had a sleep for a while. I have valium distorted memories of swearing repeatedly at the doctor.

Just been violated at hospital. Now want to go home but feeling drowsy and bloated.

Loving the new Harry Potter posters. So excited I can hardly breathe. Contemplating 3D or not 3D, like a modern world Hamlet.

Having a minor procedure tomorrow, a small operation. Now having to starve myself for 24 hours, not going to be fun.

Got some gigs coming up, starting with the Bedford in Balham on the 1st November and then again on the 11th.

Stayed up for hours watching the chilean miners being rescued. Didn't actually see a rescue, it was just lots of people standing around.

Watching the rescue of the Chilean Miners. Very exciting, nothing I love more than a "where were you" moment.

Walked out of a film today for the 1st time in years. Mr Nice - crap, absolute rubbish.

My voice is disappearing but I feel fine, which is tres annoying. Going to see a man about a kitchen this afternoon. Don't ask.

I've fallen in love with Kate Bush, young thin Kate Bush. http://ping.fm/kL3sv

On the way to a PR meeting in Baker Street, loosing my bloody voice!!!!!

Back on the met line, more meetings today. Going on a hummus hunt in town. I shall find the best available. Will post updates.

Fingertips are hurting, just a week away from the piano and they've lost their strength. I wish there was a finger strengthener to buy.

First day back and it's all going mental.

Back in England!! Wooohooooo. Now stuck on the M25. Not quite so woohoo. At least it's English traffic.

In Crete, Carla is driving me mental with constant requests to take photo's of her. Treating me like her own personal David Bailey.

Sorry about the lack of tweets! It's been a mad few days but now looking forward to a week in the sunshine tomorrow!

It ended up being a great meeting yesterday, we chose a very random 1st single but I'm confident the team know what they're doing.

BIG HUGE MASSIVE meeting tomorrow!! The first planning meeting for the release of my album. 14 people round a table. Bricking it.

Just went to Wobourn Safari park. It was great, came dangerously close to being accosted by a Ostrich though.

Just about to book a holiday for next week, I think I deserve one. Although I'll probably still be doing emails every day anyway.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: http://ping.fm/HqF97 This one is amazing, liquid magnets. This would make an amazing toy.

Just got back from a last minute meeting in stanmore, now with Carla watching Ugly Betty against my will.

Off to Notting Hill, which on closer observation is not the sloaney kitsch paradise that Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant would have you believe

Seething with anger

20 minutes trying to find a parking space in the F*CK*NG NCP carpark at Pinner station. I'm now at home and I've missed my meeting. LIVID.

In covent garden for a meeting at the Hospital club. Trains were a nightmare. I used the fatface app on strangers whilst stranded.

My favorite video of the day... I think I'll make this a daily fixture. http://ping.fm/jNRME

A few little meetings today, some production work and then off to my favorite place in the known world... Jane Benn, private GP, Stanmore.

How is it possible that I've never seen this!?!?!?!?!? http://ping.fm/00nva I want one now now now

Nursing a vile hangover today. Feel like someone's lifted up the top of my head and shat on my brains. Sorry to be so graphic. AlkaSeltzer

Just back from meetings in Oxford street. Bought myself a "drum throne" to use for the keyboard. I like the idea of a throne, b2b king etc.

Can't sleep, no point trying. My entertainment of the evening will be "The boys from Brazil". A classic that I've surprisingly never seen.

Its my birthday next week and I can't think of anything I want. Anyone have any interesting suggestions?

9pm ITV1 Paul O'Grady filling Jonathan Ross' slot. Oooooh madam (Frankie Howerd voice) http://ping.fm/5iS98

Watched a program on Koko the gorilla yesterday. She can speak fluent sign language. I want a pet gorilla now.

Happy New Year to everyone who's celebrating. I'm taking it easy today, perhaps a game of monopoly this afternoon, my usual Rosh practice.

Watching "come dine with me" big brother edition. Sparked an idea; "come die with me" live from Dignitas, Switzerland.

http://ping.fm/ZdvPs

UK hip hop at it's finest, literally how can u compare this to the USA. Jay-Z, Kanye and 50 eat ur heart out http://tinyurl.com/35wqccg

shanatova again to my Jewish followers. 1 more meeting today then it's Rosh Hashanah and I can relax. I'll probably still be tweeting tho.

Don't know if there's a backlog @ ping.fm but I've been posting messages and they aren't going up! Checked all my social networks, nothing.

Bloody Barclays Bank!!!! The 3 B's as it will be known now. Why on earth would they decide to stop sending me bank statements? No sense.

