What better way to celebrate the start of the Christmas break than to dance to loads of songs by artists who were blessed with the initial 'B'?

Friday 21st December
Upstairs at The Camden Head
10pm-3am
FREE ENTRY

Want to come to this.

I wanted to last time but had two Hallowe'en parties of close friends that I couldn't easily turn down. Hopefully no friends' Christmas parties'll clash...

Oh, you bellend

Suckered me in with the Womack, and then arranged it for a day when I'm in Milton bloody Keynes. Ah well, see you in January for Tubthumping.

Can't believe this is STILL two weeks away...

The white board pen might dry out before this comes around.

However that still gives you guys time to suggest shit and brush up on BATS songs so I can deafen you with some post-hardcore punk rock.

  Anyway, probably wasn't gonna request anything anyway. Assuming you've already got the basics covered (Total Eclipse, Spaceman, Intergalactic, Parklife, Wicked & Weird, Walk like an Egyptian, Drinking in LA, Heart Attack American and the Jaxx stuff mentioned upthread, as well as You're The First, The Last, My Everything) then anything else is a bonus. And I know you'll already have all those because you are a man of fine taste; I just wanted to have a nose at what else you've got.
  I guess I can wait.