Was just in the studio working and the computer crashed. This is not supposed to happen with macs! I want Steve Jobs' head on a plate!

Video treat of the day; I might have attempted this a few times in my school life http://ping.fm/M5wwb

Really long day and golf nearly killed me. My arms and chest hurt in particular. I wasn't that good either.

Today I shall be playing 18 holes of golf with 3 friends. Luckily we have a buggy because I have no interest in walking anywhere.

Just woke up, feeling very lazy. Watched a new episode of entourage last night, it was brilliant. Is Lenny Kravitz Jewish?

HAHA Great goal celebration! http://ping.fm/nwbRb

Busy busy day and still feel ill. Not really ill as such but weak and pathetic. Need a workout today but would probably kill myself.

Was half way through the new episode of Entourage and then my girlfriend showed up. Can't watch the rest because she's 3 series' behind. hmf

The best video I've ever seen on youtube, FACT http://ping.fm/bdT6P

http://ping.fm/xbWoR Anyone had a go at this?? etinarcadiaego

Here's a woman reacting like someone's just shat in her happy mean http://ping.fm/YEJXa

It's worrying because I never usually get ill. I spend a lot of time worrying about getting ill but I'm hardly ever actually ill.

Sorry about the lack of tweeting yesterday twitter people. Had a meeting that lasted a really long time and then no laptop! Not well today.

3 people meet in a room and shake hands. How many handshakes take place???

My ears are ringing like mad. I've literally been on the phone since I got up this morning. I believe they call it Tinnitus.

Watching Dragons Den with Carla. Quite tired after an eventful day of shopping and gardening centres. Pathetic.

Nothing stranger than a bank holiday. I'm almost convinced that it's a sunday still.

Went to a petting zoo in Hertfordshire. Nothing more disconcerting than seeing a duck's vagina for the first time.

Had a lovely evening last night at my writing partner Andy Murray's wedding. I sang "you've got a friend in me" for the bride.

Just had to watch a video of how to iron a shirt on youtube. Please don't judge me.

Dinner for Schmucks was truly hilarious! Loved every minute of it. Haven't got sick of Zach Galifianakis yet either, which is impressive.

In the cinema at an advanced screening of "Dinner for Schmucks". Very excited! Anyone seen it?

And it all falls down again. Ridiculous unnecessary loss today, those 3 points will matter at the end of the season.

Not long until the annoying Coke advert is on, "Holidays are coming" etc. Tis never the season to be jolly Santa, and get out of my chimney.

"I thought I knew myself, didn't know that I would change. My reflection shows another man, but our faces are the same" Born to be the King.

I really hate flying and most of all the take-off and landing. So this scares the living crap out of me http://ping.fm/JE9oB

Reading a lot about pay per click marketing. What a boring boring subject. I much prefer children's literature.

Apparently there are cats being genetically engineered so that people with cat allergies won't sneeze whilst stroking them.

Anyone been to Blockbusters recently? They have now made blu-rays more expensive than dvd's. Ridiculous decision.

Here we go!!!! I can't believe I'm watching a Champions League draw and my team is in it. Unreal coys spurs

I'm off to the gym, with a laptop. I bought an ipad so I could use it on the bike, but there's no Flash so what's the bloody point.

Was almost certain that I just saw Peter Cook in Neasden, mindlessly ignoring the fact that he's been dead for 15 years.

How art thou my friends? Today I am compiling my publishing list. Every song I've written along with song splits and notes. Muchos boring.

Just got back from watching the mighty mighty Spurs. What a great game, finally going on a European tour!

Just got back from watching the mighty mighty Spurs. What a great game, finally going on a European tour!

Just watched the X-Factor again. The autotune is embarrassing. I actually can't believe they thought no one would notice. Pathetic.

My mate Matt Clifford filming Mick Jagger from new band the Rolling Stones (they're gonna be big, watch this space!) http://ping.fm/93swz

Swollen glands are making me nervous as I am the worlds leading hypochondriac. I'm on first name terms with my NHS doctor. Never good.

Another Dragons Den, the wand remote was the best. Although I got one at Christmas and it was crap.

Played golf today, 3 over par on the 1st hole, tee'd off on the 2nd and gave up immediately, way too frustrated. Had a yogurt to calm down.

Xfactor's back!!!!!! Thank god for sky+

Looking forward to going to the Hinds Head in Bray tonight. It's Heston Blumenthal's pub.

Just playing a game of pro evo with my good friend Sammy. Lost again, I'm crap.

Just had a good meeting with @TomFelton. Methinks you will be hearing some new music soon!

Un petite update.

So, I thought I'd let you all know what's going on with me at the moment. I'm currently spending a lot of my time practicing the piano. I've always played bits and pieces, I've had enough ability to get by and certainly enough to aid my writing. It's only been recently when faced with the prospect of having to do a gig on my lonesome that I've realised it might be time to get some hours in. A couple of weeks ago I drove all the way to Milton Keynes to pick up my new keyboard. Korg very generously gave me an endorsement, which allowed me to buy my stunning new SV-1 keyboard. My fingers are literally hurting, one of them is potentially fractured. At the same time, I've been dealing with a great new marketing team called Sunshine HQ. They have just set up a brilliant new store section for my website, it will hopefully be up in the next couple of weeks. I am also finalising the design for my album cover with the young freelance designer Alex Woodcock. Expect some new videos in the next couple of weeks, I'm about to start filming myself doing some really cool covers and performances of my own material. Until then, take care peeps. x

Gallas! What a strange purchase. Really hope we sign a striker before the window closes.

http://ping.fm/4wPhO GIANT RATS!!!!!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!

Had a great day in Camden today. I went into the market and found an upright piano covered in sheet music. It looked amazing!

In the ever weird and wonderful Camden for a meeting with Syllabus Music!

This is the best way to get retweeted.

What's blue and tacky?

What has everyone done today? I'm back in the studio again, boring boring boring.

I might now need to go to LA and New York in september. I need to get over this fear of flying immediately!!

Brand new Video Blogs on my youtube page

View the Article: http://www.samroman.co.uk/news/samromanreleasesnewvideoblogs-55.htm

So I decided the other day to start posting up some video blogs on my youtube page.

I hadn't done these videos before but I thought I'd give it a go, how hard could it be just talking into a camera?

The first of these 2 latest vlogs features me and some friend going to a Beer festival in town. I'm not a massive fan of beer as you will be able to tell from my sampling in the video. 

The second vlog features me showing off my collection of Harry Potter first editions. I have been a massive massive fan of Harry Potter for many years and decided to start collecting some books as an investment. Sadly I don't really think I'll ever be able to sell them, or for that matter touch them again. They sit quietly in a glass bookcase in my room, I just like knowing that I own them.

So I hope you enjoy the vlogs and if you have an account, then make sure that you subscribe for updates of my next vlog.

Today, the operators of my good friend Tom Felton's fansite contacted me and wrote an article.

They asked me a few questions about the symbolism behind my new video "Gone".

You can have a look at the article with the following link.

Samuel...

The keyboard from heaven

Today I had a meeting in Covent Garden, so I decided to take a stroll down to Denmark Street. I usually like to have a look in all the shops and try out the guitars. I used to have a bit of a guitar fetish and at one stage had quite a decent collection. Nowadays I hardly get to play the guitar, as I spend so much time on the piano. In my basement I have a lovely piano. It's old, out of tune, the pedals are rubbish and it's in a bad condition, but I love it. I've had it now for many years, I taught myself to play on it in fact.

When you're a guitarist, you're always looking at new guitars. They are not massively expensive (apart from the very high end ones), they are easy to store, you can even hang them on the wall. As a pianist I don't think I've ever looked for a new piano. Not only because they cost thousands of pounds, but because they usually weigh the same as a small horse. Similarly I've never been interested in keyboards, I don't like the flimsiness of them. They are generally lightweight, the keys are usually plastic and they look crap. Today everything changed, in a dramatic and presently depressing manner.

Today, for the first time I fell head over heals in love with a keyboard. For dramatic effect I will talk about it as if it were a lady, the kind of thing people do when they talk about a new car or a yacht. Her name was the Korg SV-1, she had 88 keys and made me go weak at the knees (the rhyme was not intentional). I could go on describing her, but as they say, a picture speaks a thousand words, here is the link to Korg's website.

http://www.korg.com/product.aspx?pd=562

I really really really really really really really want one. I don't just want one in fact, I need one. It's all that I can think of and I can't shake it. I played it for about 5 minutes in the shop, stopping after realising there was a very good chance that I was singing/crying loudly to myself whilst playing. People were looking at me, it all went a bit weird. I left the shop disheartened after learning that they had none in stock. Neither did the 4 other shops that I phoned in the West End area. I might offer my services to Korg as their international sales person, I think that I could do a sterling job for them, if only I could stop myself from weeping ever time I saw it. I can guarantee that it would be the only thing that I played on stage.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my feelings with all of you. Here to close this email is a youtube clip of one of my favorite pianists Frank McComb playing it and talking about his similar love affair.
